Daley Library, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu<br /> <br /> Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called &quot;Big Data&quot; problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB or CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Esha Datta<br /> * Trevor Thornton<br /> * Michael Doran<br /> * Ray Schwartz - schwartzr2@wpunj.edu<br /> * Kevin Clarke<br /> * Andreas Orphanides<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen - tommying{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Harrison Dekker<br /> * Eric James eric dot james at yale dot edu<br /> * Sean Crowe - sean.crowe@uc.edu<br /> * Scott Hanrath - shanrath@ku.edu<br /> * Erin Fahy - erin.fahy at mtholyoke edu<br /> * Karen Coyle - kcoyle at kcoyle.net<br /> * Charles Draper<br /> * David Uspal<br /> * Shawn Kiewel - smkiewel at uga dot edu<br /> * Stephanie Collett - stephanie dot collett at ucop dot edu<br /> * Declan Fleming - declan at declan dot net<br /> * David Gonzalez - d.gonzalez26 at umiami dot edu<br /> * Jeff Peterson - gpeterso at umn dot edu<br /> * May Chan - msuicat at gmail dot com<br /> * Kathryn Stine - kathryn dot stine at ucop dot edu<br /> * Tim Thompson - t.thompson5{at}miami{dot}edu<br /> * Eben English - eenglish [at] bpl dot org<br /> * Marisa Strong - marisa dot strong at ucop dot edu<br /> * Michael Lindsey - mackeral at gmail dot com<br /> * Mike Hagedon - hagedonm at u dot library dot arizona dot edu<br /> * Scott Fisher - first/last name with dot in between at ucop dot edu<br /> * James Griffin - griffinj at lafayette dot edu<br /> * Jesse Brown - jfbrown78 at gmail dot com<br /> * [[User:gdave|Dave Green]] david dot L dot green at dartmouth dot edu<br /> * Michael Poltorak Nielsen mn at statsbiblioteket dot dk<br /> * Mads Villadsen, mv@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Jørn Thøgersen, jt@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Julien Gibert, gibert at abes dot fr<br /> * Lisa Gonzalez, lgonzalez@ctu.edu<br /> * Charles Ledvina, charles@indexdata.com<br /> * Jim LeFager, jlefager@depaul.edu<br /> * Debbie Maron, dmaron@purdue.edu<br /> * Carolina Garcia - cg116 nyu<br /> * Tracy Seneca- tjseneca@uic.edu<br /> * William Denton - wtd@pobox.com<br /> * Andrew Darby - agdarby at miami dot edu<br /> * Gary Maixner maixner2 at uiuc dot edu<br /> * Jeremy Prevost<br /> * Esther Verreau everreau skokielibrary info<br /> * Matthew Short, mshort@niu.edu<br /> * Kate Flynn, kef@uic.edu<br /> * Jon Stroop - jstroop at princeton<br /> * Mark Redar<br /> * Robert Haschart - rh9ec at virginia dot edu<br /> * Xiaoming Wang - xw5d at virginia dot edu<br /> * Graham Hukill - graham dot hukill at wayne edu<br /> * Susan Price<br /> * Virginia Schilling - virginia dot schilling at ucr dot edu<br /> * Bret Davidson<br /> * Jason Thomale - jason dot thomale at unt dot edu<br /> * Mike Stroming - m-stroming@northwestern.edu<br /> * Nathan Books, nateniu gmail<br /> <br /> ==Half Day Afternoon==<br /> === Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br /> ====1-470 Richard J.

It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&amp;A around local issues people might encounter. <br /> <br /> Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * John MacGillivray<br /> * Jon Stroop<br /> * Jeremy Morse - jgmorse at umich<br /> * Karen Miller - k-miller3{at}northwestern{dot}edu<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen - tommying{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Chung Kang<br /> * Santi Thompson<br /> * Brandon Dudley<br /> * Ken Irwin<br /> * Hillel Arnold<br /> * Heidi Frank - hf36{at}nyu{dot}com<br /> * Chris Sharp - csharp{at}georgialibraries{dot}org<br /> * Bill McMillin - wmcmilli{at} pratt{dot} edu<br /> * Jason Raitz - jcraitz at ncsu dot edu<br /> * Linda Ballinger - ballingerl at newberry dot org<br /> * David Gonzalez - d.gonzalez26 at umiami dot edu<br /> * Courtney Greene - crgreene at indiana dot edu<br /> * Evan Boyd - eboyd /at/ ctschicago /period/ edu<br /> * Lauren Ajamie - lauren dot ajamie at nd dot edu<br /> * David Anderson - david dot anderson3 at nih dot gov<br /> * Michael Lindsey - mackeral at gmail dot com<br /> * David Bucknum - dabu at loc dot gov<br /> * Chris Day - cday2 at saic dot edu<br /> * Carolina Garcia - cg116 nyu<br /> * David Cliff dgcliff@iu.edu<br /> * Cody Hanson codyhanson@umn.edu<br /> * Sean Purcell seanpurc{at}uga{dot}edu<br /> * Laurie Lee Moses lmoses{at}colum{dot}edu<br /> * Alisak Sanavongsay asanavongsay{at}ucmerced.edu<br /> * Wayne Schneider wschneider at hclib dot org<br /> * Carolyn Caizzi carolyn{dot}caizzi{at}northwestern{dot}edu<br /> * Julie Rudder - j-rudder at northwestern dot edu<br /> * Andromeda Yelton - andromeda.yelton at gmail<br /> * Adam Strohm - adamstrohm at gmail dot com<br /> * Luke Gaudreau - luke underscore gaudreau at harvard dot edu<br /> * Cole Hudson - cole dot hudson at wayne dot edu<br /> <br /> === DPLA Intro/Hacking ===<br /> ====Seminar Room A of Richard J.

All API queries are returned as JSON-LD, a lightweight linked data format, and the metadata is freely reusable under a CC0 public domain license. A front-end portal is currently under development and will be launched in April 2013, though it will serve as but one way into the DPLA’s data. The DPLA encourages the development of applications and tools by developers of all skill levels and backgrounds. In this workshop, participants will actively code against the API to make apps, visualization tools, plug-ins, and other interesting tools that make use of DPLA data. <br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * First and last name, Affiliation<br /> * Justin Clark, Berkman Center for Internet and Society<br /> * Anita Patel, Berkman Center for Internet and Society<br /> * Peter Murray, LYRASIS<br /> * Christine McClure, Illinois Institute of Technology<br /> * Richard Aroksaar, National Park Service<br /> * Maura Byrne, University of Chicago Library<br /> <br /> '''I plan on making:'''<br /> * App name (your name): app description<br /> <br /> === Fail4lib ===<br /> ====1-360 Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br /> * Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br /> <br /> The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans (&quot;The Pivot&quot;), and failing more cheaply.<br /> <br /> Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br /> <br /> # Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br /> # Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br /> #* Technical failure<br /> #* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br /> #* Overinvestment<br /> #* Outreach/Promotion failure<br /> #* Design/UX failure<br /> #* Project team communication failure<br /> #* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br /> #* Successes gleaned from failures<br /> # A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br /> # A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br /> <br /> I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Becky Yoose<br /> * Lisa Rabey<br /> * Cynthia Ng (maybe) - cynthia [dot] s [dot] ng [at] gmail<br /> * Patrick Berry, pberry@csuchico.edu<br /> * Erin White, erwhite at vcu edu<br /> * Ranti Junus, ranti.junus at gmail<br /> * Rosalyn Metz -- rosalynmetz at gmail com<br /> * Bret Davidson<br /> <br /> === Solr 4 In Depth ===<br /> ====UIC Forum, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)<br /> <br /> The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released!

Daley Library, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Joshua Gomez, George Washington University, jngomez at gwu edu<br /> <br /> Since Google published its paper on BigTable in 2006, alternatives to the traditional relational database model have been growing in both variety and popularity. These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called &quot;Big Data&quot; problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB or CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Esha Datta<br /> * Trevor Thornton<br /> * Michael Doran<br /> * Ray Schwartz - schwartzr2@wpunj.edu<br /> * Kevin Clarke<br /> * Andreas Orphanides<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen - tommying{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Harrison Dekker<br /> * Eric James eric dot james at yale dot edu<br /> * Sean Crowe - sean.crowe@uc.edu<br /> * Scott Hanrath - shanrath@ku.edu<br /> * Erin Fahy - erin.fahy at mtholyoke edu<br /> * Karen Coyle - kcoyle at kcoyle.net<br /> * Charles Draper<br /> * David Uspal<br /> * Shawn Kiewel - smkiewel at uga dot edu<br /> * Stephanie Collett - stephanie dot collett at ucop dot edu<br /> * Declan Fleming - declan at declan dot net<br /> * David Gonzalez - d.gonzalez26 at umiami dot edu<br /> * Jeff Peterson - gpeterso at umn dot edu<br /> * May Chan - msuicat at gmail dot com<br /> * Kathryn Stine - kathryn dot stine at ucop dot edu<br /> * Tim Thompson - t.thompson5{at}miami{dot}edu<br /> * Eben English - eenglish [at] bpl dot org<br /> * Marisa Strong - marisa dot strong at ucop dot edu<br /> * Michael Lindsey - mackeral at gmail dot com<br /> * Mike Hagedon - hagedonm at u dot library dot arizona dot edu<br /> * Scott Fisher - first/last name with dot in between at ucop dot edu<br /> * James Griffin - griffinj at lafayette dot edu<br /> * Jesse Brown - jfbrown78 at gmail dot com<br /> * [[User:gdave|Dave Green]] david dot L dot green at dartmouth dot edu<br /> * Michael Poltorak Nielsen mn at statsbiblioteket dot dk<br /> * Mads Villadsen, mv@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Jørn Thøgersen, jt@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Julien Gibert, gibert at abes dot fr<br /> * Lisa Gonzalez, lgonzalez@ctu.edu<br /> * Charles Ledvina, charles@indexdata.com<br /> * Jim LeFager, jlefager@depaul.edu<br /> * Debbie Maron, dmaron@purdue.edu<br /> * Carolina Garcia - cg116 nyu<br /> * Tracy Seneca- tjseneca@uic.edu<br /> * William Denton - wtd@pobox.com<br /> * Andrew Darby - agdarby at miami dot edu<br /> * Gary Maixner maixner2 at uiuc dot edu<br /> * Jeremy Prevost<br /> * Esther Verreau everreau skokielibrary info<br /> * Matthew Short, mshort@niu.edu<br /> * Kate Flynn, kef@uic.edu<br /> * Jon Stroop - jstroop at princeton<br /> * Mark Redar<br /> * Robert Haschart - rh9ec at virginia dot edu<br /> * Xiaoming Wang - xw5d at virginia dot edu<br /> * Graham Hukill - graham dot hukill at wayne edu<br /> * Susan Price<br /> * Virginia Schilling - virginia dot schilling at ucr dot edu<br /> * Bret Davidson<br /> * Jason Thomale - jason dot thomale at unt dot edu<br /> * Mike Stroming - m-stroming@northwestern.edu<br /> * Nathan Books, nateniu gmail<br /> <br /> ==Half Day Afternoon==<br /> === Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br /> ====1-470 Richard J.

Interested in data visualization? Well, this hackfest is for you. Not familiar with the concept of a hackfest?

We propose a half-day hackfest with a focus on visualization library data -- think stuff like library catalog data, access/circulation statistics, etc. Here's how it works, roughly: <br /> - we'll (you'll!) do lightning tutorials for some data visualization tools, toolkits (R? d3js? ?), datasets.<br /> - we'll separate into groups and hack on stuff.<br /> - at the end of the day, we'll present our progress.<br /> <br /> Not a code hacker? No worries; all skill sets and backgrounds are valuable! <br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> # Devon Smith<br /> # Esha Datta<br /> # Ray Schwartz - schwartzr2@wpunj.edu<br /> # Karen Coombs - coombsk{at}oclc{dot}org<br /> # Julia Bauder - julia{dot}bauder{at}gmail{dot}com<br /> # Jason Stirnaman (jstirnaman at kumc.edu)<br /> # Joshua Gomez<br /> # Ayla Stein (astein at uh.edu)<br /> # Harrison Dekker<br /> # Ian Walls - iwalls{at}library{dot}umass{dot}edu<br /> # Scott Hanrath - shanrath@ku.edu<br /> # Annie Pho<br /> # [[User:Kevenj|Keven Jeffery]]<br /> # James Van Mil - james.vanmil at gmail com<br /> # Sean Crowe - sean.crowe@uc.edu<br /> # Karen coyle - kcoyle at kcoyle.net<br /> # David Lacy - david dot lacy at villanova dot edu<br /> # mark matienzo<br /> # David Uspal<br /> # Emily Lynema - ejlynema at ncsu dot edu<br /> # Sean Chen<br /> # Donald Mennerich<br /> # Allan Berry - allan{dot}berry{at}gmail{dot}com<br /> # Declan Fleming - declan at declan dot net<br /> # Chick Markley -- chick at qrhino dot com<br /> # Devin Higgins - higgi135 at msu dot edu<br /> # Emily Zervas emily{dot}zervas{at}gmail{dot}com<br /> # May Chan -- msuicat at gmail dot com<br /> # Kathryn Stine - kathryn dot stine at ucop dot edu<br /> # James Griffin - griffinj at lafayette dot edu<br /> # Dave Menninger dave.menninger at gmail dot com<br /> # [[User:gdave|Dave Green]] david dot L dot green at dartmouth dot edu<br /> # Rikke Willer - riwi at dtic dot dtu dot dk<br /> # Michael Poltorak NIelsen mn at statsbiblioteket dot dk<br /> # Mads Villadsen, mv@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> # Jørn Thøgersen, jt@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> # Joe Atzberger, ohiocore@gmail.com<br /> # Julien Gibert, gibert at abes dot fr<br /> # Christie Peterson - cpeterson at jhu dot edu<br /> # Jim LeFager - jlefager@depaul.edu<br /> # Harish Nayak - hnayak at library dot rochester dot edu<br /> # William Denton - wtd@pobox.com<br /> # Shawn Carraway carraways at midlandstech dot edu<br /> # Naomi Dushay - ndushay at stanford dot edu<br /> # William Hicks - William{dot}hicks{at}unt{dot}edu<br /> # Beatrice Pulliam bpulliam at providence edu<br /> # Matthew Short, mshort@niu.edu<br /> # George Campbell, campbelg{at}oclc{dot}org<br /> # James Staub - james dot staub at nashville dot gov<br /> # Will Clarke - wfu dot edu at clarkewd<br /> # Rachel Shaevel - rshaevel at chipublib dot org<br /> <br /> === Intro to Hydra ===<br /> ====303 Library of the Health Sciences, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Adam Wead, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (awead at rockhall.org)<br /> * Justin Coyne, Data Curation Experts (justin.coyne at curationexperts.com)<br /> * Mark Bussey, Data Curation Experts (mark at curationexperts.com)<br /> <br /> Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is a free and open source repository solution that is being used by institutions on both sides of the North Atlantic to provide access to their digital content. Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Leveraging Blacklight as its front end discovery interface, the hydra project provides a suite of software components, data models, and design patterns for building a robust and sustainable digital repository, as well as a community of support for ongoing development. This workshop will provide an introduction to the hydra project and its software components. Attendees will leave with enough knowledge to get started building their own local repository solutions. This workshop will be led by Adam Wead of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. <br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Jeremy Prevost<br /> * Dennis Ogg - ogg{at}ucar{dot}edu<br /> * Terry Brady<br /> * Betsy Coles - bcoles{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Brendan Quinn - brendan-quinn at northwestern dot edu<br /> * Shawn Kiewel - smkiewel at uga dot edu<br /> * Steven Villereal – villereal{at}gmail{dot}com<br /> * Ryan Eby<br /> * Dean Farrell<br /> * Ian Chan<br /> * Mark Mounts - mark{dot}mounts{at}dartmouth{dot}edu<br /> * Carl Jones<br /> * Laney McGlohon - lmcglohon@getty.edu<br /> * Nancy Enneking - nenneking@getty.edu<br /> * Allan Berry - allan{dot}berry{at}gmail{dot}com<br /> * Andrew Darby - agdarby at miami dot edu<br /> * Kåre Fiedler Christiansen - kfc@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Corey Harper - corey dot harper at nyu dot edu<br /> * Gary Maixner - maixner2 at uiuc dot edu<br /> * Sibyl Schaefer - sibylschaefer at gmail dot com<br /> * Emily F.

It is used by institutions such as Stanford University, NC State, WGBH, Johns Hopkins University, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and an ever expanding community of adopters and contributors. Blacklight can be used as a front-end discovery solution for an ILS, or the contents of a digital repository, or to provide a unified discovery solution for many siloed collections. In this workshop we will cover the basics of solr indexing and searching, setting up and customizing Blacklight, and leave time for Q&amp;A around local issues people might encounter. <br /> <br /> Note: this workshop will be tailored as a follow-on to the morning's RailsBridge Intro to Ruby on Rails workshop, but everyone is welcome<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * John MacGillivray<br /> * Jon Stroop<br /> * Jeremy Morse - jgmorse at umich<br /> * Karen Miller - k-miller3{at}northwestern{dot}edu<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen - tommying{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Chung Kang<br /> * Santi Thompson<br /> * Brandon Dudley<br /> * Ken Irwin<br /> * Hillel Arnold<br /> * Heidi Frank - hf36{at}nyu{dot}com<br /> * Chris Sharp - csharp{at}georgialibraries{dot}org<br /> * Bill McMillin - wmcmilli{at} pratt{dot} edu<br /> * Jason Raitz - jcraitz at ncsu dot edu<br /> * Linda Ballinger - ballingerl at newberry dot org<br /> * David Gonzalez - d.gonzalez26 at umiami dot edu<br /> * Courtney Greene - crgreene at indiana dot edu<br /> * Evan Boyd - eboyd /at/ ctschicago /period/ edu<br /> * Lauren Ajamie - lauren dot ajamie at nd dot edu<br /> * David Anderson - david dot anderson3 at nih dot gov<br /> * Michael Lindsey - mackeral at gmail dot com<br /> * David Bucknum - dabu at loc dot gov<br /> * Chris Day - cday2 at saic dot edu<br /> * Carolina Garcia - cg116 nyu<br /> * David Cliff dgcliff@iu.edu<br /> * Cody Hanson codyhanson@umn.edu<br /> * Sean Purcell seanpurc{at}uga{dot}edu<br /> * Laurie Lee Moses lmoses{at}colum{dot}edu<br /> * Alisak Sanavongsay asanavongsay{at}ucmerced.edu<br /> * Wayne Schneider wschneider at hclib dot org<br /> * Carolyn Caizzi carolyn{dot}caizzi{at}northwestern{dot}edu<br /> * Julie Rudder - j-rudder at northwestern dot edu<br /> * Andromeda Yelton - andromeda.yelton at gmail<br /> * Adam Strohm - adamstrohm at gmail dot com<br /> * Luke Gaudreau - luke underscore gaudreau at harvard dot edu<br /> * Cole Hudson - cole dot hudson at wayne dot edu<br /> <br /> === DPLA Intro/Hacking ===<br /> ====Seminar Room A of Richard J.

All API queries are returned as JSON-LD, a lightweight linked data format, and the metadata is freely reusable under a CC0 public domain license. A front-end portal is currently under development and will be launched in April 2013, though it will serve as but one way into the DPLA’s data. The DPLA encourages the development of applications and tools by developers of all skill levels and backgrounds. In this workshop, participants will actively code against the API to make apps, visualization tools, plug-ins, and other interesting tools that make use of DPLA data. <br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * First and last name, Affiliation<br /> * Justin Clark, Berkman Center for Internet and Society<br /> * Anita Patel, Berkman Center for Internet and Society<br /> * Peter Murray, LYRASIS<br /> * Christine McClure, Illinois Institute of Technology<br /> * Richard Aroksaar, National Park Service<br /> * Maura Byrne, University of Chicago Library<br /> <br /> '''I plan on making:'''<br /> * App name (your name): app description<br /> <br /> === Fail4lib ===<br /> ====1-360 Richard J. Daley Library, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br /> * Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br /> <br /> The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans (&quot;The Pivot&quot;), and failing more cheaply.<br /> <br /> Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br /> <br /> # Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br /> # Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br /> #* Technical failure<br /> #* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br /> #* Overinvestment<br /> #* Outreach/Promotion failure<br /> #* Design/UX failure<br /> #* Project team communication failure<br /> #* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br /> #* Successes gleaned from failures<br /> # A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br /> # A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br /> <br /> I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers. I am happy to be outvoted by participants on any of these points--I just want to get us talking about our screw-ups, blind spots, and anvils dropping from the sky.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Becky Yoose<br /> * Lisa Rabey<br /> * Cynthia Ng (maybe) - cynthia [dot] s [dot] ng [at] gmail<br /> * Patrick Berry, pberry@csuchico.edu<br /> * Erin White, erwhite at vcu edu<br /> * Ranti Junus, ranti.junus at gmail<br /> * Rosalyn Metz -- rosalynmetz at gmail com<br /> * Bret Davidson<br /> <br /> === Solr 4 In Depth ===<br /> ====UIC Forum, 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on Monday, February 11====<br /> * Contact: Erik Hatcher (erik.hatcher at lucidworks.com)<br /> <br /> The long awaited and much anticipated Solr 4 has been released!

