Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

2016-02-25 Thread Ranti Junus
I, for one, really appreciate those who volunteered their time to be duty
officers. I saw there are only 7 people who volunteered [1]. Would some
more people consider to put their name as well, at least as backup(s) for
the duty officer during the shift? (alas, I'm not going to this year's
code4lib so I can't volunteer.)

Thanks for considering.

Hello! Several of us encountered this article

and we like the idea that Slack can be used as a communication hub for

[CODE4LIB] Fwd: ​webinar, Using GeoBlacklight to Implement Your Own Geoportal, Feb. 19, 2014, 3PM EST.

2015-02-16 Thread Ranti Junus
Of possible interest. Forwarded by request. --ranti.


--
MAGIRT is proud to sponsor the
​​
webinar, Using GeoBlacklight to Implement Your Own Geoportal on February
19, 2014 at 3 PM EST.

GeoBlacklight http://geoblacklight.org/ is an open-source geospatial
discovery technology which expands the Blacklight search platform into GIS
data holdings. GeoBlacklight is installable in minutes, easily
customizable, and compatible with the Hydra ecosystem (
http://projecthydra.org ). In this webinar, we will (1) demonstrate the
GeoBlacklight technology, (2) define and describe geospatial data holdings,
(3) discuss how you can implement your own Geoportal using GeoBlacklight,
and (4) field questions you may have.

The technology behind GeoBlacklight goes beyond traditional Geoportals to
provide three types of search (text, faceted, and spatial) across a
federated repository of shared geospatial metadata, and a rich data model
designed for preservation and repository management. Stanford started the
development of GeoBlacklight in 2013, and, with MIT and Princeton, released
a beta version in 2014, with a planned 1.0 release in 2015.

Moreover, this effort is an open collaborative project aiming to build off
of the successes of the multi-institutional Blacklight and OpenGeoportal
federated metadata sharing communities (http://opengeoportal.org ).

Registration is $20, or free to MAGIRT members:
http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=olwebTemplate=/Conference/ConferenceList.cfmConferenceTypeCode=X


Speakers:

Darren Hardy is a GIS Software Engineer at Stanford University, where he
develops open-source geospatial digital library software and services. His
interdisciplinary research focuses on crowd-sourcing geographic
information, geospatial data discovery and management, and spatial effects
on information behaviors. He earned Ph.D. and Masters degrees in
Environmental Science and Management from the University of California,
Santa Barbara, and B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from the
University of Colorado at Boulder.

Jack Reed is a Geospatial Web Engineer at Stanford University. He works on
increasing access to geospatial data at Stanford University Libraries. A
contributor to open-source software, Jack is active in the GIS, library,
and open-data communities. He also serves on the executive committee of The

I agree that streaming crew should be free from doing the paperwork. Tara
has volunteered to be the paperwork person and I'm volunteering to help
her out.

I think streaming crew, Tara, and I can discuss separately on things that
are need to be done or information we should provide (e.g. list of those
who opt-out, their talk schedule, etc.) to the streaming crew.

 To be clear, what I said or tried to say is that the streaming crew needs
 to know if he presenter does not wish to be shown, or if they do not want
 their presentation shown before they start presenting. At least one full
 minute before would be great. They can take our word that we will honor
 their wishes.

 I think that it is fair to say that nobody involved with the video wants
 anything to do with paperwork, and if anyone has the time and energy to do
 that, their time would be better spent actually working on the video crew,
 which at this point is virtually nonexistent.

 Every presenter should know that we will be putting up video of their
 session or talk on our YouTube channel with a CC license, unless they
 demure. We should have a small sign to that effect at the podium, as well.

 The simplest solution would be to modify the settings.php to start pushing

 everything over HTTPS is probably fine too.

 As for additional administrative overhead, if someone else wants to manage

 year to put a new certificate in place and then restart Apache once I have

  Just today, I noticed a security alert (https://drupal.org/node/2129381)

  I have personally tended to just put everything behind https because of
 the

Re: [CODE4LIB] Usability Person?

