Re: [CODE4LIB] Adding Twitter to Google Analytics

[Thompson, Keri]

Hi Kim,
If I am reading your question correctly, just setting up an advanced/custom 
segment in Google Analytics that tracks traffic coming from fb and twitter 
should do the trick.   

Create an advanced segment, name it and then set it to "include"  "source" then 
use "Matching RegExp" and fill in the form with:
 facebook|m.facebook.com|hootsuite.com|ow.ly|t.co|tweetdeck|twitter

(or whatever you wantthat's just some of the sources I use...including 
ow.ly and hootsuite because we use hootsuite here at SI)

You can then put that custom segment on your dashboard in a widget if you want. 
 Or not. 

Hth,
Keri

You shouldn't have to do any setup for basic counts to show up.  Traffic coming 
directly from Twitter or Facebook ought to be appearing under 
   Traffic Sources -> Social -> Overview

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Adding Twitter to Google Analytics

Hi Everyone,

I am running a wordpress-powered web site and use Google Analytics to measure 
our traffic. I would like to set up Analytics so that it measures traffic 
coming from Twitter and Facebook. I see that Google Analytics can be set up to 
track social interactions, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the instructions on 
how to set it up 
(https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSocial?hl=en_GB).

Have any of you successfully set this up? Care to share your tips?

It would be wonderful if there was a simple edit to the WP code, or a plugin - 
am I dreaming?

Many thanks,
Kim

Brief description of project:
TL-2 is the premier publication of the International Association for Plant

numbered entries for the author's publications. Suggested abbreviations for use 
in taxonomic publications are provided: abbreviations for the author's name, 
short titles and abbreviations of the short titles for publications. TL-2 is 
the standard by which authors' names and titles should be abbreviated.

challenges faced in mining or linking data, etc.

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib National Capitol Area VA/MD/DC

[Thompson, Keri]

---all others may ignore this message---
Meeting
THIS THURSDAY the 13th
4:30pm
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History

I forgot to send out a reminder last week, but that doesn't mean we're not 
meeting.
I mean it doesn't not mean that we're not not meeting.
Or to put it another way, we're still meeting.
If you come, that is. If you don't come, it will be pretty boring. And sad.
So sad that unicorns will cry rainbow tears into a lake of sparkle-y despair.[1]

I can try to set up a video conference if you so desire such a thing (please 
email me to that effect) but I've had mixed results with our new system so will 
try but no guarantees.

Also: what do you want to talk about? I want to talk about Linked Data projects 
and maybe OCLC and schema.org or maybe Joel can talk about making Drupal 
modules and how much he loves serials but if you can think of something 
more fun than that PLEASE add it to the wiki. PLEASE. Do it for the unicorns.

[CODE4LIB] Reminder: Code4lib Regional MD/DC/VA - National Capitol Area meeting JUNE 27th

[Thompson, Keri]

Apologies if my original subject line confused anyone.  The code4lib regional 
group that is in the general vicinity of Washington, DC is meeting *next week*!
If you haven’t already, please email, call, or @ me if you are thinking about 
attending.

If you have never come to a local DC Code4lib meetup NOW IS THE TIME!  THIS IS 
THE ONE YOU WANT TO ATTEND!
But don’t come because I shouted at you in all caps, come because we sincerely 
want you to be here, and there will be much geeking out, and fun, and tasty 
beverages afterwards, AND because we’re meeting at the Smithsonian which is 
pretty darn cool (if I do say so myself.) The room we’re meeting in has had the 
main corridor blocked, so getting to the meeting will require traversing secret 
passages and mysterious doors and whatnot. It will be just like Night at the 
Museum, except without Ben Stiller, and nothing comes to life, and it’s not 
nighttime.

What: code4lib MD/DC/VA
Who: code4lib fans in the DC/MD/VA Greater Washington, DC/National Capitol area
When: Wednesday, June 27th  4:30-5:30p meet, 5:30p-? Tasty beverages
Where: Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, 10th and 
Constitution Ave. NW, Washington DC


Details and agenda on the wiki http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/MDC

Also, if you have anything to add to the agenda, PLEASE for the love of Pete DO 
SO.

Can we squeeze in a meeting between ALA and wikimania?  Let's find out.

Please RSVP to me if you plan to attend so I can get a sense thatthere will 
actually be a meeting. And so I know how much to bake.  Also, I probably have 
to get guest badges for people so I need to know your name.

Additional details and agenda will be forthcoming on the wiki

Re: [CODE4LIB] A to Z lists

[Thompson, Keri]

We have a home grown system built on CF/MSSQL.  It currently manages our 
electronic serials licensing workflow (or part of it at least) as well as 
generating the A-Z list.  One peculiarity of the list, and one reason why we're 
still using it, is that staff wanted to be able to include "select" free/open 
access serials in a list while *not* adding them to the catalog. 
I hope to replace it with something more automated in the near future.

We user Xerxes too to serve up our databases A-Z list but as we have so many