These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called &quot;Big Data&quot; problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB, and Neo4j.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Esha Datta<br /> * Trevor Thornton<br /> * Michael Doran<br /> * Ray Schwartz - schwartzr2@wpunj.edu<br /> * Kevin Clarke<br /> * Andreas Orphanides<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen - tommying{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Harrison Dekker<br /> * Eric James eric dot james at yale dot edu<br /> * Sean Crowe - sean.crowe@uc.edu<br /> * Scott Hanrath<br /> * Erin Fahy - erin.fahy at mtholyoke edu<br /> * Karen Coyle - kcoyle at kcoyle.net<br /> * Charles Draper<br /> * David Uspal<br /> * Shawn Kiewel - smkiewel at uga dot edu<br /> * Stephanie Collett - stephanie dot collett at ucop dot edu<br /> * Declan Fleming - declan at declan dot net<br /> * David Gonzalez - d.gonzalez26 at umiami dot edu<br /> * Jeff Peterson - gpeterso at umn dot edu<br /> * May Chan - msuicat at gmail dot com<br /> * Kathryn Stine - kathryn dot stine at ucop dot edu<br /> * Tim Thompson - t.thompson5{at}miami{dot}edu<br /> * Eben English - eenglish [at] bpl dot org<br /> * Marisa Strong - marisa dot strong at ucop dot edu<br /> * Michael Lindsey - mackeral at gmail dot com<br /> * Mike Hagedon - hagedonm at u dot library dot arizona dot edu<br /> * Scott Fisher - first/last name with dot in between at ucop dot edu<br /> * James Griffin - griffinj at lafayette dot edu<br /> * Jesse Brown - jfbrown78 at gmail dot com<br /> * [[User:gdave|Dave Green]] david dot L dot green at dartmouth dot edu<br /> * Michael Poltorak Nielsen mn at statsbiblioteket dot dk<br /> * Mads Villadsen, mv@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Jørn Thøgersen, jt@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Julien Gibert, gibert at abes dot fr<br /> * Lisa Gonzalez, lgonzalez@ctu.edu<br /> * Charles Ledvina, charles@indexdata.com<br /> * Jim LeFager, jlefager@depaul.edu<br /> * Debbie Maron, dmaron@purdue.edu<br /> * Carolina Garcia - cg116 nyu<br /> * Tracy Seneca- tjseneca@uic.edu<br /> * William Denton - wtd@pobox.com<br /> * Andrew Darby - agdarby at miami dot edu<br /> * Gary Maixner maixner2 at uiuc dot edu<br /> * Jeremy Prevost<br /> <br /> ==Half Day Afternoon==<br /> === Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br /> * Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br /> * Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br /> <br /> * Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating?

All API queries are returned as JSON-LD, a lightweight linked data format, and the metadata is freely reusable under a CC0 public domain license. A front-end portal is currently under development and will be launched in April 2013, though it will serve as but one way into the DPLA’s data. The DPLA encourages the development of applications and tools by developers of all skill levels and backgrounds. In this workshop, participants will actively code against the API to make apps, visualization tools, plug-ins, and other interesting tools that make use of DPLA data. <br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * First and last name, Affiliation<br /> * Justin Clark, Berkman Center for Internet and Society<br /> * Anita Patel, Berkman Center for Internet and Society<br /> * Peter Murray, LYRASIS<br /> <br /> '''I plan on making:'''<br /> * App name (your name): app description<br /> <br /> === Fail4lib ===<br /> * Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries (jmcasden at ncsu.edu)<br /> * Andreas Orphanides, NCSU Libraries (akorphan at ncsu.edu)<br /> <br /> The Code4lib community is full of driven people who embrace the risks that are often associated with new projects. While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term). Learning more about how our colleagues deal with failure in various contexts could lead to the development of better methods for communicating the value of productive failure, modifying project plans (&quot;The Pivot&quot;), and failing more cheaply.<br /> <br /> Hopefully we can define the format as a group, but a fairly high level of participation is crucial if this is to be a worthwhile preconference. Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br /> <br /> # Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br /> # Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br /> #* Technical failure<br /> #* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br /> #* Overinvestment<br /> #* Outreach/Promotion failure<br /> #* Design/UX failure<br /> #* Project team communication failure<br /> #* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br /> #* Successes gleaned from failures<br /> # A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br /> # A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br /> <br /> I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers.

These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called &quot;Big Data&quot; problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, MongoDB, and Neo4j.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Esha Datta<br /> * Trevor Thornton<br /> * Michael Doran<br /> * Ray Schwartz - schwartzr2@wpunj.edu<br /> * Kevin Clarke<br /> * Andreas Orphanides<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen - tommying{at}caltech{dot}edu<br /> * Harrison Dekker<br /> * Eric James eric dot james at yale dot edu<br /> * Sean Crowe - sean.crowe@uc.edu<br /> * Scott Hanrath<br /> * Erin Fahy - erin.fahy at mtholyoke edu<br /> * Karen Coyle - kcoyle at kcoyle.net<br /> * Charles Draper<br /> * David Uspal<br /> * Shawn Kiewel - smkiewel at uga dot edu<br /> * Stephanie Collett - stephanie dot collett at ucop dot edu<br /> * Declan Fleming - declan at declan dot net<br /> * David Gonzalez - d.gonzalez26 at umiami dot edu<br /> * Jeff Peterson - gpeterso at umn dot edu<br /> * May Chan - msuicat at gmail dot com<br /> * Kathryn Stine - kathryn dot stine at ucop dot edu<br /> * Tim Thompson - t.thompson5{at}miami{dot}edu<br /> * Eben English - eenglish [at] bpl dot org<br /> * Marisa Strong - marisa dot strong at ucop dot edu<br /> * Michael Lindsey - mackeral at gmail dot com<br /> * Mike Hagedon - hagedonm at u dot library dot arizona dot edu<br /> * Scott Fisher - first/last name with dot in between at ucop dot edu<br /> * James Griffin - griffinj at lafayette dot edu<br /> * Jesse Brown - jfbrown78 at gmail dot com<br /> * [[User:gdave|Dave Green]] david dot L dot green at dartmouth dot edu<br /> * Michael Poltorak Nielsen mn at statsbiblioteket dot dk<br /> * Mads Villadsen, mv@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Jørn Thøgersen, jt@statsbiblioteket.dk<br /> * Julien Gibert, gibert at abes dot fr<br /> * Lisa Gonzalez, lgonzalez@ctu.edu<br /> * Charles Ledvina, charles@indexdata.com<br /> * Jim LeFager, jlefager@depaul.edu<br /> * Debbie Maron, dmaron@purdue.edu<br /> * Carolina Garcia - cg116 nyu<br /> * Tracy Seneca- tjseneca@uic.edu<br /> * William Denton - wtd@pobox.com<br /> * Andrew Darby - agdarby at miami dot edu<br /> * Gary Maixner maixner2 at uiuc dot edu<br /> * Jeremy Prevost<br /> <br /> ==Half Day Afternoon==<br /> === Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br /> * Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br /> * Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br /> <br /> * Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating?

While these traits lead to the incredible projects that are presented at Code4lib, creative technical work also often leads to unexpected, vexing, or disappointing results even from eventually successful projects (however you define the term).

Some possible agenda items that could be mixed and matched to fill the afternoon:<br /> <br /> # Given willing presenters, a series of 10-20 minute presentations that go into some depth about specific failures.<br /> # Depending on the number of participants, either a multi- or single-track series of unconference-like themed discussions on various aspects of failure, possibly including themes like:<br /> #* Technical failure<br /> #* Failure to effectively address a real user need<br /> #* Overinvestment<br /> #* Outreach/Promotion failure<br /> #* Design/UX failure<br /> #* Project team communication failure<br /> #* Missed opportunities (risk-averse failure)<br /> #* Successes gleaned from failures<br /> # A panel of participants who have prepared in advance to answer moderator and audience questions about their experience with failure.<br /> # A prepared reading assignment that we could all forget to read, creating a shared fail in order to start the preconference on the right foot.<br /> <br /> I'll serve as a moderator (if needed) and participant and would welcome more organizers.

List your name if you're interested, whether Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday (after newcomer dinners) work, and whether you're just interested in stopping by, or doing a 7 cocktail tasting flight.*<br /> ** statsfool: sunday/monday/tuesday, either drinks or flight.<br /> ** Amyhannah: monday/tuesday, drinks, probably not the flight.<br /> ** anarchivist: sunday/monday, prefer drinks over flight but could be convinced<br /> ** [[User:highermath|highermath]]: monday (could use 10 cocktails after Drupal subCon, I am sure). Uber now works in Chicago, so I would do the flight.<br /> ** [[User:pberry|pberry]]: any night but Wednesday (that's Goose Island night) and I'd be up for drinks or flight, although leaning away from flight.<br /> ** [[User:thatandromeda|thatandromeda]] oh my gosh yes, any time, probably not the flight.<br /> ** [[User:Gdave|gdave]] beautiful site, I would be interested, Sun,Mon,Tues. either drink or flight.<br /> ** scollett: sun/mon/tue, drinks, maybe flight.

Type of games might vary due to interest, could range from party games like Werewolf, Wits &amp; Wagers, Telestrations, Taboo, Apples to Apples to perhaps more strategic games like De Vulgari Eloquentia or Eclipse. Jon Gorman is willing to bring some games, are you? Jon will try to send out an email soon to get some interest.<br /> ** yo_bj: I have some games I can bring as well (Kill Doctor Lucky, Fluxx, Godzilla: Stomp, Munchkin Zombies, etc.). Monday doesn't have anything major planned...<br /> **danwho: I 'll bring the Cards Against Humanity set.<br /> **escowles (Mon/Tue preferred): I've got lots of games I could bring like Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Age of Renaissance, Elfenland, Agricola, Le Havre, Smallworld, RoboRally, etc. etc.<br /> **jen_young: I'm local and I have quite a few games. Just about every version of Fluxx, Bananagrams, Gloom, Munchkin Cthulu,Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Risk, Last Night on Earth, etc.)<br /> ** decasm: Interested in Go (aka igo, weiqi, baduk) anytime, not just game night. I can do Catan as well. (And as much as I love it, Cards Against Humanity is probably a violation of the new Code of Conduct.)<br /> ** csharp: I'm interested in playing games - whatever people bring. I almost always travel with a pack or two of playing cards ;-). Monday or Tuesday nights are fine.<br /> ** moneill: I would love to join in! I have a version of Catchphrase floating around somewhere, and I think I have Battleship...I need to go weed around in that drawer and see what else presents itself. Tuesday would be my preferred night, but I will make it work!<br /> ** demiankatz: I'm always up for a game. I'm hoping to travel light so probably shouldn't bring anything, but if there's a local game shop, I might be persuaded to pick up something new as a souvenir.<br /> ** sekjal: I've got [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion Dominion], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/68448/7-wonders 7 Wonders], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30933/bang-the-bullet Bang!], [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18333/ecofluxx EcoFluxx] and [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116/guillotine Guillotine] that I can bring. ++ on Cards against Humanity! Prefer non-conflict with beer night.<br /> ** arty: so totally interested. Unfortunately, I have no games to contribute.<br /> ** sanderson: I would be interested. I can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/478/citadels Citadels] (2-7 players)<br /> ** dvdndrsn: Definitely in! Can bring Innovation, Tichu, Dominion, but Cards Against Humanity sounds good. <br /> ** smkiewel: I'm likely to join. Can bring Arkham Horror and Munchkin.<br /> ** jkwilson: I'd like to attend Monday or Tuesday. I have a bunch of games but I'd prefer not to travel with them, and anyway it sounds like they're covered above. I'll bring the 5-6 player Catan extension.<br /> ** ejlynema: Interested, but will probably attend Newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Like Dominion and 7 Wonders, but probably don't have room to bring in suitcase. Anyone bringing Tsuro?<br /> ** save4use: Also interested, but also probably attending newcomer dinner on Tuesday. Can bring [http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/11/bohnanza Bohnanza] and one deck of {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_%28game%29 Set]. <br /> <br /> * Brewery tour - some possible candidates would be Goose Island, Brew Bus http://www.chicagobrewbus.com/, Piece, Revolution, Half Acre.<br /> * Library field trips - because we're library geeks. Possible places include Newberry and Read/Write.--Read/Write Library confirmed for February 12.--Newberry Library confirmed for February 14.<br /> * Art Institute of Chicago - Only open until 5pm, but possible for people coming in early enough on Sunday.<br /> ** escowles: I'm getting in around noon on Sunday, and interested in this.<br /> <br /> == Planned Events ==<br /> <br /> === Newcomer Dinner, Tuesday 2/12 ===<br /> <br /> First time at code4lib?

These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called &quot;Big Data&quot; problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * Erin Fahy<br /> * Esha Datta<br /> * Trevor Thornton<br /> * Michael Doran<br /> * Ray Schwartz<br /> * Kevin Clarke<br /> * Andreas Orphanides<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen<br /> * Harrison Dekker<br /> * Eric James<br /> * Sean Crowe<br /> * Scott Hanrath<br /> * Karen Coyle<br /> * Charles Draper<br /> <br /> ==Half Day Afternoon==<br /> === Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br /> * Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br /> * Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br /> <br /> * Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating?

These new databases (often referred to as NoSQL databases) excel at handling problems faced by modern information systems that the traditional relational model cannot. They are particularly popular among organizations tackling the so-called &quot;Big Data&quot; problems. However, there are always tradeoffs involved when making such dramatic changes. Understanding how these different kinds of databases are designed and what they can offer is essential to the decision making process. In this precon I will discuss some of the various types of new databases (key-value, columnar, document, graph) and walk through examples or exercises using some of their open source implementations like Riak, HBase, CouchDB, and Neo4j.<br /> <br /> '''I plan on attending:'''<br /> * First and last name<br /> * Esha Datta<br /> * Trevor Thornton<br /> * Michael Doran<br /> * Ray Schwartz<br /> * Kevin Clarke<br /> * Andreas Orphanides<br /> * Tommy Ingulfsen<br /> <br /> ==Half Day Afternoon==<br /> === Data Visualization Hackfest ===<br /> * Chris Beer, cabeer at stanford.edu<br /> * Dan Chudnov, dchud at gwu edu<br /> <br /> * Description: Want to hack/design/plan/document on a team of people who enjoy learning by creating?