2013-10-30 Thread Ranti Junus
Our library has a User Experience group. This is not a unit, but consists
of 4 people whose part of work is related to user experience. This group's
main focus primarily on the online experience: website, catalog,
e-resources, and accessibility. We did quite a number of usability tests,
shared the results with the stake holders, and recommended the changes. The
changes that we recommended on our web presence tend to be small. The idea
is not to do big change where it's very noticeable, but make it incremental
so users won't get disoriented. Hence the frequent tests. For the
accessibility part, I hired a blind student to assist me assessing our web
presence and e-resources.

We just hired a dedicated user experience librarian whose work would also
include customer service assessments and user space area.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 Call for Proposals

2013-10-17 Thread Ranti Junus
Code4lib 2014 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people
working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums and technology
with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge collaborations.

The conference will be held at the *Sheraton Raleigh Hotel in downtown
Raleigh, NC from March 24 - 27, 2014*.  For more information about the
hotel, visit http://www.sheratonraleigh.com/

We are currently accepting proposals for prepared talks and
pre-conferences. While only a limited number of these can be selected,
multiple lightning talk and breakout sessions will provide additional
opportunities for you to make your voice heard at the conference.



*Proposals for Prepared Talks:*

Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should
focus on one or more of the following areas:

- Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of
existing technologies and/or development of new software

- Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing tools,
standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)

- Technical issues – Big issues in library technology that should be
addressed or better understood

- Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib
community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration,
diversity, organizational challenges, etc.

*To submit a proposal:*

- Go to http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_Prepared_Talk_Proposals

- Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already
registered, follow the instructions to do so.

- Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your
proposed talk.

- If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented
at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional,
but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters.

As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they
would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top
10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional
presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to
ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still
weigh heavily in these decisions.

Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will
be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard
conference registration fee will still apply.

Proposals can be submitted through Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST.
Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6,
2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early
January, 2014.



*Pre-Conference Proposals:*

Pre-conferences are full- or half-day sessions that will be held on Monday,
March 24th, 2014 and can cover just about any topic you can think of [1].

If you are interested in hosting a pre-conference session, please create a
pitch at http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_preconference_proposals.
Pitches should be added to the wiki by December 6.

Please indicate the topic of your session and your preference for full-day
or half-day.  This is expected to be a fluid process, as our venue provides
some flexibility in determining space.

*Pre-Conference Attendance:*

If you are interested in attending a pre-conference, please list your name
underneath the pre-conference description on the wiki; this does not incur
any obligation on your part, but will help planners. You might want to
visit the page occasionally as new session pitches are added.  Actual,
less-revocable registration for pre-conferences will be handled as part of
the overall conference registration, and will involve a very small fee.


We look forward to reading your proposals, and seeing you at the conference!

Re: [CODE4LIB] editing code4lib livestream - preferred format

We only need to create an account on the Internet Archive in order to

 Anyone have experience uploading video to IA? I think IA should have a
 step where the video can be encoded as MP4 and OGV.

 Tara, is there a way I, and others, could access the video you chopped
 up at least for a time? It doesn't much matter what format it is in at

  I offered to do a basic edit on the video from the livestream. Francis
 sent
  me an mp4. I'm using Quicktime to cut it into hunks--can easily save as a
  .mov or export as a m4v. I was aiming to convert them to mp4, but then
  wondered where the files were going to be stored or uploaded...
 
  In addition to this year's livestream account http://bit.ly/c4l13-streamI
  see that there's also http://www.livestream.com/code4lib From what

  have said on the list it sounds like there isn't a central place where
 video
  is being kept. For the Access conference in 2011 we put them on the
 Internet

 http://archive.org/details/DavidBinkleyMemorialLectureembodiedHistoriesTheWeightOfData

  I'm not a digital library person (and I know there's a bunch of smart
 folks

  I want to split these files into the sessions because I want colleagues

 in a
  way that's useful for other folks too.

  OK, my presentation was on HTML5 video, so let's see if I can help.
 
