Re: [CODE4LIB] OregonDigital's BookReader integration (was: Listserv communication)

Thanks guys, and thank you Shaun, for following up. This is exactly what I was hoping to learn. I have to admit I'm surprised that the "direct-to-page-link" functionality isn't more common in the newer/inspiring digital collections. It exists in contentDM (not saying that is reason it should

Re: [CODE4LIB] onboarding developers coming from industry

+1 to TH5! I’m also very new to the environment.. And I’m really liking what I see. Fifteen years of multi-billion dollar tech industry work makes what I’m seeing around library tech and the processes/services involved seem like a piece of cake. OTOH, I’m coming from a corporation which was

Re: [CODE4LIB] onboarding developers coming from industry

I think that the importance of sharing your passion for library service should not be overlooked. While universities can be rather bureaucratic, this may also be true of many of the commercial and governmental organizations from which these developers are being hired. The advantages that we do

Re: [CODE4LIB] onboarding developers coming from industry

I also agree very much with what Deborah wrote. I'd come from an IT/software development background, and even after a couple of years in libraries, I hadn't adjusted to library culture. I was frustrated enough to write a paper about it and present at ACRL:

Re: [CODE4LIB] onboarding developers coming from industry

I just wanted to say thank you for this thread. I recently jumped ship from industry and am still orienting myself. The non-technical aspects are a much bigger change than I anticipated; they are also precisely why I switched. To be honest I feel like I still don’t even really know what

Re: [CODE4LIB] onboarding developers coming from industry

One of the big shifts for me - a newbie to library science who switched over from industry late last spring - is just how many people _outside_ the college I interface with, part of that being the open source community. And I LOVE that aspect of my job, knowing that there¹s a larger community out