<p>Lbjay: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Deadline has been extended by request due to the hurricane/storm.'''<br /> <br /> Deadline for talk submission is ''Friday, November 9'' at 11:59pm ET. We ask that no changes be made after this point, so that every voter reads the same thing. You can update your description again after voting closes.<br /> <br /> Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and focus on one or more of the following areas:<br /> * tools (some cool new software, software library or integration platform)<br /> * specs (how to get the most out of some protocols, or proposals for new ones)<br /> * challenges (one or more big problems we should collectively address)<br /> <br /> The community will vote on proposals using the criteria of:<br /> * usefulness<br /> * newness<br /> * geekiness<br /> * uniqueness<br /> * awesomeness<br /> <br /> Please follow the formatting guidelines:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> == Talk Title ==<br /> <br /> * Speaker's name, affiliation, and email address<br /> * Second speaker's name, affiliation, email address, if applicable<br /> <br /> Abstract of no more than 500 words.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == All Teh Metadatas Re-Revisited ==<br /> <br /> * Esme Cowles, UC San Diego Library, escowles AT ucsd DOT edu<br /> * Matt Critchlow, UC San Diego Library, mcritchlow AT ucsd DOT edu<br /> * Bradley Westbrook, UC San Diego Library, bdwestbrook AT ucsd DOT edu<br /> <br /> Last year Declan Fleming presented ALL TEH METADATAS and reviewed our UC<br /> San Diego Library Digital Asset Management system and RDF data model. You<br /> may be shocked to hear that all that metadata wasn't quite enough to<br /> handle increasingly complex digital library and research data in an<br /> elegant way. Our ad-hoc, 8-year-old data model has also been added to in<br /> inconsistent ways and our librarians and developers have not always been<br /> perfectly in sync in understanding how the data model has evolved over<br /> time.<br /> <br /> <br /> In this presentation we'll review our process of locking a team of<br /> librarians and developers in a room to figure out a new data model, from<br /> domain definition through building and testing an OWL ontology. We¹ll also<br /> cover the challenges we ran into, including the review of existing<br /> controlled vocabularies and ontologies, or lack thereof, and the decisions<br /> made to cover the gaps. Finally, we'll discuss how we engaged the digital<br /> library community for feedback and what we have to do next. We all know<br /> that Things Fall Apart, this is our attempt at Doing Better This Time.<br /> <br /> == Modernizing VuFind with Zend Framework 2 ==<br /> <br /> * Demian Katz, Villanova University, demian DOT katz AT villanova DOT edu<br /> <br /> When setting goals for a new major release of VuFind, use of an existing web framework was an important decision to encourage standardization and avoid reinvention of the wheel. Zend Framework 2 was selected as providing the best balance between the cutting-edge (ZF2 was released in 2012) and stability (ZF1 has a long history and many adopters). This talk will examine some of the architecture and features of the new framework and discuss how it has been used to improve the VuFind project.<br /> <br /> == Did You Really Say That Out Loud? Tools and Techniques for Safe Public WiFi Computing ==<br /> <br /> * [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org<br /> <br /> Public WiFi networks, even those that have passwords, are nothing more that an old-time [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_(telephony) party line]: what every you say can be easily heard by anyone nearby. <br /> Remember [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep Firesheep]? <br /> It was an extension to Firefox that demonstrated how easy it was to snag session cookies and impersonate someone else.<br /> So what are you sending out over the airwaves, and what techniques are available to prevent eavesdropping?<br /> This talk will demonstrate tools and techniques for desktop and mobile operating systems that you should be using right now -- right here at Code4Lib -- to protect your data and your network activity.<br /> <br /> == Drupal 8 Preview — Symfony and Twig ==<br /> <br /> * [[User:Highermath|Cary Gordon]], The Cherry Hill Company, cgordon@chillco.com<br /> <br /> Drupal is a great platform for building web applications. Last year, the core developers decided to adopt the Symfony PHP framework, because it would lay the groundwork for the modernization (and de-PHP4ification) of the Drupal codebase. As I write this, the Symfony ClassLoader and HttpFoundation libraries are committed to Drupal core, with more elements likely before Drupal 8 code freeze.<br /> <br /> It seems almost certain that the Twig templating engine will supplant PHPtemplate as the core Drupal template engine. Twig is a powerful, secure theme building tool that removes PHP from the templating system, the result being a very concise and powerful theme layer.<br /> <br /> Symfony and Twig have a common creator, Fabien Potencier, who's overall goal is to rid the world of the excesses of PHP 4.<br /> <br /> == Neat! But How Do We Do It? - The Real-world Problem of Digitizing Complex Corporate Digital Objects ==<br /> <br /> * Matthew Mariner, University of Colorado Denver, Auraria Library, matthew.mariner@ucdenver.edu<br /> <br /> Isn't it neat when you discover that you are the steward of dozens of Sanborn Fire Instance Maps, hundreds of issues of a city directory, and thousands of photographs of persons in either aforementioned medium? And it's even cooler when you decide, &quot;Let's digitize these together and make them one big awesome project to support public urban history&quot;? Unfortunately it's a far more difficult process than one imagines at inception and, sadly, doesn't always come to fruition. My goal here is to discuss the technological (and philosophical) problems librarians and archivists face when trying to create ultra-rich complex corporate digital projects, or, rather, projects consisting of at least three facets interrelated by theme. I intend to address these problems by suggesting management solutions, web workarounds, and, perhaps, a philosophy that might help in determining whether to even move forward or not. Expect a few case studies of &quot;grand ideas crushed by technological limitations&quot; and &quot;projects on the right track&quot; to follow. <br /> <br /> == ResCarta Tools building a standard format for audio archiving, discovery and display ==<br /> <br /> * [[User:sarney|John Sarnowski]], The ResCarta Foundation, john.sarnowski@rescarta.org<br /> <br /> The free ResCarta Toolkit has been used by libraries and archives around the world to host city directories, newspapers, and historic photographs and by aerospace companies to search and find millions of engineering documents. Now the ResCarta team has released audio additions to the toolkit. <br /> <br /> Create full text searchable oral histories, news stories, interviews. or build an archive of lectures; all done to Library of Congress standards. The included transcription editor allows for accurate correction of the data conversion tool’s output. Build true archives of text, photos and audio. A single audio file carries the embedded Axml metadata, transcription, and word location information. Checks with the FADGI BWF Metaedit.<br /> <br /> ResCarta-Web presents your audio to IE, Chome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera browsers with full playback and word search capability. Display format is OGG!! <br /> <br /> You have to see this tool in action. Twenty minutes from an audio file to transcribed, text-searchable website. Be there or be L seven (Yeah, I’m that old) <br /> <br /> == Format Designation in MARC Records: A Trip Down the Rabbit-Hole ==<br /> <br /> * Michael Doran, University of Texas at Arlington, doran@uta.edu<br /> <br /> This presentation will use a seemingly simple data point, the &quot;format&quot; of the item being described, to illustrate some of the complexities and challenges inherent in the parsing of MARC records. I will talk about abstract vs. concrete forms; format designation in the Leader, 006, 007, and 008 fixed fields as well as the 245 and 300 variable fields; pseudo-formats; what is mandatory vs. optional in respect to format designation in cataloging practice; and the differences between cataloging theory and practice as observed via format-related data mining of a mid-size academic library collection. <br /> <br /> I understand that most of us go to code4lib to hear about the latest sexy technologies. While MARC isn't sexy, many of the new tools being discussed still need to be populated with data gleaned from MARC records. MARC format designation has ramifications for search and retrieval, limits, and facets, both in the ILS and further downstream in next generation OPACs and web-scale discovery tools. Even veteran library coders will learn something from this session. <br /> <br /> == Touch Kiosk 2: Piezoelectric Boogaloo ==<br /> <br /> * Andreas Orphanides, North Carolina State University Libraries, akorphan@ncsu.edu<br /> <br /> At the NCSU Libraries, we provide realtime access to information on library spaces and services through an interactive touchscreen kiosk in our Learning Commons. In the summer of 2012, two years after its initial deployment, I redeveloped the kiosk application from the ground up, with an entirely new codebase and a completely redesigned user interface. The changes I implemented were designed to remedy previously identified shortcomings in the code and the interface design [1], and to enhance overall stability and performance of the application.<br /> <br /> In this presentation I will outline my revision process, highlighting the lessons I learned and the practices I implemented in the course of redevelopment. I will highlight the key features of the HTML/Javascript codebase that allow for increased stability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance; and identify the changes to the user interface that resulted from the usability findings I uncovered in my previous research. Finally, I will compare the usage patterns of the new interface to the analysis of the previous implementation to examine the practical effect of the implemented changes.<br /> <br /> I will also provide access to a genericized version of the interface code for others to build their own implementations of similar kiosk applications.<br /> <br /> [1] http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/5832<br /> <br /> == Wayfinding in a Cloud: Location Service for libraries ==<br /> <br /> * Petteri Kivimäki, The National Library of Finland, petteri.kivimaki@helsinki.fi<br /> <br /> Searching for books in large libraries can be a difficult task for a novice library user. This paper presents The Location Service, software as a service (SaaS) wayfinding application developed and managed by The National Library of Finland, which is targeted for all the libraries. The service provides additional information and map-based guidance to books and collections by showing their location on a map, and it can be integrated with any library management system, as the integration happens by adding a link to the service in the search interface. The service is being developed continuously based on the feedback received from the users.<br /> <br /> The service has two user interfaces: One for the customers and one for the library staff for managing the information related to the locations. The UI for the customers is fully customizable by the libraries, and the customization is done via template files by using the following techniques: HTML, CSS, and Javascript/jQuery. The service supports multiple languages, and the libraries have a full control of the languages, which they want to support in their environment.<br /> <br /> The service is written in Java and it uses Spring and Hibernate frameworks. The data is stored in PostgreSQL database, which is shared by all the libraries. They do not possess a direct access to the database, but the service offers an interface, which makes it possible to retrieve XML data over HTTP. Modification of the data via admin UI, however, is restricted, and access on the other libraries’ data is blocked.<br /> <br /> == Empowering Collection Owners with Automated Bulk Ingest Tools for DSpace ==<br /> <br /> * Terry Brady, Georgetown University, twb27@georgetown.edu<br /> <br /> The Georgetown University Library has developed a number of applications to expedite the process of ingesting content into DSpace.<br /> * Automatically inventory a collection of documents or images to be uploaded<br /> * Generate a spreadsheet for metadata capture based on the inventory<br /> * Generate item-level ingest folders, contents files and dublin core metadata for the items to be ingested<br /> * Validate the contents of ingest folders prior to initiating the ingest to DSpace<br /> * Present users with a simple, web-based form to initiate the batch ingest process<br /> <br /> The applications have eliminated a number of error-prone steps from the ingest workflow and have significantly reduced a number of tedious data editing steps. These applications have empowered content experts to be in charge of their own collections. <br /> <br /> In this presentation, I will provide a demonstration of the tools that were built and discuss the development process that was followed.<br /> <br /> == Quality Assurance Reports for DSpace Collections ==<br /> <br /> * Terry Brady, Georgetown University, twb27@georgetown.edu<br /> <br /> The Georgetown University Library has developed a collection of quality assurance reports to improve the consistency of the metadata in our DSpace collections. The report infrastructure permits the creation of query snippets to test for possible consistency errors within the repository such as items missing thumbnails, items with multiple thumbnails, items missing a creation date, items containing improperly formatted dates, items without duplicated metadata fields, items recently added items across the repository, a community or a collection<br /> <br /> These reports have served to prioritize programmatic data cleanup tasks and manual data cleanup tasks. The reports have served as a progress tracker for data cleanup work and will provide on-going monitoring of the metadata consistency of the repository.<br /> <br /> In this presentation, I will provide a demonstration of the tools that were built and discuss the development process that was followed.<br /> <br /> == A Hybrid Solution for Improving Single Sign-On to a Proxy Service with Squid and EZproxy through Shibboleth and ExLibris’ Aleph X-Server ==<br /> <br /> * Alexander Jerabek, UQAM - Université du Québec à Montréal, jerabek.alexander_j@uqam.ca<br /> * Minh-Quang Nguyen, UQAM - Université du Québec à Montréal, nguyen.minh-quang@uqam.ca<br /> <br /> In this talk, we will describe how we developed and implemented a hybrid solution for improving single sign-on in conjunction with the library’s proxy service. This hybrid solution consists of integrating the disparate elements of EZproxy, the Squid workflow, Shibboleth, and the Aleph X-Server. We will report how this new integrated service improves the user experience. To our knowledge, this new service is unique and has not been implemented anywhere else. We will also present some statistics after approximately one year in production.<br /> <br /> See article: http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7470<br /> <br /> == HTML5 Video Now! ==<br /> <br /> * Jason Ronallo, North Carolina State University Libraries, jnronall@ncsu.edu<br /> <br /> Can you use HTML5 video now? Yes.<br /> <br /> I'll show you how to get started using HTML5 video, including gotchas, tips, and tricks. Beyond the basics we'll see the power of having video integrated into HTML and the browser. Finally, we'll look at examples that push the limits and show the exciting future of video on the Web.<br /> <br /> My experience comes from technical development of an oral history video clips project. I developed the technical aspects of the project, including video processing, server configuration, development of a public site, creation of an administrative interface, and video engagement analytics. Major portions of this work have been open sourced under an MIT license.<br /> <br /> == Hybrid Archival Collections Using Blacklight and Hydra ==<br /> <br /> * Adam Wead, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, awead@rockhall.org<br /> <br /> At the Library and Archives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we use available tools such as Archivists' Toolkit to create EAD finding aids of our collections. However, managing digital content created from these materials and the born-digital content that is also part of these collections represents a significant challenge. In my presentation, I will discuss how we solve the problem of our hybrid collections by using Hydra as a digital asset manager and Blacklight as a unified presentation and discovery interface for all our materials.<br /> <br /> Our strategy centers around indexing ead xml into Solr as multiple documents: one for each collection, and one for every series, sub-series and item contained within a collection. For discovery, we use this strategy to leverage item-level searching of archival collections alongside our traditional library content. For digital collections, we use this same technique to represent a finding aid in Hydra as a set of linked objects using RDF. New digital items are then linked to these parent objects at the collection and series level. Once this is done, the items can be exported back out to the Blacklight solr index and the digital content appears along with the rest of the items in the collection.<br /> <br /> == Making the Web Accessible through Solid Design ==<br /> <br /> * [[User:Cynthia|Cynthia Ng]] from Ryerson University Library &amp; Archives<br /> <br /> In libraries, we are always trying our best to be accessible to everyone and we make every effort to do so physically, but what about our websites? Web designers are great at talking about the user experience and how to improve it, but what sometimes gets overlooked is how to make a site more accessible and meet accessibility guidelines. While guidelines are necessary to cover a minimum standard, web accessibility should come from good web design without ‘sacrificing’ features. While it's difficult to make a website fully accessible to everyone, there are easy, practical ways to make a site as accessible as possible.<br /> <br /> While the focus will be on websites and meeting the Web Accessibility Guidelines WCAG, the presentation will also touch on how to make custom web interfaces accessible.<br /> <br /> == Getting People to What They Need Fast! A Wayfinding Tool to Locate Books &amp; Much More ==<br /> <br /> * Steven Marsden, Ryerson University Library &amp; Archives, steven dot marsden at ryerson dot ca<br /> * [[User:Cynthia|Cynthia Ng]], Ryerson University Library &amp; Archives<br /> <br /> Having a bewildered, lost user in the building or stacks is a common occurrence, but we can help our users find their way through enhanced maps and floor plans. While not a new concept, these maps are integrated into the user’s flow of information without having to load a special app. The map not only highlights the location, but also provides all the related information with a link back to the detailed item view. During the first stage of the project, it has only be implemented for books (and other physical items), but the 'RULA Finder' is built to help users find just about anything and everything in the library including study rooms, computer labs, and staff. With a simple to use admin interface, it makes it easy for everyone, staff and users. <br /> <br /> The application is written in PHP with data stored in a MySQL database. The end-user interface involves jQuery, JSON, and the library's discovery layer (Summon) API.<br /> <br /> The presentation will not only cover the technical aspects, but also the implementation and usability findings.<br /> <br /> == De-sucking the Library User Experience ==<br /> <br /> * Jeremy Prevost, Northwestern University, j-prevost {AT} northwestern [DOT] edu<br /> <br /> Have you ever thought that library vendors purposely create the worst possible user experience they can imagine because they just hate users? Have you ever thought that your own library website feels like it was created by committee rather than for users because, well, it was? I’ll talk about how we used vendor supplied APIs to our ILS and Discovery tool to create an experience for our users that sucks at least a little bit less.<br /> <br /> The talk will provide specific examples of how inefficient or confusing vendor supplied solutions are from a user perspective along with our specific streamlined solutions to the same problems. Code examples will be minimal as the focus will be on improving user experience rather than any one code solution of doing that. Examples may include the seemingly simple tasks of renewing a book or requesting an item from another campus library.<br /> <br /> == Solr Testing Is Easy with Rspec-Solr Gem ==<br /> <br /> * Naomi Dushay, Stanford University, ndushay AT stanford DOT edu<br /> <br /> How do you know if <br /> <br /> * your idea for &quot;left anchoring&quot; searches actually works?<br /> * your field analysis for LC call numbers accommodates a suffix between the first and second cutter without breaking the rest of LC call number parsing?<br /> * tweaking Solr configs to improve, say, Chinese searching, won't break Turkish and Cyrillic?<br /> * changes to your solrconfig file accomplish what you wanted without breaking anything else?<br /> <br /> Avoid the whole app stack when writing Solr acceptance/relevancy/regression tests! Forget cucumber and capybara. This gem lets you easily (only 4 short files needed!) write tests like this, passing arbitrary parameters to Solr:<br /> <br />  it &quot;unstemmed author name Zare should precede stemmed variants&quot; do<br />   resp = solr_response(author_search_args('Zare').merge({'fl'=&gt;'id,author_person_display', 'facet'=&gt;false}))<br />   resp.should include(&quot;author_person_display&quot; =&gt; /\bZare\W/).in_each_of_first(3).documents<br />   resp.should_not include(&quot;author_person_display&quot; =&gt; /Zaring/).in_each_of_first(20).documents<br />  end<br />   <br />  it &quot;Cyrillic searching should work:  Восемьсoт семьдесят один день&quot; do<br />    resp = solr_resp_doc_ids_only({'q'=&gt;'Восемьсoт семьдесят один день'})<br />    resp.should include(&quot;9091779&quot;)<br />  end<br /> <br />  it &quot;q of 'String quartets Parts' and variants should be plausible &quot; do<br />    resp = solr_resp_doc_ids_only({'q'=&gt;'String quartets Parts'})<br />    resp.should have_at_least(2000).documents<br />    resp.should have_the_same_number_of_results_as(solr_resp_doc_ids_only({'q'=&gt;'(String quartets Parts)'}))<br />    resp.should have_more_results_than(solr_resp_doc_ids_only({'q'=&gt;'&quot;String quartets Parts&quot;'}))<br />  end<br /> <br /> it &quot;Traditional Chinese chars 三國誌 should get the same results as simplified chars 三国志&quot; do<br /> resp = solr_response({'q'=&gt;'三國誌', 'fl'=&gt;'id', 'facet'=&gt;false}) <br /> resp.should have_at_least(240).documents<br /> resp.should have_the_same_number_of_results_as(solr_resp_doc_ids_only({'q'=&gt;'三国志'})) <br /> end<br /> <br /> See<br />    http://rubydoc.info/github/sul-dlss/rspec-solr/frames<br />    https://github.com/sul-dlss/rspec-solr<br /> <br /> and our production relevancy/acceptance/regression tests slowly migrating from cucumber to:<br />    https://github.com/sul-dlss/sw_index_tests<br /> <br /> == Northwestern's Digital Image Library ==<br /> <br /> *Mike Stroming, Northwestern University Library, m-stroming AT northwestern DOT edu<br /> *Edgar Garcia, Northwestern University Library, edgar-garcia AT northwestern DOT edu<br /> <br /> At Northwestern University Library, we are about to release a beta version of our Digital Image Library (DIL). DIL is an implementation of the Hydra technology that provides a Fedora repository solution for discovery of and access to over 100,000 images for staff, students, and scholars. Some important features are:<br /> <br /> *Build custom collection of images using drag-and-drop<br /> *Re-order images within a collection using drag-and-drop<br /> *Nest collections within other collections<br /> *Create details/crops of images<br /> *Zoom, rotate images<br /> *Upload personal images<br /> *Retrieve your own uploads and details from a collection<br /> *Export a collection to a PowerPoint presentation<br /> *Create a group of users and authorize access to your images<br /> *Batch edit image metadata<br /> <br /> Our presentation will include a demo, explanation of the architecture, and a discussion of the benefits of being a part of the Hydra open-source community.<br /> <br /> == Two standards in a software (to say nothing of Normarc) ==<br /> <br /> *Zeno Tajoli, CINECA (Italy), z DOT tajoli AT cineca DOT it<br /> <br /> With this presentation I want to show how ILS Koha handles the support of three differnt MARC dialects:<br /> MARC21, Unimarc and Normarc. The main points of the presentation:<br /> <br /> *Three MARC at MySQL level<br /> *Three MARC at API level<br /> *Three MARC at display<br /> *Can I add a new format ?<br /> <br /> == Future Friendly Web Design for Libraries ==<br /> <br /> *[[User:michaelschofield|Michael Schofield]], Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center, mschofied[dot]nova[dot]edu<br /> <br /> Libraries on the web are afterthoughts. Often their design is stymied on one hand by red tape imposed by the larger institution and on the other by an overload of too democratic input from colleagues. Slashed budgets / staff stretched too thin foul-up the R-word (that'd be &quot;redesign&quot;) - but things are getting pretty strange. Notions about the Web (and where it can be accessed) are changing. <br /> <br /> So libraries can only avoid refabbing their fixed-width desktop and jQuery Mobile m-dot websites for so long until desktop users evaporate and demand from patrons with web-ready refrigerators becomes deafening. Just when we have largely hopped on the bandwagon and gotten enthusiastic about being online, our users expect a library's site to look and perform great on everything. <br /> <br /> Our presence on the web should be built to weather ever-increasing device complexity. To meet users at their point of need, libraries must start thinking Future Friendly.<br /> <br /> This overview rehashes the approach and philosophy of library web design, re-orienting it for maximum accessibility and maximum efficiency of design. While just 20 minutes, we'll mull over techniques like mobile-first responsive web design, modular CSS, browser feature detection for progressive enhancement, and lots of nifty tricks.<br /> <br /> ==BYU's discovery layer service aggregator==<br /> <br /> *Curtis Thacker, Brigham Young University, curtis.thacker AT byu DOT edu<br /> <br /> It is clear that libraries will continue to experience rapid change based on the speed of technology. To acknowledge this new reality and to provide rapid response to shifting end user paradigms BYU has developed a custom service aggregator. At first our vendors looked at us a bit funny; however, in the last year they have been astonished with the fluid implementation of new services – here’s the short list:<br /> <br /> *filmfinder - a tool for browsing and searching films<br /> *A custom book recommender service based on checkout data<br /> *Integrated library services like personell, library hours, study room scheduler and database finder through a custom adwords system.<br /> *A very geeky and powerful utility used for converting marc XML into primo compliant xml.<br /> *Embedded floormaps<br /> *A responsive web design<br /> *Bing did-you-mean<br /> *And many more.<br /> <br /> I will demo the system, review the archtecture and talk about future plans.<br /> <br /> ==The Avalon Media System: A Next Generation Hydra Head For Audio and Video Delivery==<br /> <br /> * Michael Klein, Senior Software Developer, Northwestern University LIbrary, michael.klein AT northwestern DOT edu<br /> * Nathan Rogers, Programmer/Analyst, Indiana University, rogersna AT indiana DOT edu<br /> <br /> Based on the success of the [http://www.dml.indiana.edu/ Variations] digital music platform, Indiana University and Northwestern University have developed a next generation educational tool for delivering multimedia resources to the classroom. The Avalon Media System (formerly Variations on Video) supports the ingest, media processing, management, and access-controlled delivery of library-managed video and audio collections. To do so, the system draws on several existing, mature, open source technologies:<br /> <br /> * The ingest, search, and discovery functionality of the Hydra framework<br /> * The powerful multimedia workflow management features of Opencast Matterhorn<br /> * The flexible Engage audio/video player<br /> * The streaming capabilities of both Red5 Media Server (open source) and Adobe Flash Media Server (proprietary)<br /> <br /> Extensive customization options are built into the framework for tailoring the application to the needs of a specific institution.<br /> <br /> Our goal is to create an open platform that can be used by other institutions to serve the needs of the academic community. Release 1 is planned for a late February launch with future versions released every couple of months following. For more information visit http://avalonmediasystem.org/ and https://github.com/variations-on-video/hydrant.<br /> <br /> == The DH Curation Guide: Building a Community Resource == <br /> <br /> *Robin Davis, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, robdavis AT jjay.cuny.edu <br /> *James Little, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, little9 AT illinois.edu <br /> <br /> Data curation for the digital humanities is an emerging area of research and practice. The DH Curation Guide, launched in July 2012, is an educational resource that addresses aspects of humanities data curation in a series of expert-written articles. Each provides a succinct introduction to a topic with annotated lists of useful tools, projects, standards, and good examples of data curation done right. The DH Curation Guide is intended to be a go-to resource for data curation practitioners and learners in libraries, archives, museums, and academic institutions. <br /> <br /> Because it's a growing field, we designed the DH Curation Guide to be a community-driven, living document. We developed a granular commenting system that encourages data curation community members to contribute remarks on articles, article sections, and article paragraphs. Moreover, we built in a way for readers to contribute and annotate resources for other data curation practitioners. <br /> <br /> This talk will address how the DH Curation Guide is currently used and will include a sneak peek at the articles that are in store for the Guide’s future. We will talk about the difficulties and successes of launching a site that encourages community. We are all builders here, so we will also walk through developing the granular commenting/annotation system and the XSLT-powered publication workflow. <br /> <br /> == Solr Update == <br /> <br /> *Erik Hatcher, LucidWorks, erik.hatcher AT lucidworks.com <br /> <br /> Solr is continually improving. Solr 4 was recently released, bringing dramatic changes in the underlying Lucene library and Solr-level features. It's tough for us all to keep up with the various versions and capabilities.<br /> <br /> This talk will blaze through the highlights of new features and improvements in Solr 4 (and up). Topics will include: SolrCloud, direct spell checking, surround query parser, and many other features. We will focus on the features library coders really need to know about.<br /> <br /> == Reports for the People == <br /> <br /> *Kara Young, Keene State College, NH, kyoung1 at keene.edu<br /> *Dana Clark, Keene State College, NH, dclark5 at keene.edu<br /> <br /> Libraries are increasingly being called upon to provide information on how our programs and services are moving our institutional strategic goals forward. In support of College and departmental Information Literacy learning outcomes, Mason Library Systems at Keene State College developed an assessment database to record and report assessment activities by Library faculty. Frustrated by the lack of freely available options for intuitively recording, accounting for, and outputting useful reports on instructional activities, Librarians requested a tool to make capturing and reporting activities (and their lives) easier. Library Systems was able to respond to this need by working with librarians to identify what information is necessary to capture, where other assessment tools had fallen short, and ultimately by developing an application that supports current reporting imperatives while providing flexibility for future changes.<br /> <br /> The result of our efforts was an in-house browser interfaced Assessment Database to improve the process of data collection and analysis. The application is written in PHP, data stored in a MySQL database, and presented via browser making extensive use of JQuery and JQuery plug-ins for data collection, manipulation, and presentation. <br /> The presentation will outline the process undertaken to build a successful collaboration with Library faculty from conception to implementation, as well as the technical aspects of our trial-and-error approach. Plus: cool charts and graphs!<br /> <br /> == Network Analyses of Library Catalog Data ==<br /> <br /> * Kirk Hess, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, kirkhess AT illinois.edu<br /> * Harriett Green, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, green19 AT illinois.edu <br /> <br /> Library collections are all too often like icebergs: The amount exposed on the surface is only a fraction of the actual amount of content, and we’d like to recommend relevant items from deep within the catalog to users. With the assistance of an XSEDE Allocation grant (http://xsede.org), we’ve used R to reconstitute anonymous circulation data from the University of Illinois’s library catalog into separate user transactions. The transaction data is incorporated into subject analyses that use XSEDE supercomputing resources to generate predictive network analyses and visualizations of subject areas searched by library users using Gephi (https://gephi.org/). The test data set for developing the subject analyses consisted of approximately 38,000 items from the Literatures and Languages Library that contained 110,000 headings and 130,620 transactions. We’re currently working on developing a recommender system within VuFind to display the results of these analyses.<br /> <br /> == Pitfall! Working with Legacy Born Digital Materials in Special Collections ==<br /> <br /> * Donald Mennerich, The New York Public Library, don.mennerich AT gmail.com<br /> * Mark A. Matienzo, Yale University Library, mark AT matienzo.org<br /> <br /> Archives and special collections are being faced with a growing abundance of born digital material, as well as an abundance of many promising tools for managing them. However, one must consider the potential problems that can arise when approaching a collection containing legacy materials (from roughly the pre-internet era). Many of the tried and true, &quot;best of breed&quot; tools for digital preservation don't always work as they do for more recent materials, requiring a fair amount of ingenuity and use of &quot;word of mouth tradecraft and knowledge exchanged through serendipitous contacts, backchannel conversations, and beer&quot; (Kirschenbaum, &quot;Breaking &lt;code&gt;badflag&lt;/code&gt;&quot;).<br /> <br /> Our presentation will focus on some of the strange problems encountered and creative solutions devised by two digital archivists in the course of preserving, processing, and providing access to collections at their institutions. We'll be placing particular particular emphasis of the pitfalls and crocodiles we've learned to swing over safely, while collecting treasure in the process. We'll address working with CP/M disks in collections of authors' papers, reconstructing a multipart hard drive backup spread across floppy disks, and more. <br /> <br /> == Project &lt;s&gt;foobar&lt;/s&gt; FUBAR ==<br /> <br /> * Becky Yoose, Grinnell College, yoosebec AT grinnell DOT edu<br /> <br /> Be it mandated from Those In A Higher Pay Grade Than You or self-inflicted, many of us deal with managing major library-related technology projects [1]. It’s common nowadays to manage multiple technology projects, and generally external and internal issues can be planned for to minimize project timeline shifts and quality of deliverables. Life, however, has other plans for you, and all your major library technology infrastructure projects pile on top of each other at the same time. How do you and your staff survive a train wreck of technology projects and produce deliverables to project stakeholders without having to go into the library IT version of the United States Federal Witness Protection Program?<br /> <br /> This session covers my experience with the collision of three major library technology projects - including a new institutional repository and an integrated library system migration - and how we dealt with external and internal factors, implemented damage control, and overall lessening the damage from the epic crash. You might laugh, you might cry, you will probably have flashbacks from previous projects, but you will come out of this session with a set of tools to use when you’re dealing with managing mission-critical projects.<br /> <br /> [1] Past code4lib talks have covered specific project management strategies, such as Agile, for application development. I will be focusing on and discussing general project management practices in relation to various library technology projects, many of which these strategies include in their own structures.<br /> <br /> == Implementing RFID in an Academic Library == <br /> <br /> * Scott Bacon, Coastal Carolina University, sbacon AT coastal DOT edu<br /> <br /> Coastal Carolina University’s Kimbel Library recently implemented RFID to increase security, provide better inventory control over library materials and enable do-it-yourself patron services such as self checkout. <br /> <br /> I’ll give a quick overview of RFID and the components involved and then will talk about how our library utilized the technology. It takes a lot of research, time, money and not too little resourcefulness to make your library RFID-ready. I’ll show how we developed our project timeline, how we assessed and evaluated vendors and how we navigated the bid process. I’ll also talk about hardware and software installation, configuration and troubleshooting and will discuss our book and media collection encoding process. <br /> <br /> We encountered myriad issues with our vendor, the hardware and the software. Would we do it all over again? Should your library consider RFID? Caveats abound...<br /> <br /> == Coding an Academic Library Intranet in Drupal: Now We're Getting Organizized... ==<br /> <br /> * Scott Bacon, Coastal Carolina University, sbacon AT coastal DOT edu<br /> <br /> The Kimbel Library Intranet is coded in Drupal 7, and was created to increase staff communication and store documentation. This presentation will contain an overview of our intranet project, including the modules we used, implementation issues, and possible directions in future development phases. I won’t forget to talk about the slew of tasty development issues we faced, including dealing with our university IT department, user buy-in, site navigation, user roles, project management, training and mobile modules (or the lack thereof). And some other fun (mostly) true anecdotes will surely be shared. <br /> <br /> The main functions of Phase I of this project were to increase communication across departments and committees, facilitate project management and revise the library's shared drive. Another important function of this first phase was to host mission-critical documentation such as strategic goals, policies and procedures. Phase II of this project will focus on porting employee tasks into the centralized intranet environment. This development phase, which aims to replicate and automate the bulk of staff workflows within a content management system, will be a huge undertaking. <br /> <br /> We chose Drupal as our intranet platform because of its extensibility, flexibility and community support. We are also moving our entire library web presence to Drupal in 2013 and will be soliciting any advice on which modules to use/avoid and which third-party services to wrangle into the Drupal environment. Should we use Drupal as the back-end to our entire Web presence? Why or why not?<br /> <br /> == Hands off! Best Practices and Top Ten Lists for Code Handoffs ==<br /> <br /> * Naomi Dushay, Stanford University Library, ndushay@stanford.edu<br /> * Bess Sadler, Stanford University Library, bess@stanford.edu<br /> <br /> Transition points in who is the primary developer on an actively developing code base can be a source of frustration for everyone involved. We've tried to minimize that pain point as much as possible through the use of agile methods like test driven development, continuous integration, and modular design. Has optimizing for developer happiness brought us happiness? What's worked, what hasn't, and what's worth adopting? How do you keep your project in a state where you can easily hand it off? <br /> <br /> == How to be an effective evangelist for your open source project ==<br /> <br /> * Bess Sadler, Stanford University Library, bess@stanford.edu<br /> <br /> The difference between an open source software project that gets new adopters and new contributing community members (which is to say, a project that goes on existing for any length of time) and a project that doesn't, often isn't a question of superior design or technology. It's more often a question of whether the advocates for the project can convince institutional leaders AND front line developers that a project is stable and trustworthy. What are successful strategies for attracting development partners? I'll try to answer that and talk about what we could do as a community to make collaboration easier. <br /> <br /> == What does it mean to be a &quot;good&quot; vendor in an open source meritocracy? ==<br /> <br /> * Matt Zumwalt, Data Curation Experts / MediaShelf / Hydra Project, matt@curationexperts.com<br /> <br /> What is the role of vendors in open source? What should be the position of vendors in a meritocracy? What are the avenues for encouraging great vendors who contribute to open source communities in valuable ways? How you answer these questions has a huge impact on a community, and in order to formulate strong answers, you need to be well informed. Let’s glimpse at the business practicalities of this situation, beginning with 1) an overview of the viable profit models for open-source software, 2) some of the realities of vendor involvement in open source, and 3) an account of the ins &amp; outs of compensation &amp; equity structures within for-profit corporations.<br /> <br /> The topics of power &amp; influence, fairness, community participation, software quality, employment and personal profit are fair game, along with software licensing, sponsorship, closed source software and the role of sales people.<br /> <br /> This presentation will draw on personal experience from the past seven years spent bootstrapping and running MediaShelf, a small but prolific for-profit consulting company that focuses entirely on open source digital repository software. MediaShelf has played an active role in creating the Hydra Framework and continuously contributes to maintenance of Fedora. Those contributions have been funded through consulting contracts for authoring &amp; implementing open source software on behalf of organizations around the world.<br /> <br /> ==Occam’s Reader: A system that allows the sharing of eBooks via Interlibrary Loan==<br /> <br /> *Ryan Litsey, Texas Tech University, Ryan DOT Litsey AT ttu.edu<br /> *Kenny Ketner, Texas Tech University, Kenny DOT Ketner AT ttu.edu<br /> <br /> Occam’s Reader is a software platform that allows the transfer and sharing of electronic books between libraries via existing interlibrary loan software. Occam’s Reader allows libraries to meet the growing need to be able to share our electronic resources. In the ever-increasing digital world, many of our collection development plans now include eBook platforms. The problem with eBooks, however, is that they are resources that are locked into the home library. With Occam’s Reader we can continue the centuries-old tradition of resource sharing and also keep up with the changing digital landscape. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Using Puppet for configuration management when no two servers look alike ==<br /> * Eugene Vilensky, Senior Systems Administrator, Northwestern University Library, evilensky northwestern edu<br /> <br /> Configuration management is hot because it allows one to scale to thousands of machines, all of which look alike, and tightly manage changes across the nodes. Infrastructure as code, implement all changes programmatically, yadda yadda yadda.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, servers which have gone unmanaged for a long time do not look very similar to each other. Variables come in many forms, usually because of some or all of the following: Who installed the server, where it was installed, where the image was sourced from, when it was installed, where additional packages were sourced, and what kind of software was hosted on it.<br /> <br /> Bringing such machines into your configuration management platform is no harder and no easier than some or all of the following options options: 1) blow such machines away and start from scratch, migrate your data. 2) Find the lowest common baseline between the current state and the ideal state and start the work there. 3) implement new features/services on existing unmanaged machines but manage the new features/services.<br /> <br /> I will describe our experiences at the library for all three options using the Puppet open-source tool on Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.<br /> <br /> == REST &lt;b&gt;IS&lt;/b&gt; Your Mobile Strategy ==<br /> <br /> * Richard Wolf, University of Illinois at Chicago, richwolf@uic.edu<br /> <br /> Mobile is the new hotness ... and you can't be one of the cool kids unless you've got your own mobile app ... but the road to mobility is daunting. I'll argue that it's actually easier than it seems ... and that the simplest way to mobility is to bring your data to the party, create a REST API around the data, tell developers about your API, and then let the magic happen. To make my argument concrete, I'll show (lord help me!) how to go from an interesting REST API to a fun iOS tool for librarians and the general public in twenty minutes.<br /> <br /> == ARCHITECTING ScholarSphere: How We Built a Repository App That Doesn't Feel Like Yet Another Janky Old Repository App ==<br /> <br /> * Dan Coughlin, Penn State University, danny@psu.edu<br /> * Mike Giarlo, Penn State University, michael@psu.edu<br /> <br /> ScholarSphere is a web application that allows the Penn State research community to deposit, share, and manage its scholarly works. It is also, as some of our users and our peers have observed, a repository app that feels much more like Google Docs or GitHub than earlier-generation repository applications. ScholarSphere is built upon the Hydra framework (Fedora Commons, Solr, Blacklight, Ruby on Rails), MySQL, Redis, Resque, FITS, ImageMagick, jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. We'll talk about techniques we used to:<br /> <br /> * eliminate Fedora-isms in the application<br /> * model and expose RDF metadata in ways that users find unobtrusive<br /> * manage permissions via a UI widget that doesn't stab you in the face<br /> * harvest and connect controlled vocabularies (such as LCSH) to forms<br /> * make URIs cool<br /> * keep the app snappy without venturing into the architectural labyrinth of YAGNI<br /> * build and queue background jobs<br /> * expose social features and populate activity streams<br /> * tie checksum verification, characterization, and version control to the UI<br /> * let users upload and edit multiple files at once<br /> <br /> The application will be demonstrated; code will be shown; and we solemnly commit to showing ABSOLUTELY NO XML.<br /> <br /> ==Coding with Mittens==<br /> <br /> *Jim LeFager, DePaul University Library jlefager@depaul.edu<br /> <br /> <br /> Working in an environment where developers have restricted access to servers and development areas, or where you are primarily working in multiple hosted systems with limited access, can be a challenge when you are attempting to incorporate any new functionality or improve an existing one. Hosted web services present a benefit so that staff time is not dedicated to server maintenance and development, but customization can be difficult and at times impossible. In many cases, incorporating any current API functionality requires additional work besides the original development work which can be frustrating and inefficient. The result can be a Frankenstein monster of web services that is confusing to the user and difficult to navigate. <br /> <br /> This talk will focus on some effective best practices, and maybe not so great but necessary practices that we have adopted to develop and improve our user’s experience using javascript/jQuery and CSS to manipulate our hosted environments. This will include a review of available tools that allow collaborative development in the cloud, as well as examples of jQuery methods that have allowed us to take additional control of these hosted environments as well as track them using Google Analytics. Included will be examples from Springshare Campus Guides, CONTENTdm and other hosted web spaces that have been ‘hacked’ to improve the UI. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Hacking the DPLA ==<br /> * Nate Hill, Chattanooga Public Library, nathanielhill AT gmail.com<br /> * Sam Klein, Wikipedia, metasj AT gmail.com<br /> <br /> The Digital Public Library of America is a growing open-source platform to support digital libraries and archives of all kinds. DPLA-alpha is available for testing, with data from six initial Hubs. New APIs and data feeds are in development, with the next release scheduled for April. <br /> <br /> Come learn what we are doing, how to contribute or hack the DPLA roadmap, and how you (or your favorite institution) can draw from and publish through it. Larger institutions can join as a (content or service) hub, helping to aggregate and share metadata and services from across their {region, field, archive-type}. We will discuss current challenges and possibilities (UI and API suggestions wanted!), apps being built on the platform, and related digitization efforts.<br /> <br /> DPLA has a transparent community and planning process; new participants are always welcome. Half the time will be for suggestions and discussion. Please bring proposals, problems, partnerships and possible paradoxes to discuss.<br /> <br /> == Introduction to SilverStripe 3.0 ==<br /> <br /> * Ian Walls, University of Massachusetts Amherst, iwalls AT library DOT umass DOT edu<br /> <br /> SilverStripe is an open source Content Management System/development framework out of New Zealand, written in PHP, with a solid MVC structure. This presentation will cover everything you need to know to get started with SilverStripe, including<br /> * Features (and why you should consider SilverStripe)<br /> * Requirements &amp; Installation<br /> * Model-View-Controller<br /> * Key data types &amp; configuration settings<br /> * Modules<br /> * Where to start with customization<br /> * Community support and participation<br /> <br /> == Citation search in SOLR and second-order operators ==<br /> <br /> * Roman Chyla, Astrophysics Data System, roman.chyla AT (cfa.harvad.edu|gmail.com)<br /> <br /> Citation search is basically about connections (Is the paper read by a friend of mine more important than others? Get me a paper read by somebody who cites many papers/is cited by many papers?), but the implementation of the citation search is surprisingly useful in many other areas.<br /> <br /> I will show 'guts' of the new citation search for astrophysics, it is generic and can be applied recursively to any Lucene query. Some people would call it a second-order operation because it works with the results of the previous (search) function. The talk will see technical details of the special query class, its collectors, how to add a new search operator and how to influence relevance scores. Then you can type with me: friends_of(friends_of(cited_for(keyword:&quot;black holes&quot;) AND keyword:&quot;red dwarf&quot;))<br /> <br /> <br /> == Managing Segmented Images and Hierarchical Collections with Fedora-Commons and Solr ==<br /> <br /> * David Lacy, Villanova University, david DOT lacy AT villanova.edu<br /> <br /> Many of the resources within our digital library are split into parts -- newspapers, scrapbooks and journals being examples of collections of individual scanned pages. In some cases, groups of pages within a collection, or segments within a particular page, may also represent chapters or articles.<br /> <br /> We recently devised a procedure to extract these &quot;segmented resources&quot; into their own objects within our repository, and index them individually in our Discovery Layer.<br /> <br /> In this talk I will explain how we dissected and organized these newly created resources with an extension to our Fedora Model, and how we make them discoverable through Solr configurations that facilitate browsable hierarchical relationships and field-collapsed results that group items within relevant resources.<br /> <br /> == Google Analytics, Event Tracking and Discovery Tools==<br /> <br /> * Emily Lynema, North Carolina State University Libraries. ejlynema AT ncsu DOT edu<br /> * Adam Constabaris, North Carolina State University Libraries, ajconsta AT ncsu DOT edu<br /> <br /> The NCSU Libraries is using Google Analytics increasingly across its website as a replacement for usage tracking via Urchin. More recently, we have also begun to use the event tracking features in Google Analytics. This has allowed us to gather usage statistics for activities that don’t initiate new requests to the server, such as clicks that hide and show already-loaded content (as in many tabbed interfaces). Aggregating these events together with pageview tracking in Google Analytics presents a more unified picture of patron activity and can help improve design of tools like the library catalog. While assuming a basic understanding of the use of Google Analytics pageview tracking, this presentation will start with an introduction to the event tracking capabilities that may be less widely known. <br /> <br /> We’ll share library catalog usage data pulled from Google Analytics, including information about features that are common across the newest wave of catalog interfaces, such as tabbed content, Google Preview, and shelf browse. We will also cover the approach taken for the technical implementation of this data-intensive JavaScript event tracking.<br /> <br /> As a counterpart, we can demonstrate how we have begun to use Google Analytics event tracking in a proprietary vendor discovery tool (Serials Solutions Summon). While the same technical ideas govern this implementation, we can highlight the differences (read, challenges) inherent in utilizing this type of event tracking in vendor-owned application vs. a locally developed application.<br /> <br /> Along the way, hopefully you’ll learn a little about why you might (or might not) want to use Google Analytics event tracking yourself and see some interesting catalog usage stats.<br /> <br /> == Actions speak louder than words: Analyzing large-scale query logs to improve the research experience ==<br /> <br /> * Raman Chandrasekar, Serials Solutions, Raman DOT Chandrasekar AT serialssolutions DOT com<br /> * Ted Diamond, Serials Solutions, Ted DOT Diamond AT serialssolutions DOT com<br /> <br /> Analyzing anonymized query and click through logs leads to a better understanding of user behaviors and intents and provides great opportunities to respond to users with an improved search experience. A large-scale provider of SaaS services, Serials Solutions is uniquely positioned to learn from the dataset of queries aggregated from the Summon service generated by millions of users at hundreds of libraries around the globe.<br /> <br /> In this session, we will describe our Relevance Metrics Framework and provide examples of insights gained and surprises encountered during its development and implementation. We will also cover recent product changes inspired by these insights. Chandra and Ted, from the Summon dev team, will share insights and outcomes from this ongoing process and highlight how analysis of large-scale query logs helps improve the academic research experience.<br /> <br /> == Supporting Gaming in the College Classroom == <br /> <br /> *Megan O'Neill, Albion College, moneill AT albion DOT edu<br /> <br /> Faculty are increasingly interested both in teaching with games and with gamifying their courses. Introducing digital games and game support for faculty through the library makes a lot of sense, but it comes with a thorny set of issues. This talk will discuss our library's initial steps toward creating a digital gamerspace and game support infrastructure in the library, including:<br /> 1) The scope and acquisitions decisions that make the most sense for us, and 2) Some difficulties we've discovered in trying to get our collection, physical- , digital- and head-space, and infrastructure up and going.<br /> There will also be an extremely brief overview of WHY we decided to teach with games and to support gamification, what (if anything) to do about mobile gaming, and where games in education might be going.<br /> <br /> == Codecraft ==<br /> <br /> * Devon Smith, OCLC Research, smithde@oclc.org<br /> <br /> We can think of and talk about software development as science, engineering, and craft. In this presentation, I'll talk about the craft aspect of software. From Wikipedia[1]: &quot;In English, to describe something as a craft is to describe it as lying somewhere between an art (which relies on talent and technique) and a science (which relies on knowledge). In this sense, the English word craft is roughly equivalent to the ancient Greek term techne.&quot; Of the questions who, what, where, why, when, and how, I will focus on why and how, with a minor in where.<br /> <br /> '''N.B.''': This will be a NON-TECHNICAL talk.<br /> <br /> [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craft#Classification<br /> <br /> == KnowBot: A Tool to Manage Reference and Beyond == <br /> <br /> * Sarah Park, Northwest Missouri State University<br /> * Hong Gyu Han, Northwest Missouri State University<br /> * Lori Mardis, Northwest Missouri State University<br /> <br /> Northwest Missouri State University has developed and used RefPole for collecting and analyzing reference statistics since 2005. RefPole was a tool to answer librarians’ needs to manage reference statistics and knowledge among librarians. It was an analysis tool for the library leaders to make decisions on library operations. RefPole was adequate for the internal use; however, it was developed for local access which keeps the collective reference knowledge from being shared beyond the desktop and from being accessed by students and faculty. <br /> <br /> In 2011, responding to growing internal and external need, the library has developed a web based knowledge base management system, KnowBot, in Ruby on Rail. KnowBot offers public searching, rating, cloud tagging, librarian, and reporting interfaces. With the additional public interfaces, it also extended reference services 24/7. Librarians can record responses to questions with graphics and multimedia. The reporting interface features not only the simple transactional data, but it also exhibits multi-dimensional analytic tool in real time.<br /> <br /> The presenters will demonstrate KnowBot; share the source code; and discuss the use of the knowledge base to answer the organizational and public need.<br /> <br /> == Creating a (mostly) integrated Patron Account with SirsiDynix Symphony and ILLiad ==<br /> <br /> * Emily Lynema, North Carolina State University Libraries, ejlynema AT ncsu DOT edu<br /> * Jason Raitz, North Carolina State University Libraries, jcraitz AT ncsu DOT edu<br /> <br /> IIn 2012, the NCSU Libraries at long last replaced a vendor “my account” tool that had been running unsupported for years. With the opportunity to create something new, one of the initial goals was a user experience that more seamlessly combined ILS data from SirsiDynix Symphony with ILL data from ILLiad. As a Kuali OLE beta partner, the NCSU Libraries is looking at an ILS migration within the next few years, so another goal was to build the interface on top of a standard so it would not have to be re-written as part of the migration. And the icing on the cake was a transition from a local Perl-based authentication system to the newer campus-wide Shibboleth authentication.<br /> <br /> This presentation will start with our design goals for a new user interface, include a demonstration, and describe the simple techniques used to provide a more integrated view of Symphony and ILLiad patron data. The backbone of the actual application is built using Zend’s PHP Framework and integrates eXtensible Catalog’s NCIP Toolkit to reach out to Symphony for patron data. In addition, we can talk about our successes (and difficulties) using jQuery Mobile to create a mobile view using the same underlying code as the web version. As one of our first Shibboleth applications here in the Libraries, this experience also taught us first-hand about some of the challenges of this type of single sign-on.<br /> <br /> == SKOS Name Authority in a DSpace Institutional Repository ==<br /> <br /> * Tom Johnson, Oregon State University, thomas.johnson@oregonstate.edu<br /> <br /> Name ambiguity is widespread in institutional repositories. Searching by author, users are typically greeted by a variety of misspellings and permutations of initials, collision between contributors with similar names, and other problems inherent in uncontrolled (often user-submitted) data. While DSpace has the technical capacity to use controlled names, it relies on outside authority files (from LoC, for example) to do the heavy lifting. For institutional authors, this leaves a major coverage gap and creates namespace pollution on a vast scale (try searching [http://authorities.loc.gov authorities.loc.gov] for &quot;Johnson, John&quot;, sometime). <br /> <br /> OSU is solving this problem with an institutionally scoped, low maintenance SKOS/FOAF &quot;name authority file&quot;. People in the IR are assigned URIs, names are maintained as skos:prefLabel, altLabel, or hiddenLabel. We've developed a simple Python application allowing staff to update individual &quot;records&quot;, and code on the DSpace side to access the dataset over SPARQL. This presentation will walk you through where we are now, limitations we've run into, and possibilities for the future.<br /> <br /> == Meta-Harvesting: Harvesting the Harvesters ==<br /> <br /> * Steven Anderson, Boston Public Library, sanderson AT bpl DOT org<br /> * Eben English, Boston Public Library, eenglish AT bpl DOT org<br /> <br /> The emerging Digital Public Library of America (http://dp.la/) has proposed to aggregate digital content for search and discovery from several regional &quot;service hubs&quot; that will provide metadata via an as-yet-unspecified harvest process. As these service hubs are already harvesters of digital content from myriad sources themselves, the potential for &quot;telephone game&quot;-esque data loss and/or transmutation is a significant danger.<br /> <br /> This talk will discuss the experience of Digital Commonwealth (http://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/), a statewide digital repository currently in the process of being revamped, refactored, and redesigned by the Boston Public Library using the Hydra Framework. The repository, which aggregates data from over 20 institutions (some of which are themselves aggregators), is also undergoing a massive metadata cleanup effort as records are prepared to be ingested into the DPLA as one of the regional service hubs. Topics will include automated and manual processes for data crosswalking and cleanup, advanced OAI-PMH chops, and the implications of the (at this time still-emerging) metadata standards and APIs being created by the DPLA.<br /> <br /> Every crosswalk, transformation, migration, harvest, or export/ingest of metadata requires informed decision making and precise attention to detail. This talk will provide insight into key decision points and potential quagmires, as well as a discussion of the challenges of dealing with heterogeneous data from a wide variety of institutions.<br /> <br /> == Pay No More Than £3 // DIY Digital Curation ==<br /> <br /> * Chris Fitzpatrick, World Maritime University, cf AT wmu DOT se<br /> <br /> Are you a small library or archive? &lt;br&gt;<br /> Do you feel you are being held back by limited technical resources?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Tired of waiting around for the Google Books Library people to reply to your emails? &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Join the club. Open-source software, hackerspaces, dirt cheap storage, cloud computing, and social media make it possible for any institution to start curating digitally. Today.<br /> This talk will cover some of the guerrilla tactics being employed to drag a small university's large collection into the internet age. <br /> <br /> Topics will include: <br /> *Cheap and effective document scanning methods.<br /> *Valuable resources found at your local hackerspace / makerspace / fablab.<br /> *Metadata enrichment for the not-so-rich and NLP for the people.<br /> *Utilizing social media to crowdsource your collection building.<br /> *How to post-process, OCR, PDF, and ePub your documents using Free software.<br /> *Ways to build out a digital repository with no servers, code, or large 2-year grants required. (ok, maybe some code).<br /> <br /> == IIIF: One Image Delivery API to Rule Them All ==<br /> <br /> * Willy Mene, Stanford University Libraries, wmene AT stanford DOT edu<br /> * Stuart Snydman, Stanford University Libraries, snydman AT stanford DOT edu<br /> <br /> The International Image Interoperability Framework was conceived of by a group of research and national libraries determined to achieve the holy grail of seamless sharing and reuse of images in digital image repositories and applications. By converging on common API’s for image delivery, metadata transmission and search, it is catalyzing the development of a new wave of interoperable image delivery software that will surpass the current crop of image viewers, page turners, and navigation systems, and in so doing give scholars an unprecedented level of consistent and rich access to image-based resources across participating repositories.<br /> <br /> The IIIF Image API (http://library.stanford.edu/iiif/image-api) specifies a web service that returns an image in response to a standard http or https request. The URL can specify the region, size, rotation, quality characteristics and format of the requested image. A URL can also be constructed to request basic technical information about the image to support client applications. The API could be adopted by any image repository or service, and can be used to retrieve static images in response to a properly constructed URL.<br /> <br /> In this presentation we will review version 1 of the IIIF image api and validator, demonstrate applications by daring early adopters, and encourage widespread adoption.<br /> <br /> == Data-Driven Documents: Visualizing library data with D3.js ==<br /> <br /> * Bret Davidson, North Carolina State University Libraries, bret_davidson@ncsu.edu<br /> <br /> Several JavaScript libraries have emerged over the past few years for creating rich, interactive visualizations using web standards. Few are as powerful and flexible as D3.js[1]. D3 stands apart by merging web standards with a rich API and a unique approach to binding data to DOM elements, allowing you to apply data-driven transformations to a document. This emphasis on data over presentation has made D3 very popular; D3 is used by several prominent organizations including the New York Times[2], GOV.UK[3], and Trulia[4].<br /> <br /> Power usually comes at a cost, and D3 makes you pay with a steeper learning curve than many alternatives. In this talk, I will get you over the hump by introducing the core construct of D3, the Data-Join. I will also discuss when you might want to use D3.js, share some examples, and explore some advanced utilities like scales and shapes. I will close with a brief overview of how we are successfully using D3 at NCSU[5] and why investing time in learning D3 might make sense for your library.<br /> <br /> *[1]http://d3js.org/<br /> *[2]http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/24/us/drought-crops.html<br /> *[3]https://www.gov.uk/performance/dashboard<br /> *[4]http://trends.truliablog.com/vis/pricerange-boston/<br /> *[5]http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/dli/projects/spaceassesstool<br /> <br /> == ''n'' Characters in Search of an Author ==<br /> <br /> * Jay Luker, IT Specialist, Smithsonian Astrophysics Data System, jluker@cfa.harvard.edu<br /> <br /> When it comes to author names the disconnect between our metadata and what a user might enter into a search box presents challenges when trying to maximize both precision and recall [0]. When indexing a paper written by &quot;Wäterwheels, A&quot; a goal should be to preserve as much as possible the original information. However, users searching by author name may frequently omit the diaeresis and search for simply, &quot;Waterwheels&quot;. The reverse of this scenario is also possible, i.e., your decrepit metadata contains only the ASCII, &quot;Supybot, Zoia&quot;, whereas the user enters, &quot;Supybot, Zóia&quot;. If recall is your highest priority the simple solution is to always downgrade to ASCII when indexing and querying. However this strategy sacrifices precision, as you will be unable to provide an &quot;exact&quot; search, necessary in cases where &quot;Hacker, J&quot; and &quot;Häcker, J&quot; really are two distinct authors.<br /> <br /> This talk will describe the strategy ADS[1] has devised for addressing common and edge-case problems faced when dealing with author name indexing and searching. I will cover the approach we devised to not only the transliteration issue described above, but also how we deal with author initials vs. full first and/or middle names, authors who have published under different forms of their name, authors who change their names (wha? people get married?!). Our implementation relies on Solr/Lucene[2], but my goal is an 80/20 mix of high- vs. low-level details to keep things both useful and stackgnostic [3].<br /> <br /> *[0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall<br /> *[1] http://www.adsabs.harvard.edu/<br /> *[2] http://lucene.apache.org/solr/<br /> *[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau<br /> <br /> [[Category:Code4Lib2013]]</div>