  What's the source video--where did you get it? How are you planning on
  making it accessible? Where will the video be hosted? (Where the video
  is hosted could be different from any interface where it is made
  accessible.)
 
  If we can make them accessible on the Code4Lib site, I'd suggest
  web-optimized MP4 and WebM. If you do the splitting and naming into

  with processing the video into the proper formats.
 
  We'd still need to figure out where the actual video files would be

  could still potentially display them within the Code4Lib pages

Re: [CODE4LIB] Q.: software for vendor title list processing

2012-10-18 Thread Ranti Junus
Godmar,

Does your library subscribe to Serials Solutions? If it does, I wonder
if you could use the list from SerSols.

 Hi,

 at our library, there's an emerging need to process title lists from
 vendors for various purposes, such as checking that the titles purchased
 can be discovered via discovery system and/or OPAC. It appears that the
 formats in which those lists are provided are non-uniform, as is the
 process of obtaining them.

 For example, one vendor - let's call them Expedition Scrolls - provides
 title lists for download to Excel, but which upon closer inspection turn
 out to be HTML tables. They are encoded using an odd mixture of CP1250 and
 HTML entities. Other vendors use entirely different formats.

 My question is whether there are efforts, software, or anything related to
 streamlining the acquisition and processing of vendor title lists in
 software systems that aid in the collection development and maintenance
 process. Any pointers would be appreciated.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib MidWest: Parking lot

2012-07-23 Thread Ranti Junus
Hi All,

For those who are driving directly to the MSU Libraries from your
city, we posted a map (PDF) showing the parking lot for visitors [1].
It's basically located next to the MSU Spartan Stadium. This map was
created when our back entrance (called the Red Cedar entrance) was
being renovated, so the map shows a detour to the library. Ignore that
detour mark and just go straight to the Red Cedar entrance after you
cross the bridge.

The parking fee will be covered by us if you park in that lot; we will
give you the parking permit before you leave.

Looking forward to see you all there!


thanks,
ranti.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Google Analytics w/ Sub-sub-domains

2012-02-06 Thread Ranti Junus
Andrew,

I looked at the www.library.yale.edu and a bit confused with the links
there. The links go to resources.library.yale.edu, but users will
eventually get the www.library.yale.edu/researchtools or other
sub-directories. So, my question is why there even exists
resources.library.yale.edu if the users would end up in a subdirectory
of www.library.yale.edu? The only thing that I can think of is to
track the click-through by looking at the logs. If that's the case,
why the need to have GA code to track resources.library.yale.edu?

Sorry, not really helping out, but perhaps understanding the reason
behind that resources.library.yale.edu might help figure out how to
proceed. Either way, looks like the Brian Tingle's suggestion should
work.

Also, since most of the link from www.library.yale.edu go to a
different subdomain, I believe the 98% drop off is expected.

 Dear All,
 My colleague came with this query and I hope some of you could give us some 
 ideas or suggestion:
 Our Digital Multimedia Center (DMC) scanning project can produce very large 
 PDF files. They will have PDFs that are about 25Mb and some may move into the 
 100Mb range. If we provide a link to a PDF of that large, a user may not want 
 to try to download it even though she really needs to see the information. In 
 the past, DMC has created a lower quality, smaller versions to the original 
 file to reduce the size. Some thoughts have been tossed around to reduce 
 the duplication or the work (e.g. no more creating the lower quality PDF 
 manually.)
 They are wondering if there is an application that we could point to the end 
 user, who might need it due to poor internet access, that if used will 
 simplify the very large file transfer for the end user. Basically:
 - a client software that tells the server to manipulate and reduce the file 
 on the fly

[CODE4LIB] Apps to reduce large file on the fly when it's requested

2011-08-03 Thread Ranti Junus
Dear All,

My colleague came with this query and I hope some of you could give us some
ideas or suggestion:

Our Digital Multimedia Center (DMC) scanning project can produce very large
PDF files. They will have PDFs that are about 25Mb and some may move into
the 100Mb range. If we provide a link to a PDF of that large, a user may not
want to try to download it even though she really needs to see the
information. In the past, DMC has created a lower quality, smaller versions
to the original file to reduce the size. Some thoughts have been tossed
around to reduce the duplication or the work (e.g. no more creating the
lower quality PDF manually.)

