I'm interested in using automation software such as Macro Express or iMacros to
feed a list of ISBNs from a spreadsheet into Copac or Worldcat and output a
list of those that return no matches in the results screen. The idea would be

Quick question for those planning to attend Code4Lib 2015 - Would the
availability of childcare make a difference in your being able to attend? If
so I'll propose and lead a childcare committee (seeing as I'm almost local to
it.)

As with most libraries, we're accumulating an increasing number of
digital holdings. So far, our approach to storing these files consists
of a haphazard cocktail of:
- A ContentDM site whose contents haven't been updated in three years
- live network storage in the form of shared drives
- a

For our CONTENTdm to MetaArchive workflow we use Bagit, and we archive the
masters, not the site.

So, I realize we are a great volunteer organization with lots of trustworthy
folks -- but this is something where if you are going to be offering child
care, it cannot be by committee or volunteer. For an event like this, you

What you're saying on the Sonoma County Library website is accurate and
correct. I hope other libraries follow your example, if they use AddThis.