<p>Lbjay: /* Who? */</p> <hr /> <div>Welcome to the wiki home of the New England &quot;chapter&quot; of [http://code4lib.org/ Code4Lib].<br /> <br /> Due to spam, this page is now '''protected''' and you need an account to edit it.<br /> <br /> == Past Meetings ==<br /> <br /> === 1st Meeting (BPL) ===<br /> <br /> '''Date &amp; Time:''' Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 9:00am-5:00pm<br /> <br /> '''Location:''' Boston Public Library, McKim Building, McKim Conference Room<br /> <br /> '''Signup:''' Feel free to declare your intention to join at the [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1389003/ Upcoming event page].<br /> <br /> ==== What? ====<br /> <br /> The current plan is to start the day with presentations and/or lightning talks. When we run out of those we can then break out into groups to discuss and experiment according to interests. Use the sections below for general ideas of things to do or actual topics or projects you'd be willing to present on.<br /> <br /> ==== Suggest some Topics ====<br /> <br /> * Ripping open the guts of a particular lib app (by the author) as an architecture or implementation How-To (or How-Not-To) session?<br /> <br /> ==== Lightning (or Longer) Talks ====<br /> <br /> * Scraping article metadata using the CiteULike parsers - JayL<br /> * Update on code4lib 2009 conference planning - Jean Rainwater &amp; Birkin Diana<br /> * Extending Zotero: Citation Style Language - Jodi Schneider<br /> * Semantic Web for Libraries or Microformats - Jodi Schneider<br /> * Semi-controlled-folksonomic-tagging-vocabulary: Encouraging Useful Metadata Contributions - Chris Beer &amp; Courtney Michael<br /> * Common Knowledge at LibraryThing: Why Star Wars geeks are better than catalogers (for Star Wars stuff) - Tim Spalding<br /> * A Vocabulary Browser in Solr, SKOS, and XForms - Michael Klein<br /> * Introducing Scriblio's (still in beta) cataloging tools - Casey Bisson<br /> <br /> ==== Getting there ====<br /> <br /> Follow the [http://www.bpl.org/general/directions.htm directions] to the Central Library. Go in, turn right, the conference room is on your left before you get to the cafe. If anyone's driving, may we suggest the garage at 100 Clarendon Street (next to Back Bay Station). Close by, and far less expensive than any of the other local garages. Or, search nearby parking at [http://boston.bestparking.com/ http://boston.bestparking.com/] MBTA: Copley for Green Line, Back Bay for Orange Line or Commuter Rail.<br /> <br /> ==== Voting process ====<br /> <br /> * [http://whenisgood.net/necode4lib/2008/results/LWmrQy WhenIsGood results]<br /> * [http://dilettantes.code4lib.org/voting_booth/election/results/5 Location voting results]<br /> <br /> ==== Fallout ====<br /> <br /> * A few notes by Gabriel Farrell at http://breaksalot.org/necode4lib<br /> <br /> == Future meeting location suggestions ==<br /> <br /> Suggest some other, future locations below. Something not too hard to get to for folks in all corners of the N.E. area would be best<br /> <br /> * Somewhere in Western Mass (a.k.a. 413; a.k.a. Northampton, MA; a.k.a Hamp; a.k.a. NoHo) - This would work best for me, the further West, the more likely I can make it (ecorrado)<br /> * I can probably offer free space in our Concord NH campus with good network and projectors, though I realize that may be too far north for some --Casey<br /> * Somewhere in the Boston area<br /> * Portland, Maine, of course.