They are wondering if there is an application that we could point to the end
user, who might need it due to poor internet access, that if used will
simplify the very large file transfer for the end user. Basically:
- a client software that tells the server to manipulate and reduce the file
on the fly
- a server app that would to the actual manipulation of the file and then
deliver it to the end user.

Personally, I'm not really sure about the client software part. It makes
more sense to me (from the user's perspective) that we provide a download
the smaller size of this large file link that would trigger the server-side
apps to manipulate the big file. However, we're all ears for any suggestions
you might have.


thanks,

Re: [CODE4LIB] How do you request digital format for a pdf interlibrary loan journal article where a digital format is available for the article?...

2011-05-04 Thread Ranti Junus
It depends on the license agreement between the publisher and the
lending library. Many publishers do not allow library ILL to simply
download the PDF directly from their journal article page and send it
to the requestor.  A lot of publishers allow the lending library to
download and print the article, and then send it to the borrowing
library as paper copy. There are also  publishers who allow to send
article as print-scan-send. That is, we have to print out the PDF,
scan it (back to the PDF), and send it as a file.

Do ask me why the publisher want that kind of silliness. That's what
I'm told when I complaint about exactly the same thing.

It is my understanding the scan-to-pdf is the problematic one; ILL
unit will need to have OCR-capable scanner and that might add another
burden to them if the OCR result is not good. YMMV.

 Elsevier Code Challenge – Building OpenSocial Apps for Libraries
 Elsevier is sponsoring a code challenge to build OpenSocial apps for
 Libraries. Using JavaScript and HTML5, Librarians can write customized apps
 for the SciVerse suite: ScienceDirect, Scopus and Hub. The Elsevier
 Challenge is now open for all librarians and coders and closes on March 1,
 2011.

 The prizes for this code challenge are as follows:

 Prizes:

 1.       $1500 (Amazon gift card)

 2.       $1000 (Amazon gift card)

 3.       $500  (Amazon gift card)
 The next web is going to be based on apps that allow librarians and end
 users to customize their search needs. Elsevier’s new SciVerse platform has
 extended Apache Shindig, the OpenSocial container, for apps to appear
 alongside search results, full-text articles and meta-data, which can be
 accessed through the Sciverse APIs. Using open APIs and open data, apps can
 mashup SciVerse content with third party data and services.

 The Elsevier Challenge at Code4Lib challenges librarians to build better
 tools and services on the SciVerse suite: ScienceDirect, Scopus and Hub and
 customize the search tools for their library and users.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Van Departure list updated...

2010-02-18 Thread Ranti Junus
Based on this manifest page:
http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Asheville_Airport_to_Hotel_Van_Manifest

there are three openings for Thursday 3:30pm slot (Load G, WCU) so
looks like Gong, Ou, and Atzberger can be added there.

 Hey Code4Lib attendees,

 Well I spend another day in Excel Hell seeing if we could squeeze anymore van 
 runs..lol

  I'm sad to say, we could only add one van load to the list and it's early 
 one..  I am very sad about it. ( But this does leave 4 slots open for those 
 that want to leave extra early..so check it out to see if you want to do 
 this...)

 We could really use 3 vans to get all the folks that seems to want to make 
 that trip to the airport at same time on Thursday... But we don't.  Sorry...  
 :(

 Only thing I can do to help is recommend the following folks get together to 
 see if they can share taxis or rides.

 Based on my calculation...I recommend that:

 Marquez, Stethers, Lamm, and Young see what they can do to share a ride at 
 12:15 pm on Thursday...

 Barrera, James, Rockliff, Reiss and Rochkind see what they can do to share a 
 ride at 2:00 pm on Thursday...

