Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib 2013 location
Hello all, I'm responding to this older thread to point you to a travel logistics page on the Code4Lib wiki for the conference: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2013_travel We'll add further info to this page as needed. I hope this helps with conference navigation!

Re: [CODE4LIB] screen scraping
I don’t know how well this applies to your specific use of screen-scraping, but for libraries’ broader use of crawlers to build archives, the Section 108 Study Group Recommendations are a good source of guidance (though not law). They propose specific copyright exceptions for libraries in regard to collecting and archiving “publicly accessible online content”. Their recommendations are clear & sensible… they run from page 80-87 of the report. http://www.section108.gov/docs/Sec108StudyGroupReport.pdf Tracy Seneca California Digital Library From: Code for Libraries [CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] on behalf of Nate Hill [nathanielh...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 7:23 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] screen scraping A question: what are the 'rules' around screen scraping? If one site doesn't offer an RSS feed and you want to grab (for example) their weekly top ten list with a script and then redisplay it on another site, is that bad form? Or even illegal?

Re: [CODE4LIB] best persistent url system
Hi Michael, One of the cases the UC3 folks talked over for EZID was the researcher who may have access to post files to a server but who doesn’t have any administrative access at all. So if I’ve got research data parked on a server at one university and I move elsewhere, it may be straightforward for me to move the files around, but I’m less likely to find an administrator (particularly at the old institution) to do link rewriting or even let me keep simple redirect files around.