<p>Lbjay: /* Presenter Signup */</p> <hr /> <div>One of the highlights of the Code4Lib annual meeting is the “lightning talk” rounds. A lightning talk is a fast-paced 5 minute talk on a topic of the presenter’s choosing. They are usually scheduled on an ad-hoc, first-come-first-served basis on the day of the event. They are an opportunity to provide a platform for someone who is just getting started with public speaking, who wants to ask a question or invite people to help with a project, or for someone to boast about something he or she did or tell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth talking about, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up a full session timeslot.<br /> <br /> “Virtual Lightning Talks” replicates this conference activity online in a virtual meeting environment. Each one-hour block consists of 10 six-minute sessions (one minute for the presenter to take control of the virtual meeting environment and test audio followed by a five minute presentation). Presenters show their work by sharing their entire desktop; the presentation can consist of slides, web browser, command-line shell, or any other application that can be shown on the desktop.<br /> <br /> Code4Lib Virtual Lightning Talks is using the Saba Centra webinar platform (Java-based, multi-platform) through [http://www.lyrasis.org/ LYRASIS].<br /> <br /> == Event Participant Guidelines (everyone) ==<br /> <br /> * Check out the [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/SystemCheck/SystemCheck.jhtml minimum configuration guidelines and system test page] for the webinar software.<br /> * Questions and comments relevant to the presentation (e.g. for the speaker) go in the conferencing tool's chat window. Side comments and snark go in the IRC channel.<br /> * The event will be recorded for later viewing.<br /> <br /> == Presenter Guidelines ==<br /> [[Image:Saba-sign-on.png|right|alt=Snapshot of web page highlighting the &quot;Launch on Desktop&quot; button for presenters to use|Use the &quot;Launch on Desktop&quot; button.]]<br /> The webinar platform supports desktop sharing by Mac, Linux, and Windows servers. Centra offers to options to join a conference: desktop-based and browser-based. To share your desktop, you ''must join the conference using the desktop software''.<br /> <br /> '''Technical Requirements''': Minimum configurations for Mac, Linux and Windows are on the [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/SystemCheck/SystemCheck.jhtml system test] page. In addition, the conference will use Voice-over-IP (VoIP), so you must have a microphone to present (and preferably a headset to eliminate echo).<br /> <br /> '''Prior to the webinar''': Download and install the Centra desktop software. Versions are available for [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/Install/macx/setup.jhtml Mac], [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/Install/linux/setup.jhtml Linux], and [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/Install/win32/setup.jhtml Windows]. After installing the client, run the [http://mt205.centra.com/SiteRoots/main/SystemCheck/SystemCheck.jhtml Centra system test] to verify connectivity.<br /> <br /> '''At the start of the webinar''': Follow the link to the event and enter your e-mail address into the form. You must select &quot;Launch on Desktop&quot; to open the Centra desktop client. <br /> <br /> * The webinar software will open 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. If you want to have extra time to test the system and get ready for your presentation, sign in during this 30 minute window.<br /> * Your screen resolution must be 1280 by 768 or less.<br /> * If you have more than one screen/monitor, disable all screens but one. (The software will share all of your screens as one large desktop, making it hard for people to follow.)<br /> <br /> == Virtual Lightning Talks #1 -- April 29, 2011 ==<br /> April 29, 2011 at 1:00pm Eastern U.S. Daylight Time ([http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=4&amp;day=29&amp;year=2011&amp;hour=13&amp;min=0&amp;sec=0&amp;p1=179 see this time in your local timezone]).