 Hellman, Classen-Wilson, and Kome see what they can do to share a ride at 
 2:30 pm on Thursday

 And Gong, Ou, and Atzberger see what they can do to share a ride at 3:30 pm 
 on Thursday.

 The rest is up to you...

 I'm going to look tomorrow to see if we can add a late run on Monday (I think 
 I see a possibility there with those folks with a - in the ride share list 
 last column...)

[CODE4LIB] Assigning DOI for local content

2009-11-17 Thread Ranti Junus
Hi All,

I was asked by somebody from a college @ my institution whether they
should go with assigning DOI for their journal articles:
http://llt.msu.edu/

I can see the advantage of this approach and my first thought is more
about whether they have resources in running their purl server, or
whether they would need to do it through crossref (or any other
agency.) Has anybody had any experience about this?

Moreover, are there other factors that one should consider (pros and
cons) about this? Or, looking at the structure of their content,
whether they ever need DOI? Any ideas and/or suggestions?


Any insights about this is much appreciated.


thanks,
ranti.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Suggest a keynote speaker for Code4Lib 2010!

2009-08-16 Thread Ranti Junus
I'd like to nominate two people (in no particular preference or order)
because of their involvements in community-based activities. I think
having somebody talks about community for the code4lib would be great.


1. Jono Bacon - http://www.jonobacon.org/
Jono Bacon works at Canonical as the Ubuntu Community Manager and
works to grow and lead the world-wide Ubuntu community. He wrote
several books[1] and currently is working on a book titled the Art Of
Community published by O’Reilly. According to their site [2], the
book will also be freely available online to enjoy, share and modify
under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike Non-Commercial
license.  The draft of the first chapter is available online.[3]

Bacon previously had worked as a professional Open Source advocate at
the UK government funded OpenAdvantage. He is a member of the Open
Source community, co-founder and presenter of LugRadio, contributor to
projects such as Jokosher, KDE and GNOME, and SeveredFifth music
project.[4]


2. Benjamin Mako Hill - http://mako.cc/
Ben Mako Hill is a Senior Researcher at the MIT Sloan School of
Management, a Fellow at the MIT Center for Future Civic Media, and an
adviser and contractor for the One Laptop per Child project. He has
been a leader, developer, and contributor to the Free and Open Source
Software community as part of the Debian and Ubuntu projects. He
authored The Official Ubuntu handbook (together with Jono Bacon) and
Hacking Knoppix, among other things [5], and a member of the Free
Software Foundation board of directors.

I had a pleasure to listening to Ben Mako Hill's experience during an
OLPC XO get together [6] at PenguiCon 2008 [7].

Re: [CODE4LIB] Another nail in the coffin

possibility that this tool might be able to work on presenting the
information based on the context.

Scouring the Twine site gave me this:

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Logo?

2008-09-29 Thread Ranti Junus
 The key to working with a professional is in identiyfing the design
 program — what the organization's story is, who its community is,
 and who you want to get your message to with the branding, as well as
 identifying what uses the logo will be used for — print, promotional
 items (t-shirts, hats, temporary tatoos, whatever), online — which has
 on effect on the deliverables, e.g. file sizes and formats.


I'm for the logo that are designed professionally like the design
program described above.  This doesn't mean that the designer have to
be a professional.  They could be amateurs as well.  LaunchPad [1] and
SpamAssassin [2] have great examples.

On a side note, I'll go for the temporary tattoos.  Also a sticker
that I can put on my laptop. ;-)

I wonder if the planet can be configured to display only blog posts
that have certain tag(s)?  This, of course, would be effective only if
the blog owners agree to help by adding extra tag(s) on their blog
posts.  If they agree and the configuration can be done, only relevant
topics would be displayed on the planet.

I also support truncating the posts.

 personal content, but there are certainly others on there that have done that 
 as well.  Better solution seems to be just truncating the posts.  (Or 
 offering a full and truncated feed).  If there's a particular person who 
 you don't like, then filter it out with Yahoo pipes or something similar.

 A change log might be useful as well if it's not too much of a hassle to

 What software does the planet run on?  Some sort of drupal module?