<p>Lbjay: </p> <hr /> <div>'''UPDATE:''' The submission deadline has passed and voting on the talks has commenced at http://vote.code4lib.org/election/index/17<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Deadline for talk submission is ''Saturday, November 13''. See [http://www.mail-archive.com/code4lib@listserv.nd.edu/msg08878.html this mailing list post for more details], or the general [http://code4lib.org/conference/2011 Code4Lib 2011] page.<br /> <br /> See the [http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2011talkscall_Call_for_Submissions Call for Submissions] for guidelines on appropriate topic talks and the criteria on which submissions are evaluated.<br /> <br /> Please follow the formatting guidelines:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == Talk Title: ==<br /> <br /> * Speaker's name, affiliation, and email address<br /> * Second speaker's name, affiliation, email address, if second speaker<br /> <br /> Abstract of no more than 500 words.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == How &quot;great&quot; are the Great Books? ==<br /> <br /> * Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame (emorgan at nd.edu)<br /> <br /> In the 1960s a set of books called the Great Books of the Western World was published. It was supposed to represent the best of Western literature and enable the reader to further their liberal arts education. Sixty volumes in all, it included works by Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Milton, Galileo, Kepler, Melville, Darwin, etc. These great books were selected based on the way they discussed a set of 102 &quot;great ideas&quot; such as art, astronomy, beauty, evil, evolution, mind, nature, poetry, revolution, science, will, wisdom, etc. How &quot;great&quot; are these books, and how &quot;great&quot; are the ideas expressed in them?<br /> <br /> Given full text versions of these books it is almost trivial to use the &quot;great ideas&quot; as input and apply relevancy ranking algorithms against the texts thus creating a sort of score -- a &quot;Great Ideas Coefficient&quot;. Term Frequency/Inverse Document Frequency (TFIDF) is a well-established algorithm for computing just this sort of thing:<br /> <br /> relevancy = ( c / t ) * log( d / f ) where:<br /> <br /> * c = number of times a given word appears in a document<br /> * t = total number of words in a document<br /> * d = total number of documents in a corpus<br /> * f = total number of documents containing a given word<br /> <br /> Thus, to calculate our Great Ideas Coefficient I sum the relevancy score for each &quot;great idea&quot; for each &quot;great book&quot;. Plato's Republic might have a cumulative score of 525 while Aristotle's On The History Of Animals might have a cumulative score of 251. Books with a larger Coefficient could be considered greater. Given such a score a person could measure a book's &quot;greatness&quot;. We could then compare the score to the scores of other books. Which book is the &quot;greatest&quot;? We could compare the score to other measurable things such as book's length or date to see if there were correlations. Are &quot;great books&quot; longer or shorter than others? Do longer books contain more &quot;great ideas&quot;? Are there other books that were not included in the set that maybe should have been included?<br /> <br /> The first part of this talk describes the different steps involved in the text pre-processing to calculate an accurate TFIDF value for each item of the corpus. The results and statistical analysis are discussed in the second part. Finally I will outline the remaining work such as refining the analysis and extending the current quantitative process to a web implementation.<br /> <br /> == UNR BookFinder: Leveraging Google Books to Move Beyond Catalog Search ==<br /> * Will Kurt, University of Nevada, Reno, (wkurt at unr.edu)<br /> Google Books is a great tool, but it lacks an easy method allowing users to access the items they find through their library. The UNR BookFinder is a mashup of the Google Books and WorldCat APIs (and some ugly hacks) which allows users to search for items with the power of Google’s fulltext search while eliminating the need to search all of the library’s various resources to find an item. The UNR BookFinder automatically searches the catalog and consortial ILL for the item, if these fail an ILLiad request form as automatically filled out. The end result is that the user can explore an universe of books and access them as fast as possible through the university library. A video of the alpha version can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqcUSTtdVk here].<br /> <br /> == Moving a large multi-tiered search architecture from dedicated hosts to the cloud ==<br /> * Peter Ciuffetti, Senior Software Engineer, Credo Reference Ltd. (pete at credoreference.com)<br /> So you want to move a large production search service from dedicated hosts to the cloud? The flexibility is enticing, the costs are attractive, the geek cred is undeniable. Our cloud adventure came with many undocumented surprises ranging from mysterious server behavior to sales engineers suggesting that 'maybe the cloud isn't for you'. We eventually made it all work and our production service is now on the cloud. This talk will cover what the cloud product FAQs don't say, what their tech support doesn't know (or won't say) and mistakes you can avoid by talking to the guys with the arrows in their backs.<br /> <br /> == VuFind Beyond MARC: Discovering Everything Else ==<br /> * Demian Katz, Library Technology Development Specialist, Villanova University (demian dot katz at villanova dot edu)<br /> The VuFind[http://vufind.org] discovery layer has been providing a user-friendly interface to MARC records for several years now. However, library data consists of more than just MARC records, and VuFind has grown to accommodate just about anything you can throw at it. This presentation will examine the new workflows and tools that enable discovery of non-MARC resources and some of the non-traditional applications of VuFind that they make possible. Technologies covered will include OAI-PMH, XSLT, Aperture, Solr and, of course, VuFind itself.<br /> <br /> == Linked data apps for medical professionals ==<br /> * Rurik Thomas Greenall, NTNU Library, (rurik dot greenall at ub dot ntnu dot no)<br /> The promise of linked data for libraries has yet to be realized, as a demonstration of the power of RDF, HTTP-URIs and SPARQL, NTNU Library together with the Norwegian Electronic Health Library produced a linked data representation of MeSH and created a small translation app that can be used to help health professionals identify the right term and apply it in their database searches. This talk presents the simple ways in which the core technologies and concepts in linked data provide a solid, time-saving way of developing usable applications.<br /> <br /> == fiwalk With Me: Building Emergent Pre-Ingest Workflows for Digital Archival Records using Open Source Forensic Software ==<br /> * Mark A. Matienzo, Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library (mark at matienzo dot org)<br /> Many of the complications of born-digital records involve preparing them for transfer into a storage or preservation environment. Digital evidence of any kind is easily susceptible to unintentional and intentional modification. This presentation will describe the use of open source forensic software in pre-ingest workflows for digital archives. Digital archivists and other digital curation practitioners can develop emergent processes to prepare records for ingest and transfer using a combination of relatively simple tools. The granularity and simplicity of these tools and procedures provides the possibility for their smooth integration into a digital curation environment built on micro-services.<br /> == Why (Code4) Libraries Exist ==<br /> * Eric Hellman, President, Gluejar, Inc. (eric at hellman dot net)<br /> Libraries have historically delivered value to society by facilitating the sharing of books. The library &quot;brand&quot; is built around the building and exploitation of their collections. These collections have been acquired and owned. As ebook readers become the preferred consumption platform for books, libraries are beginning to come to terms with the fact that they don't own their digital collections, and can't share books as they'd like to. Yet libraries continue to be valuable in many ways. In this transitional period, only one thing can save libraries from irrelevance and dissipation: Code.<br /> == The Story of TILE: Making Modular &amp; Reusable Tools ==<br /> * Doug Reside, MITH, University of Maryland (dougreside at gmail dot com)<br /> <br /> The Text Image Linking Environment (TILE) is a collaborative project between the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), the Digital Library Program at Indiana University, and the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University Bloomington. Since May 2009, the TILE project team has been developing through NEH Research &amp; Development funding a web-based, modular, image markup tool for both semi-automated linking between encoded text and image of text, and image annotation. The software will be complete and ready for release in June 2011. <br /> <br /> The basic functionality of TILE is to create links between images and text that relates to that image – either annotations or transcriptions. We have paid particular attention to linking between image of text and transcription of text. These links may be made manually, but the project also includes an algorithm, written in JavaScript, for recognizing text within an image and automatically associating the coordinates with a Unicode transcription. Additionally, the tool can import and export transcriptions and links from and to a variety of metadata formats (TEI, METS, OWL) and will provide an API for developers to write mappings for additional formats. Of course, this functionality is immediately useful to a relatively limited set of editors of digital materials, but we have made modularity and extensibility primary goals of the project.<br /> <br /> Many members of the TILE development team are also members of the Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC), and have therefore attempted to develop TILE’s annotation features to be OAC compliant. Like OAC, TILE assumes that the text and the images to be linked may exist at separate and completely unconnected servers. When a user starts the TILE tool for the first time, she is prompted to supply a URI to a TILE compliant JSON file. <br /> <br /> TILE’s JSON is simple and thoroughly documented, and we provide several translators to map common existing metadata formats to the format. We have already created a PHP script that will generate TILE JSON from a TEI P5 document and are currently working to do the same for the METS files used in the Indiana University’s METS navigator tool. <br /> <br /> Additionally, TILE provides a modular exporting tool that allows users to run the work they’ve done in TILE through an external translator and then download the result to the client computer. For example, a user may import a set of images and transcripts from a METS file at the Library of Congress, use TILE to link images and text, and then export the result as a TEI file. The TEI file may then be reimported to TILE at a later data to further edit or convert the file.<br /> <br /> At Code4Lib, we will demonstrate the functionality of TILE and display a poster and provide handouts that describe the thinking behind TILE, how it is intended to be used, and details on how TILE is built and functions.<br /> <br /> == We Don’t Server Their Kind : Managing E-resources with Flat-File Databases ==<br /> * Junior Tidal, Multimedia and Web Services Librarian, New York City College of Technology, CUNY (jtidal at citytech dot cuny dot edu)<br /> Managing E-resources can be a daunting challenge. URLs, database names, and even vendors can change, go down, or simply cease to exist. My proposal involves the use of a PHP-based, flat-file database driven web tool for database management. The design of this program was to fulfill two needs: ease of use for librarians with a lack of programming experience and to meet the security and technical restrictions placed by the college’s IT department. My presentation will explore the development of this tool, challenges within its development, and future improvements. PHP code and the flat-file database will also be explained and provided to attendees. For a working demonstration feel free to visit the New York City College of Technology’s A-Z database [http://library.citytech.cuny.edu/research/AToZ/index.php page] or the subject database [http://library.citytech.cuny.edu/research/subject/index.php page].<br /> <br /> == Drupal 7 as a Rapid Application Development Tool ==<br /> <br /> * Cary Gordon, President, The Cherry Hill Company &amp; Board Member, The Drupal Association (cgordon at chillco dawt com)<br /> Five years ago, I discovered that the Drupal CMS had a programming framework disguised as an API, and learned that I could use it to solve problems.<br /> <br /> Drupal 7 builds on that to provide a powerful toolset for interfacing with, manipulating and presenting data. It empowers tool-builders by providing a minimal install option, along with a more powerful installation profile system makes it easier for developers to package and distribute their applications.<br /> <br /> == Helping Open Source Succeed ==<br /> <br /> * [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, [mailto:Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org] <br /> * Tim Daniels, LYRASIS, [mailto:Tim.Daniels@lyrasis.org Tim.Daniels@lyrasis.org]<br /> <br /> Deciding if open source is an option for your institution, or what open source software matches your institution’s needs and capabilities, is a complex decision. LYRASIS is developing a new area of focus to assist libraries with decision tools and an open source software registry. We want to learn from the creators of open source software what questions institutions have when considering the adoption of open source software and what information you would like to see in a registry that compares various open source tools. A summary of topics discussed in this session will be openly published as part of LYRASIS’ program development plans and decision support resources.<br /> <br /> The mission of the new and emerging LYRASIS Technology Services area is to serve members and the broader library community as a provider of expertise and capacity in open source based technology solutions. We think that viable roles for an organization supporting open source software are to: a) Increase understanding of open source technology within the library community, including value, benefits, risks, and costs; b) Assist in decision-making by providing resources to help libraries evaluate open source technologies, institutional readiness, and capacity for adoption; c) Support adoption and use of open source technologies and systems within libraries and consortia; d) Foster integration of open source software tools to expand the ability of existing programs to meet a range of library user needs; e) Develop and test new open source software programs, and contribute to the development of existing programs; f) Support long-term sustainability of viable, library-based open source software and systems. We recognize that these roles exist to some extent on a continuum, with latter services related to development and sustainability building on the knowledge and experience gained through deployment of existing open source systems. In turn, effective adoption and use depends on understanding open source systems and having resources to assist in decision-making and implementation.<br /> <br /> With open source software in the “innovator” and “early adopter” stages in the library community, we intend to focus its initial efforts on roles A-D in the above list: increased understanding, decision-support, and effective adoption and integration of existing library-focused open source systems. This session is focused on the decision-support services area of activity.<br /> <br /> The impact of this session is expected to be far reaching, if initially subtle. With most of the session time devoted to discussion and interaction among peers on questions surrounding the adoption of open source software, participants will take away a deeper understanding of topics each institution should consider when looking at open source software. These findings, along with that of similar sessions around the country, will inform the creation and expansion of the free decision support tools being developed by LYRASIS.<br /> <br /> == Letting in the light: using Solr as an external search component ==<br /> <br /> * Jay Luker, IT Specialist, ADS (jluker at cfa dot harvard dot edu)<br /> * Benoit Thiell, software developer, ADS (bthiell at cfa dot harvard dot edu)<br /> <br /> It’s well-established that [http://lucene.apache.org/solr/ Solr] provides an excellent foundation for building a faceted search engine. But what if your application’s foundation has already been constructed? How do you add Solr as a federated, fulltext search component to an existing system that already provides a full set of well-crafted scoring and ranking mechanisms?<br /> <br /> This talk will describe a work-in-progress project at the [http://adswww.harvard.edu/ Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System] to migrate its aging search platform to [http://invenio-software.org/ Invenio], an open-source institutional repository and digital library system originally developed at CERN, while at the same time incorporating Solr as an external component for both faceting and fulltext search.<br /> <br /> In this presentation we'll start with a short introduction of Invenio and then move on to the good stuff: an in-depth exploration of our use of Solr. We'll explain the challenges that we faced, what we learned about some particular Solr internals, interesting paths we chose not to follow, and the solutions we finally developed, including the creation of custom Solr request handlers and query parser classes.<br /> <br /> This presentation will be quite technical and will show a measure of horrible Java code. Benoit will probably run away during that part.<br /> <br /> == Working with DuraCloud: How to preserve your data in the cloud ==<br /> <br /> * Bill Branan, DuraSpace, bbranan at duraspace dot org<br /> * Andrew Woods, DuraSpace, awoods at duraspace dot org<br /> <br /> Ever expanding digital collections have become the norm in academic libraries. As the size of collections grow, the need for simple-to-deploy yet powerful preservation strategies becomes increasingly important. The [http://duracloud.org DuraCloud] project, a cloud-hosted service for data management and preservation, is committed to bringing the availability and elasticity of the cloud to bear on the issue of digital preservation. This session will discuss the APIs and tools which can be used to communicate and integrate with the DuraCloud platform, providing an immediate connection to scalable storage available from multiple cloud storage providers, configurable services which can be run over your content out-of-the-box, and a development platform which can serve as the basis for ongoing data mining and analysis.<br /> <br /> == Visualizing Library Data ==<br /> <br /> * Karen Coombs, OCLC, coombsk at oclc dot org<br /> <br /> Visualizations can be powerful tools to give context to library users<br /> and to provide a clear picture for data-driven decision-making in<br /> libraries. Map mashups, tag clouds and timelines can be used to show<br /> information to users in new ways and help them locate materials to meet<br /> their needs. QR codes can help link users to materials that libraries<br /> have in their collections. Charts and graphs can be used to help analyze<br /> library collections (holdings) and compare them to other libraries. This<br /> session will show prototypes which combine tools like Google Chart API,<br /> Protovis and Simile Widgets with data from WorldCat, WorldCat Registry,<br /> Classify, Terminology Services, and Dewey.info to create vivid<br /> illustrations in library user interfaces and administration tools.<br /> <br /> == Kuali OLE: Architecture for Diverse and Linked Data ==<br /> <br /> * Tim McGeary, Lehigh University, Kuali OLE Functional Council, tim dot mcgeary at lehigh dot edu<br /> * Brad Skiles, Project Manager, Kuali OLE, Indiana University, bradskil at indiana dot edu<br /> <br /> With programming scheduled to be begin in January 2011 on the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE), the Kuali OLE Functional Council is developing the requirements for an architecture for diverse data sets and linked data. With no frontrunner for one bibliographic data standard, and local requirements on what data will be accompanying or linked to the main record store, Kuali OLE needs to build a flexible environment for records management and access.<br /> <br /> We will present the concepts of our planned architecture, a multi-repository framework, using a document repository, a semantic repository, and a relational repository, brokered on top of the enterprise service bus of Kuali Rice. As a community source project, this is an opportunity for the Kuali OLE partners to present our plans for discussion with the community, and we look forward to feedback, questions, and comments. <br /> <br /> == One Week | One Tool: ultra-rapid open source development among strangers ==<br /> <br /> * Scott Hanrath, University of Kansas Libraries, shanrath at ku dot edu<br /> * Jason Casden, North Carolina State University Libraries, jason_casden at ncsu dot edu<br /> <br /> In summer 2010, the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, supported by an NEH Summer Institute grant, gathered 12 'digital humanists' for an intense week of collaboration they dubbed 'One Week | One Tool: a digital humanities barn raising.' The group -- several of whom hang their professional hats in libraries and most of whom were previously unacquainted -- was asked to spend one week together brainstorming, specifying, building, publicizing, and releasing an open source software tool of use to the digital humanities community. The result was Anthologize, a free, open source plugin that transforms WordPress into a platform for publishing electronic texts in formats including PDF, ePub, and TEI; in other words, a &quot;blog-to-book&quot; tool. This presentation will focus on how One Week | One Tool addressed the challenges of collaborative open source development. From the perspectives of two library coders on the team, we will describe and provide lessons learned from the One Week development process including: how the group structured itself without predefined roles; how the one week time frame and makeup of the group -- which included scholars, grad students, librarians, museum professionals, instructional technologists, and more -- influenced planning and development decisions; the roles of user experience and outreach efforts; the life of Anthologize since the end of the week; and thoughts on what a one week, one 'library' tool could look like.<br /> <br /> == Improving the presentation of library data using FRBR and linked data ==<br /> <br /> * Anne-Lena Westrum, Oslo Public Library (annelena at deichman dot no)<br /> * Asgeir Rekkavik, Oslo Public Library (asgeirr at deichman dot no)<br /> <br /> The Pode project at Oslo Public Library has experimented on the automated FRBRizing of catalogue records, as well as expressing bibliographic descriptions as linked data to enrich catalogue browsing with information from external sources.<br /> <br /> When a library enduser searches the online catalogue for works by a particular author, he will typically get a long list that contain all the different translations and editions of all the books by that author, sorted by title or date of issue. The Pode project applied a method of automated FRBRizing, based on the information contained in MARC records, RDF representation and SPARQL queries, to demonstrate how an author's complete production can be presented as a lucid list of unique works, that can easily be browsed by their different expressions and manifestations. Furthermore, by linking instances in the dataset to matching or corresponding instances in external sets, the presentation can be enriched with additional information about authors and works, as well as links to electronic full-text representations. <br /> <br /> The talk will also present the work on making an RDF representation of the catalogue records for the whole collection of non-fiction documents at the Norwegian Multilingual library, linking subject headings and Dewey classes, and allowing endusers to browse the collection by the multilingual Dewey class labels published by OCLC at http://dewey.info.<br /> <br /> The talk will focus on the challenges technological progresses such as these raise for cataloguers, to deliver consistent and standardized catalogue records. Many cataloguers have a local and pragmatic focus on the library's own and already existing services. Attitudes like this might represent a problem when emerging technologies find new applications for library catalogue data, as well as when the library wants to use data submitted by others to enrich their own services.<br /> <br /> == Touch and go: building a touch screen kiosk with software you already own ==<br /> <br /> * Andreas K. Orphanides, North Carolina State University Libraries, akorphan at ncsu dot edu<br /> <br /> In October 2010, the NCSU Libraries debuted its first public touch-screen information kiosk, designed to provide on-demand access to useful and commonly consulted real-time displays of library information. With the exception of the touchscreen itself, the system was created using commonly available free software and off-the-shelf hardware. In this presentation, I will describe the process for creating the touchscreen interface that is used in this kiosk. I will walk through the challenges of developing for a touch-optimized environment in HTML and JavaScript; I will describe how free utilities and web browser plugins may be combined to secure a public touchscreen kiosk; and I will present a data analysis of touchscreen usage since the kiosk's rollout to evaluate content selection and interface design.<br /> <br /> == Next-L Enju, NDL Search and library geeks in Japan ==<br /> <br /> * Kosuke Tanabe, Keio University, tanabe at mwr dot mediacom dot keio dot ac dot jp<br /> <br /> [http://github.com/next-l Next-L Enju ] is an open source integrated library system developed by Project Next-L, the library geek community in Japan launched on November 2006. It is built on open-source software (Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL/MySQL and Solr) and supports modern ILS features (e.g. FRBR structure and RESTful WebAPI).<br /> <br /> Enju has been inplemented by some libraries, which include National Diet Library (NDL), the largest library in Japan. NDL has chosen Enju to provide a new search engine, called &quot;NDL Search&quot; and added some extra features (e.g. automatic FRBRization and providing bibliographic data in a Linked Data format) . The development version is available at http://iss.ndl.go.jp/ .<br /> <br /> I'm one of the authors of Next-L Enju. I'd like to talk about the overview and structure of Next-L Enju, NDL Search and the activities of our project.<br /> <br /> == A community based approach to developing a Digital Exhibit at Notre Dame using the Hydra Framework ==<br /> <br /> * Rick Johnson, University of Notre Dame, (rick dot johnson at nd dot edu)<br /> * Dan Brubaker Horst, University of Notre Dame (dbrubak1 at nd dot edu)<br /> <br /> It was clear to us early on that the scope of managing, preserving, and interacting with digital content is too much for any one institution to conquer by itself. We realized that we need help. <br /> <br /> We were already fairly convinced using Fedora, Solr, and ActiveFedora were solid choices because of their strong development community and flexible robust solutions. We were also exploring Blacklight for search and browse for the same reasons. The open questions were:<br /> <br /> * What is the best way to put the pieces together?<br /> * How do you tackle the heterogenous content types and workflows without getting bogged down in each individual solution?<br /> <br /> Enter Code4Lib2010...<br /> <br /> After connecting with folks from the Hydra project at Code4Lib it was immediately clear that we had many things in common:<br /> * The same architectural choices: Fedora, Solr, ActiveFedora, Blacklight<br /> * Similar design philosophies<br /> * A need to work together <br /> * Too many shared use cases to ignore<br /> <br /> So, we jumped on board and have adopted the Hydra Framework for all of our Digital Repository efforts.<br /> <br /> In our presentation we will cover:<br /> * Why we chose to adopt the Hydra Framework instead of creating our own solution<br /> * Why the community based approach is so appealing<br /> * How we were welcomed into the Hydra development community<br /> * Why we chose to create something beyond basic Blacklight search and facet browse<br /> * How to create your own Digital Exhibit using Hydra including<br /> ** Metadata management<br /> ** Custom Browse and Search<br /> <br /> The Hydra Project is actively seeking partnerships with other institutions to extend its efforts.

Used by more than 600,000 academics and industry researchers, Mendeley enables researchers to arrange collaborative projects, work and discuss in groups, as well as share data across its web platform. Launched in London in December 2008, Mendeley is already the world’s largest research collaboration platform. Through this platform, we anonymously pools users’ research paper collections, creating a crowd-sourced research database with a unique layer of social information - each research paper is connected with socio-demographic information about its audience. <br /> <br /> Based on this platform and data, I will present three examples of how Mendeley is working to support university libraries and contribute to opening up academic research:<br /> 1) Mendeley’s integration as a workflow tool with institutional repositories with the aim of increasing IR deposit rates;<br /> 2) Application examples building on Mendeley’s API to showcase what is possible with the newly available type of usage data Mendeley is aggregating;<br /> 3) Preview of Mendeley’s library dashboard that will reveal content usage within an institution.<br /> <br /> I would also hope that a subsequent discussion can address how you (the attendees) could envision Mendeley’s future in the library tech community.<br /> <br /> == ArticlesPlus: Summon API Client Implementation and Integration with Drupal 6 ==<br /> <br /> * Albert Bertram, University of Michigan (bertrama@umich.edu)<br /> <br /> On September 27, 2010, the University of Michigan launched ArticlesPlus, an application for web-scale article discovery using the Serials Solutions' Summon service as its search engine. Rather than providing a search box which sent our patrons to the interface provided by Serials Solutions, we used Summon's API to integrate the search as a feature of our library's website. In addition to Summon as the search engine, we used our Drupal instance for the interface engine.<br /> <br /> I propose to talk about how we implemented the Summon API, the Drupal module we developed in to access the Summon API, problems with implementing an interface ourselves, benefits of implementing the interface ourselves, and plans for future expansion or improved integration in our website.<br /> <br /> == Let's Get Small: A Microservices Approach to Library Websites ==<br /> <br /> * Sean Hannan, Johns Hopkins University, shannan at jhu dot edu<br /> <br /> Most, if not all, library websites are housed and maintained in singular, monolithic content management systems. This is fantastic if the library website is the one place your users go for library information. But it isn't. Users are going to Facebook, checking mobile applications, browsing portals as well as checking the library website. Wouldn't it be great if you could update the information on all of these sites from a single source? Why maintain the library hours in five different places?<br /> <br /> In this talk, I will show how breaking the construction of the library website into as-needed, swappable microservices can free your content to live where it needs to, as well as free you from the maintenance headaches usually involved. What kind of microservices, you ask? Well, basic templating and styling is a given, but how about a microservice that gracefully degrades your layouts for older browsers? Or enforces highfalutin typographic rules? Or optimizes your site assets to improve load times? All wonderful little black boxes that allow you to focus on the website and its content, and not the details.<br /> <br /> I promise at least one diagram. That will burn your eyes.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Code4Lib2011]]<br /> <br /> == Sharing Between Data Repositories ==<br /> <br /> * Kevin S. Clarke, NESCent/Dryad Data Repository, ksclarke at nescent dot org<br /> <br /> Dryad (http://datadryad.org) is a generic subject repository that shares author submitted data with other scientific repositories. In a<br /> part &quot;how we done it&quot; and part &quot;things to consider&quot; talk, I'll discuss 1) why we chose BagIt and OAI-ORE as mechanisms for sharing our data, 2) how<br /> we've integrated with TreeBASE (http://www.treebase.org/ -- a subject repository of phylogenetic information), and 3) the possibility of this<br /> method of data sharing being adopted by other repositories within the larger DataONE community.<br /> <br /> There will be cake.<br /> <br /> == Hey, Dilbert. Where’s my data?! ==<br /> <br /> * Tommy Barker, University of Pennsylvania, tbarker at pobox dot upenn dot edu<br /> <br /> Libraries are notorious for maintaining data in massively disparate systems such as databases, flat files, xml and web services. The data is rich and valuable to assessment, but extracting value from multiple systems is complex and time consuming. Yes, there are open source and commercial solutions available, but libraries have unique requirements that can be difficult to integrate into these products. Commercial options also tend to be overly complex or the cool features require an expensive enterprise edition. <br /> <br /> With funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, UPenn is developing MetriDoc to address data integration headaches within the library, and support reporting requirements from management. MetriDoc’s mission is to provide an open source API / tool set where users can specify dataflows and use library based services to solve integration problems while MetriDoc worries about scalability and performance. MetriDoc accomplishes this with no complex xml configuration or scary SOA middleware, but instead uses a simple DSL where possible. Eventually the project will also include dashboards to assist with complex job management and data flow monitoring. <br /> <br /> The first half the presentation briefly discusses MetriDoc’s architecture while the remainder of the presentation will include code samples to illustrate problems it can solve. Information on how to contribute or download MetriDoc will be provided as well.<br /> <br /> == Open Data and the Biodiversity Heritage Library experience ==<br /> <br /> * Trish Rose-Sandler, Missouri Botanical Gardens, trish dot rose dash sandler at mobot dot org<br /> <br /> The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is an international consortium of the world’s leading natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries, and research institutions organized to digitize, serve, and preserve the legacy literature of biodiversity. From the beginning the BHL partners conceived of the BHL collection as being “open” – available to anyone regardless of geographic location or affiliation and a linked into a global Biodiversity Commons. This talk will discuss the basic principles of open data and use BHL as one example of how those principles have played out in a real world context. <br /> <br /> What does it mean for data to be “open” and what tools or services can enable this? Our metadata is purposely “open” so that others can harvest it and repurpose it in different contexts. We make it available through both OAI-PMH and APIs. <br /> <br /> If you “open” your data will they come? In some cases yes. BHL can give examples of scientists and science services, who have taken our data and exploited it for other purposes (e.g. BioStor, Earthcape, EOL, ZipcodeZoo) Yet, in a recent BHL survey we learned that of our frequent users, 42% were not aware that we provided APIs and 31% did not understand what APIs were. Clearly promotion of your open data is a key activity to making it truly useful.<br /> <br /> What are some advantages to open data? Harvestable data allows that data which was created for a specific purpose and audience (e.g. historic texts, nomenclatural services, encyclopedias) to interact with other data and serve new, previously unimagined, roles. For BHL, opening our data it was a desire to do three things 1) make biodiversity data available to foster scientific research 2) support the public use of these data and 3) build a web of science.<br /> <br /> == The Road to SRFdom: OpenSRF as Curation Microservices Architecture ==<br /> <br /> * Dan Coughlin, Penn State University (danny@psu.edu)<br /> * Mike Giarlo, Penn State University (michael@psu.edu)<br /> <br /> OpenSRF is the XMPP-based framework that underlies the Evergreen ILS, providing a service-oriented architecture with failover, load-balancing, and high availability. Curation microservices represent a new approach to digital curation in which typical repository functions such as storage, versioning, and fixity-checking are implemented as small, independent services. Put them together and what do you have? <br /> <br /> The next phase of Penn State's institutional digital stewardship program will involve prototyping a suite of curation services to enable users to manage and enrich their digital content -- we’re just about to get started on this, at the time this proposal was written. The curation services will be implemented following the microservices philosophy, and they will be stitched together via OpenSRF. We will talk about why we chose the “road to SRFdom,” colliding the ILS world with the repository world, how we implemented the curation services &amp; architecture, and how OpenSRF might be helpful to you. Code will be shown, beware.<br /> <br /> == The Constitution of Library: Intelligent Approaches to Composing Fine Grained Microservices ==<br /> <br /> * Simon Spero, (cthulhu at unc dot edu)<br /> ** Doctoral Student, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.<br /> ** Senior Partner, Spero Investigations. &quot;We Hope the Helpless&quot;. <br /> <br /> Abstract: As the amount of content &lt;del&gt;that's in&lt;/del&gt; that's supposed to be in institutional and other large scale repositories continues to grow, the performance requirements for a ubiquitous digital curation fabric become much harder to meet. At the same time, the policy requirements for managing this information become increasingly more complicated, and the additional staff available to support these requirements continues to be predominately unicorn-american. <br /> <br /> With requirements becoming more complicated, preservation actions need to be provided at a very fine granularity; however, composing these services into useful workflows becomes more and more complicated, and making sure that those workflows are supporting desired policy goals virtually impossible.<br /> <br /> This talk will describe proven technologies for for intelligent planning that have been used for tasks ranging from deploying armies to flying spacecraft (and less relevantly, for composing web services). The talk will also briefly overview some of the techniques used to optimize dynamic programming languages and HPC message passing systems, and suggest how they can be used to reduce or eliminate the overhead of fine grained microservices to support the rates of ingest and access needed to survive in a born-curated world.<br /> <br /> == Enhancing the Performance and Extensibility of the XC’s MetadataServicesToolkit ==<br /> <br /> * [http://tech.benanderson.us Ben Anderson], [http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/ eXtensible Catalog Organization], banderson@library.rochester.edu<br /> <br /> Learn how we increased the performance of the [http://code.google.com/p/xcmetadataservicestoolkit/ XC Metadata Services Toolkit] (MST) by over 900%. The MST is an open-source Java application, that uses SOLR and MySQL to harvest (OAI-PMH) library metadata (MARC, DC), clean it up, convert and frbrize, and then make new metadata (RDA flavor, XC Schema) available for harvesting. Our first release performed too slowly with degrading performance with large record batches and we needed to enable the MST to process a library’s entire catalog in a reasonable amount of time on a common server. The MST was also intended to be extensible. Libraries will almost certainly want to customize this process in some way. Thus our second goal was to make it is as easy as possible for a developer to write a service which can be plugged into the MST.<br /> <br /> In the spring of ‘10 we set out to accomplish our 2 goals. The first task was to establish how close the existing MST was to these goals. More concretely, our goal was to be able to process 1M MARC records/hr and have little to no degradation as the MST processed several million records. The first service in our chain of services, the normalization service, served as our initial metric. The normalization service was processing records at a speed of 125k/hr, much slower than we hoped for. On top of that, before processing 2M records, the MST essentially crawled to a halt. We were about an order of magnitude off and we needed to increase scalability in a substantial way as well. Also, examining the steps involved in writing a new service for the MST showed us that it was not easy to do so. Internals of the MST were exposed to the service developer and the developer was expected to re-implement much of this internal code with no instructions on how to do so. Much work needed to be done to abstract the implementation of the MST away from the service developer.<br /> <br /> Working hard over the course of several months, we were able to accomplish both of our goals. The MST is now processing records at a speed of 1.2M records/hr with no degradation on a set of 6M records on a less than optimal server (1.5GHz cpu). In this talk, I will detail the specifics of the strategies we used to accomplish this major speed enhancement (such as a shift from Apache SOLR to a hybrid SOLR/MySQL approach). In regards to our second goal, third party developers can now download an MST development environment, write a few lines of code, and package their service for deployment into the MST. Third party developers need not concern themselves with the details of the internal MST implementation. In this talk, I will also walk through [http://code.google.com/p/xcmetadataservicestoolkit/wiki/HowToImplementService the steps] required to write a service for the MST.<br /> <br /> == Free my DSpace Data! How to get your data out of DSpace 1.7 and restore your content after a disaster. ==<br /> <br /> * Tim Donohue, DuraSpace, tdonohue at duraspace dot org<br /> <br /> For a while, [http://www.dspace.org DSpace] has provided many means to get content into the system (or create new content in the system), e.g. basic ingest packages, user interfaces, SWORD. However, getting your content out of DSpace, especially for backups or migrations has often been problematic. In the past, although individual Items could be exported in standard formats, entire Collections or Communities (and the relationships between them) could not be as easily exported.<br /> <br /> DSpace 1.7.0 provides a new [https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/AipBackupRestore AIP Backup &amp; Restore feature] which allows DSpace to export '''all''' of its contents (Communities, Collections, Items, Groups, People, Permissions, and relationships between all objects) into a series of METS-based Archival Information Packages (AIPs). As these AIPs are just zip files, they can be backed up using your normal backup practices (e.g. to tape, hard-drive, or even to the cloud via a service like DuraCloud). As these AIPs also fully describe your DSpace contents, they can be used to restore your entire DSpace after a local server crash or larger disaster.<br /> <br /> DSpace created AIPs use standard library metadata formats like MODS, PREMIS and METSRights (along with a few DSpace-specific ones where a &quot;standard format&quot; doesn't yet exist) to describe all the content housed in your DSpace installation. This comes in handy, should you ever decide to migrate some or all of your contents to another DSpace instance or another system altogether.<br /> <br /> This talk will describe this new DSpace AIP Backup &amp; Restore feature, provide hints/tips on how it can be used to backup/restore/migrate data. Time permitting, I can also touch on the DSpace Roadmap and other ideas/plans to &quot;free your DSpace data&quot;.<br /> <br /> == Using cloud-based services to leverage open source software ==<br /> <br /> * Erik Mitchell, Wake Forest University, mitcheet at wfu dot edu<br /> <br /> Open source software and cloud computing systems are perceived as enticing technologies for both IT staff and IT/Academic administrators. The implementation of open source software or adoption of cloud services is often met with resistance however because of lack of technical expertise in smaller organizations or lack of perceived benefit in larger organizations. Although these technologies are not necessarily related when combined they offer easy deployment of services without significant organization investment or local expertise [http://cloud.lib.wfu.edu/blog/gazette/2010/11/04/finding-ways-to-combine-cloud-computing-and-open-source-software/]. This ability allows organizations to leverage open source systems without the overhead typically associated with &quot;free as in a free kitten.&quot;<br /> <br /> While there are some large national projects looking at using cloud platforms to deliver new services there is an opportunity for a grassroots effort to develop and support pre-configured application servers that are simple to deploy and maintain. These 'disposable' servers would serve the needs of both small and large libraries by enabling them to adopt open source software without taking on the requirement of local infrastructure, configuration, or detailed support. <br /> <br /> This presentation will cover the technical details and lessons learned from efforts to create this type of service [http://cloud.lib.wfu.edu/blog/tech/2010/11/01/running-the-zsr-vufind-application-server/] on the Amazon EC2 platform and discuss the impact of this approach on open software adoption and its potential impact on IT support in libraries.<br /> <br /> == VIVO: Enabling National Networking of Scientists ==<br /> <br /> * Brian Keese, Indiana University, bkeese at indiana dot edu<br /> <br /> VIVO is an open-source semantic Web application that enables the discovery of research and scholarship across disciplines at an institution. Originally developed from 2003-2009 by Cornell University, in September 2009 the National Institute of Health's National Center for Research Resources made a grant to the University of Florida [http://vivo.ufl.edu], Cornell University [http://vivo.cornell.edu], Indiana University Bloomington [http://vivo.iu.edu], and four implementation partners to use VIVO to create a national network for scientists[http://www.vivoweb.org]. This network will allow researchers to discover potential collaborators with specific expertise, based on authoritative information on projects, grants, publications, affiliations, and research interests, essentially creating a social network for browsing, visualizing, and discovering scientists. This talk will give an overview of the technical underpinnings of VIVO, describe how it integrates with the larger semantic Web, sketch out the plans for enabling discovery across the national network of VIVO sites, and explore the role of libraries in implementing VIVO at all the partner sites. Additionally we will demonstrate some experiments in federated searching that have been undertaken by the VIVO network and the NIH funded Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) consortium network of networks.<br /> <br /> == Mass Moves with Worldcat APIs ==<br /> * Sam Kome, Claremont Colleges Library, sam.kome at cuc dot claremont dot edu<br /> <br /> Claremont needed to perform a mass evaluation of item level records to facilitate large scale collection moves and de-accession. Our de-accession criteria, for example, include that 3 or more copies of any book must be available in the 50+ libraries in our Link+ network. We addressed our requirements with the help of the OCLC Worldcat Search and xID APIs and a couple simple python scripts. The process was ultimately a success. We will present our approach, code, and the lessons learned as we discovered limits inherent in the APIs and in our own coding (in)experience. Bonus sub-topic: the use of OCLC Work ID to identify and coalesce alternative ISBNs.<br /> <br /> <br /> == A Simple Algorithm for User Query Classification &amp; Resource Recommendation ==<br /> * Josh Bishoff, University of Illinois, bishoff2 at illinois dot edu<br /> <br /> One of the longstanding problems in library services is how we might automatically direct users to the most appropriate personnel, databases or facilities to meet their information need. Utilizing the faceted navigation features of various next-gen catalogs, we can efficiently &amp; very accurately assign subject domains to user search queries. <br /> <br /> For example: if a user searches “Gallium Arsenide” in the library discovery layer, we can first broadcast this query to a suitably large OPAC and receive the following subject distribution:<br /> <br /> -Engineering &amp; Technology: 45%<br /> <br /> -Physical Sciences: 21%<br /> <br /> -Education: 9%<br /> <br /> …and so on. <br /> <br /> By leveraging the cataloging efforts that have classified large collections, we can efficiently classify queries with a high rate of accuracy. By applying this approach to the library discovery layer, we can offer users tailored result sets from subject-specific A &amp; I services. We can also recommend subject specialists &amp; most appropriate campus libraries.<br /> <br /> This presentation will discuss the technical challenges of implementing such a system and the trouble with mapping traditional subject classifications to non-book resources (databases, people, buildings, etc.). The dangers of ''incorrect'' automatic query classification will be discussed, along with strategies to combat this. A functional system will be demonstrated and code will be made available.<br /> <br /> == Beyond Sacrilege: A CouchApp Catalog ==<br /> * Gabriel Farrell, Drexel University, g@grrawr.com<br /> At Code4LibCon2008 Dan Scott gave us a taste of yummy CouchDB, a document-oriented database with a RESTful JSON API (http://couchdb.org/). Since then, CouchDB has passed the 1.0 mark and landed on desktops, the cloud, and mobile devices. With the advent of CouchApps (web apps served directly from CouchDB) applications can be built that are as easy to install as the replicating of databases (which is super easy!). I'll discuss the advantages and challenges in designing a CouchApp to be used as a catalog, repository, or directory of resources. Some things are made fairly simple, such as site templating, the outputting of documents in different formats, and the attachment of binary objects to documents. Some things, like document versioning and the modeling of data, are a little trickier, but still straightforward. And some things, such as granular authentication and the integration of search, are tangled enough to produce some head-on-wall banging. But hey, take it easy. It’s time to relax.<br /> <br /> Check out some code at http://github.com/gsf/catlg.<br /> <br /> == (Yet Another) Home-Grown Digital Library System, Built Upon Open Source XML Technologies and Metadata Standards ==<br /> * David Lacy, Library Software Development Specialist, Villanova University (david dot lacy at villanova dot edu)<br /> We have recently rearchitected our homegrown digital library utilizing an all-XML framework. The system is comprised of a data repository residing in a native XML database (eXist-DB), a metadata editor constructed using a Java-based XForms processor (Orbeon Forms), and a series of services for image manipulation, OCR processing and OAI-PMH serving. In this talk, I will detail our workflow process from scanning to online publishing, demonstrate the software's flexible configuration and features, and how these steps allow rapid digital preservation and online access. Oh, and it's open source, so I'll show you where to get it as well.<br /> <br /> ==Programming Latent Semantic Analysis for Large Digital Corpora==<br /> * Wally Hooper, Indiana University (whooper@indiana.edu)<br /> * Kirk Hess, Indiana University (kirhess@indiana.edu)<br /> <br /> The Chymistry of Isaac Newton Project [http://www.chymistry.org http://www.chymistry.org] is publishing one hundred eighteen alchemical manuscripts written by Isaac Newton, thirty-two of which are now publically available using TEI and Unicode encodings, and served using the eXtensible Text Framework (XTF) engine [http://www.cdlib.org/services/publishing/tools/xtf/]. The National Science Foundation has funded a three-year project (2009–12, #0620868) to develop computational tools for the analysis of the alchemical language in Newton alchemical corpus. This project is applying computational tools from the fields of computational linguistics, information retrieval, and network sciences to mine and analyze Newton’s manuscripts. <br /> <br /> One technique, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), has been used by the project to create a set of tools to discover the semantic structure and organization of the corpus of text, and has discovered shared passages, phrases, and technical vocabulary across the corpus. We thought many projects with tei data might want to do LSA, but may not know how. We’ll discuss creating tools for LSA to analyze tei encoded text using xsl, perl, php, a mathematical/statistical software package (e.g. Matlab), and having a supercomputer handy is helpful but not required! We'll walk through our method for chunking text, building a term document matrix, executing singular value decomposition and outputting that data as correlated document pairs and in Graphml format so it can be analyzed in a network analysis and vizualization tool (e.g. Network Workbench)[http://nwb.slis.indiana.edu].<br /> <br /> == Adventures In Implementing an Extended FRBR Model ==<br /> * PaulBen McElwain, Digital Library Program, Indiana University (pbmcelwa at indiana dot edu)<br /> The Variations/FRBR Project (http://vfrbr.info) has developed an implementation of an extended FRBR/FRAD conceptual model.<br /> <br /> The model encompasses the entities defined in FRBR along with some further entities from FRAD, the attributes defined for those entities, and the relationships between the entities. One extension to the FRBR model is through the addition of some entity attributes needed for MARC attributes important to collections of recorded music. But the most interesting, and challenging, extension (from a data model perspective) is the addition of a structured set of properties for the attributes of the entities, and properties for the entity relationships. The place of publication/distribution, for instance, can include properties for type, jurisdiction, normalized value, and source vocabulary, all in addition to the string value of the place.<br /> <br /> The model was defined in XML Schema and then implemented in a Java class structure with a relational database for persistence. The implemented data service currently supports a user search application, data exports in multiple structured formats (FRBR XML, RDF/XML), and is also designed to support an interactive cataloging interface.<br /> <br /> The presentation discusses the model designs developed, the technologies considered, and the implementations produced. This presentation should be of interest to other projects considering complex models of shared hierarchies implemented across XML Schema, Java, and relational data stores (via JPA).<br /> <br /> == Web Services and Library Systems ==<br /> <br /> * Denis Galvin, Rice University, dgalvin at rice dot edu<br /> * Mang Sun, Rice University, mang dot sun at rice dot edu<br /> <br /> Web Services are ideal for ingesting and reformatting information. Whereas traditional Library systems like the ILS are rigid, Web Services are flexible. New interfaces can be created to display both catalog records and patron services. Item information can be integrated into third party systems like discovery layers. Web Services also represent an industry standard approach to systems integration. They offer the opportunity to bring together library operations with business systems.<br /> <br /> Currently Rice University is experimenting with Web Services for its mobile OPAC. Two interfaces have been created, one for catalog searching and one for patron services. They are lightweight and ideal for mobile devices. In this session we will talk about how libraries can and might use Web Services now and in the future.<br /> <br /> == GIS on the Cheap ==<br /> <br /> * Mike Graves, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, gravm at email dot unc dot edu<br /> <br /> Using a few tools that you probably already have laying around your library I'll show how OpenLayers [http://www.openlayers.org/] can be used to create a dynamic interface for browsing and searching your digital collections geographically. With very little effort Solr can be made to serve up results directly into OpenLayers creating all sorts of mapping possibilities. With a little more effort a Postgres database can handle complex polygon searches [http://dc.lib.unc.edu/ncmaps/search.php]. I'll talk about how we're developing a lightweight GIS framework to provide a new user experience for interacting with a number of our collections in unique ways.<br /> <br /> == Building an Open Source Staff-facing Tablet App for Library Assessment ==<br /> <br /> * Jason Casden, NCSU Libraries, jason_casden at ncsu dot edu <br /> * Joyce Chapman, NCSU Libraries, joyce_chapman at ncsu dot edu <br /> <br /> Many libraries currently produce manual headcounts or activity counts for physical spaces in order to better understand patron needs as well as the use of spaces and services, but struggle with the difficulties of collecting data on more than one aspect of use, as well as organizing and analyzing the resulting data. The availability of tablet devices, such as the Apple iPad, has created an opportunity to simplify and encourage the collection of fine-grained data about the use of library physical spaces. The streamlined collection and centralized management of space usage data could also enable more sophisticated and rapid quantitative assessment methods that would significantly reduce the technical barriers for librarians to employ space usage data for assessment.<br /> <br /> This talk will present a library assessment and software development perspective on the creation and utility of an open source tablet-based tool for collecting and analyzing data about the use of library physical spaces. Building on recent experience developing web-based and native-iPhone library apps, we will discuss complicating implementation-related issues such as platform dependence, intermittent network coverage (data caching), and centralized data synchronization with multiple collectors. HTML5 and co-evolving technologies (specifically, Web SQL client-side storage) can be utilized to balance the various advantages of web-based apps with the performance of native apps, but implementation choices can directly impact both the types of data that can be collected and the cost of adoption of an open source release. Finally, we will use an early prototype of this tool to demonstrate some new assessment possibilities.<br /> <br /> == APPLICATIONS AT THE HEART OF A NEW PUBLISHING ECOSYSTEM ==<br /> <br /> * Rafael Sidi, VP Product Management, Elsevier (r.sidi@elsevier.com)<br /> <br /> During the last decade, computing developments in information discovery have had a significant impact on the research breakthroughs that enhance our society. In the course of thousands of interviews with researchers, developers and industry influencers, we uncovered trends that are shaping lean research globally – workflow efficiencies, funding pressures, government policies and global competition. We also looked at key trends defining the future of web – openness and interoperability, personalization, and collaboration and trusted views, and saw an opportunity to create an ecosystem that empowers the scientific community to innovate, create and discover applications that leverage scientific literature to improved their search and discovery process.<br /> <br /> This session explores this new ecosystem that enables developers, researchers and research institutions to develop applications that leverage public domain and licensed content. We will talk about a platform that enables collaboration with the scientific community- researchers and developers- on solutions that target specific researcher interests and workflows. We will explain how publishers can offer their content through APIs and how publishers and platform providers can present developers with application building tools. This ecosystem will create a channel where developers can collaborate with researchers in developing new applications. These same publishers and platform providers have an opportunity to serve as the host of the new scientific knowledge ecosystem that is evolving. This fresh approach in scientific publishing would set a new paradigm in the way research information is discovered, used, shared and re-used to accelerate science.<br /> <br /> == Enhancing the Mobile Experience: Mobile Library Services at Illinois == <br /> <br /> * Josh Bishoff, University of Illinois, bishoff2 at illinois dot edu<br /> <br /> The University of Illinois Libraries launched a mobile interface in Spring 2010 that includes a custom mobile catalog layer built on top of VuFind ([http://m.library.illinois.edu]). It allows patrons to request books for delivery, to browse the local and CARLI consortium catalogs, and access account information for renewal &amp; checking hold status. This presentation will focus on new features designed to add value for the mobile user, such as adding Google map links to catalog records, offering current information for campus bus stops, and automatic device detection for users accessing the full-sized library gateway from their mobile device. I’ll discuss how developing for the mobile context, and talking to mobile users, has informed the further development &amp; improvement of library web services overall.<br /> <br /> == Reuse of Archival Description for Digital Objects ==<br /> <br /> * Jason Ronallo, NCSU Libraries, jason_ronallo at ncsu dot edu<br /> <br /> In order to deal with the modern records explosion, archives have devised methods of processing and describing materials at a broad level, rather than at the item-level. This has culminated in what’s becoming a widely adopted approach to archival processing called &quot;More Product, Less Process,&quot; where less fine-grained descriptive metadata is created. Except for highly valued materials which may still receive detailed archival description--think Thomas Jefferson's letters--this approach usually does not enable item-level discovery through an archival finding aid. However, it does make collections more readily available and helps repositories move through backlogs of unprocessed collections. Some in the profession have begun to advocate for a similar approach to the digitization of archival and manuscript materials. A growing trend in digitization is the large scale digitization of collections, where the creation of discovery-enabling detailed descriptive metadata for every object is traded for the rapid access to large swaths of collections. <br /> <br /> Reuse of archival description for digital objects can help streamline that workflow as well as improve access. What is meant by reusing archival description for digital objects? What does it look like in practice? What new tools can be developed to support this approach to descriptive metadata?<br /> <br /> This talk will be an exploration of the interplay of archival description and descriptive metadata for digital objects. The focus will be on the tools and challenges in automating this workflow. Examples will draw from the work at NCSU Libraries with the Special Collections Research Center and include coverage of currently used tools, including locally-developed open-source, as well as future directions for development. Topics covered will include:<br /> * Necessary preconditions and conventions for this to work<br /> * Reuse of archival description from EAD XML for digital objects with simple tools<br /> * Generation of stub descriptive metadata records for digital objects<br /> * The continual refresh of metadata in the access layer throughout its lifecycle<br /> * Later enhancement of (select?) stub records<br /> * Reuse of enhanced digital object description in finding aids<br /> * Future directions?<br /> <br /> These emerging practices present challenges for potential change to:<br /> * Archival description and practice<br /> * Encoded Archival Description<br /> * Tools for archival description (e.g. Archon and Archivists’ Toolkit)<br /> * Identifier schemes and resolvers<br /> * Search and discovery interfaces for public access to collections<br /> * Search engine optimization<br /> <br /> ==Chicago Underground Library’s Community-Based Cataloging System==<br /> <br /> * Margaret Heller, Chicago Underground Library/Dominican University (mheller@dom.edu)<br /> * Nell Taylor, Chicago Underground Library (nell@underground-library.org)<br /> <br /> http://www.underground-library.org (until November 15, you will need to add /catalog to see the actual catalog)<br /> <br /> We have developed a unique cataloging and discovery system using Drupal, which we eventually hope to provide as a standalone module that any organization can implement as both a technical and theoretical template to start an Underground Library in its own city. Chicago Underground Library (CUL) is a replicable model for community collections. It uses the lens of an archive to examine the creative, political, and intellectual interdependencies of a city, tracing how people have worked together, who influenced whom, where ideas first developed, and how they spread from one publication to another through individuals. <br /> <br /> Cataloging is done by members of the community, and so the system is designed to be intuitive for non-librarians. Our indexing method captures every single contributor (authors, editors, typesetters, illustrators, etc.) and catalogers create exhaustive folksonomy lists of subjects so that users can see how publications are linked by threads of influence. Users are able to search all of the individuals and subjects, click on contributors’ names and find everything else they’ve worked on throughout their careers, look on a map at where each publication came from and see what’s been published in their neighborhood, and also provide their own historical notes and additions to any catalog entry. Many of the publications in our collection have incomplete data sets because the people who made them never expected them to wind up in a library. We will be proactively reaching out to people in the community to share their knowledge of different publications in the catalog. For instance, they will contribute stories about where a magazine might have been distributed, who we’re missing from the masthead, where the publisher’s office might have moved to, which publications hosted readings together, etc. Our catalogers will use these contextual comments to glean more metadata for the catalog entry, but will leave up all the comments and anecdotes as part of the record. In effect, we want to create a social network that builds a library catalog, and vice versa.<br /> <br /> At Code4Lib, we will present our current system, discuss the challenges we face, and our future development plans.<br /> <br /> == Practical Relevancy Testing ==<br /> <br /> * Naomi Dushay, Stanford University Libraries (ndushay at stanford dot edu)<br /> <br /> Evaluating search result relevancy is difficult for any sizable amount of data, since human vetted ideal search results are essentially non-existent. This is true even for library collections, despite dedicated librarians and their familiarity with the collections.<br /> <br /> So how can we evaluate if search engine configuration changes (e.g. boosting, field analysis, search analysis settings) are an improvement? How can we ensure the results for query A don’t degrade while we try to improve results for query B? <br /> <br /> Why yes, Virginia, automatable tests &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; the answer. <br /> <br /> This talk will show you how you can easily write these tests from your hidden goldmine of human vetted relevancy rankings.<br /> <br /> == LibX 2.0 and the LibX Libapp Builder ==<br /> <br /> * Godmar Back, Virginia Tech, godmar@gmail.com<br /> * Brian Nicholson, Virginia Tech, brn@vt.edu<br /> <br /> LibX is a platform for delivering library services that require a client-side presence, such as toolbars, <br /> context menus, and content scripts. These services integrate library-related resources (links, results, tutorials) <br /> into those web pages your users use when they don't go through the library's portals. While LibX 1.5 was mostly<br /> used as a toolbar to represent a library's OPAC, LibX 2.0's focus is on simplifying the creation and distribution<br /> of content scripts, which we call LibApps. The LibX Edition Builder allows librarians, even those who<br /> prefer not to program, to independently create and distribute LibX editions for their user communities.<br /> <br /> In a similar vein, the LibX LibApp Builder allows librarians to independently create and manage LibApps <br /> for their user communities and share them with others. This talk will discuss the design and implementation <br /> of the LibApp builder. We will also show how LibApps can be created to link the user's web experience to<br /> modern discovery systems such as Summon in a smart and non-obtrusive way.<br /> <br /> == Describing Digital Collections at the Free Library ==<br /> <br /> * Daria Norris, Free Library of Philadelphia, norrisla at freelibrary dot org<br /> <br /> The Free Library of Philadelphia has developed a Digital Collections content management system and search engine to describe the scholarly and historical items we are digitizing and making available on our web site. This application has evolved into a highly customizable way of setting up the metadata requirements of each individual collection while also conforming to the Dublin Core standard. The collections are diverse and include scans of medieval manuscripts, historical photographs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania German fraktur, automobile reference photos and more. Development has also included the integration of authorities like the Getty Thesauri and the LOC's Thesaurus for Graphic Materials in a library that can also be used in other applications. I'll also discuss our future plans for the project.<br /> <br /> == Lessons from the Hydra Community: cultivating a large, distributed, agile, open source developer network ==<br /> <br /> * Matt Zumwalt, MediaShelf &amp; Hydra Project, matt.zumwalt at yourmediashelf dot com<br /> * Bess Sadler, Stanford University, Hydra Project &amp; Project Blacklight, bess at stanford dot edu<br /> <br /> When we set out to create the [http://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/The+Hydra+Project Hydra framework] in 2009, we knew that building a strong developer community would be as important as releasing quality code. By August 2010 when we released the Beta version of [http://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/Hydrangea Hydrangea] (the Hydra reference implementation) Ohloh already rated our committers as &quot;one of the largest open-source teams in the world&quot; and placed it &quot;in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh.&quot; [see [http://www.ohloh.net/p/hydrangea/factoids/3944567 ohloh.com]] In the 3 months following that release, the number of active committers jumped even higher and the number of subsidiary projects quadrupled. This early success is the product of a concerted, collaborative effort that has incorporated input from many participants and advisors.<br /> <br /> Over these first 18 months of work on Hydra, we have cobbled together a formidable list of principles and best practices for developers and for our whole community. Many of these best practices easily translate to any development effort. They are especially applicable to distributed open source teams using agile development methodologies.<br /> <br /> Building and sustaining a community is an ongoing learning process. We have already learned a great amount -- most Hydra participants agree that working on this project has made us better at our jobs. We would like to share what we have learned thus far and get feedback about where to go from here.<br /> <br /> == Opinionated Metadata (OM): Bringing a bit of sanity to the world of XML Metadata ==<br /> <br /> * Matt Zumwalt, MediaShelf &amp; Hydra Project, matt.zumwalt at yourmediashelf dot com<br /> <br /> [http://rubygems.org/gems/om Opinionated Metadata] (OM) grew from discussions at Code4Lib 2010. It's now an integral component in the [http://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/The+Hydra+Framework+and+its+Parts Hydra Framework]. Unlike most XML solutions, which start from schemas and build outwards, OM allows you to start from the natural vocabulary that emerges in user stories. Based on the terms that show up in those user stories, you can use OM to create a Terminology that maps each term to nodes in schema-driven XML. This Terminology then serves as a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for your code to rely on. Using that Terminology, you can:<br /> <br /> * Generate absolute and relative xpath queries for each term <br /> * Generate complex xpath queries for nested terms (ie. query a mods document for the &quot;first name&quot; of the second &quot;person&quot; entry OR query for all of the &quot;person&quot; entries whose &quot;role&quot; is &quot;creator&quot;)<br /> * Validate xml documents against a schema (if one is associated with the Terminology)<br /> * Query an xml document for all values corresponding to a given term<br /> * Update the values in an xml document corresponding to a given term<br /> * Insert new nodes corresponding to a given term into an xml document<br /> * Generate solr field names appropriate for indexing a term<br /> <br /> OM borrows some characteristics from the XUpdate Language and is in part inspired by XForms. It is also strongly influenced by the agile, user-driven development methodologies of tools like Ruby on Rails. It puts the strengths of these technologies at your disposal in flexible, maintainable ways.<br /> <br /> Internally, OM works as an extension to Nokogiri (a complete Ruby wrapper for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries). It gives you access to the full power of those underlying libraries, including a complete XPath implementation, while transparently handling the idiosyncrasies of those libraries and the XPath language for you. <br /> <br /> While OM is just a library, it can be used in a web application to create, retrieve, update and delete XML documents. Within Hydra, we have implemented a full stack that uses OM to read XML documents, populate an HTML form, accept updates via a REST API, and update the XML accordingly.</div>

<p>Lbjay: </p> <hr /> <div>Deadline for talk submission is ''Saturday, November 13''. See [http://www.mail-archive.com/code4lib@listserv.nd.edu/msg08878.html this mailing list post for more details], or the general [http://code4lib.org/conference/2011 Code4Lib 2011] page.<br /> <br /> See the [http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2011talkscall_Call_for_Submissions Call for Submissions] for guidelines on appropriate topic talks and the criteria on which submissions are evaluated.<br /> <br /> Please follow the formatting guidelines:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> == Talk Title: ==<br /> <br /> * Speaker's name, affiliation, and email address<br /> * Second speaker's name, affiliation, email address, if second speaker<br /> <br /> Abstract of no more than 500 words.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == How &quot;great&quot; are the Great Books? ==<br /> <br /> * Eric Lease Morgan, University of Notre Dame (emorgan at nd.edu)<br /> <br /> In the 1960s a set of books called the Great Books of the Western World was published. It was supposed to represent the best of Western literature and enable the reader to further their liberal arts education. Sixty volumes in all, it included works by Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Milton, Galileo, Kepler, Melville, Darwin, etc. These great books were selected based on the way they discussed a set of 102 &quot;great ideas&quot; such as art, astronomy, beauty, evil, evolution, mind, nature, poetry, revolution, science, will, wisdom, etc. How &quot;great&quot; are these books, and how &quot;great&quot; are the ideas expressed in them?<br /> <br /> Given full text versions of these books it is almost trivial to use the &quot;great ideas&quot; as input and apply relevancy ranking algorithms against the texts thus creating a sort of score -- a &quot;Great Ideas Coefficient&quot;. Term Frequency/Inverse Document Frequency (TFIDF) is a well-established algorithm for computing just this sort of thing:<br /> <br /> relevancy = ( c / t ) * log( d / f ) where:<br /> <br /> * c = number of times a given word appears in a document<br /> * t = total number of words in a document<br /> * d = total number of documents in a corpus<br /> * f = total number of documents containing a given word<br /> <br /> Thus, to calculate our Great Ideas Coefficient I sum the relevancy score for each &quot;great idea&quot; for each &quot;great book&quot;. Plato's Republic might have a cumulative score of 525 while Aristotle's On The History Of Animals might have a cumulative score of 251. Books with a larger Coefficient could be considered greater. Given such a score a person could measure a book's &quot;greatness&quot;. We could then compare the score to the scores of other books. Which book is the &quot;greatest&quot;? We could compare the score to other measurable things such as book's length or date to see if there were correlations. Are &quot;great books&quot; longer or shorter than others? Do longer books contain more &quot;great ideas&quot;? Are there other books that were not included in the set that maybe should have been included?<br /> <br /> The first part of this talk describes the different steps involved in the text pre-processing to calculate an accurate TFIDF value for each item of the corpus. The results and statistical analysis are discussed in the second part. Finally I will outline the remaining work such as refining the analysis and extending the current quantitative process to a web implementation.<br /> <br /> == UNR BookFinder: Leveraging Google Books to Move Beyond Catalog Search ==<br /> * Will Kurt, University of Nevada, Reno, (wkurt at unr.edu)<br /> Google Books is a great tool, but it lacks an easy method allowing users to access the items they find through their library. The UNR BookFinder is a mashup of the Google Books and WorldCat APIs (and some ugly hacks) which allows users to search for items with the power of Google’s fulltext search while eliminating the need to search all of the library’s various resources to find an item. The UNR BookFinder automatically searches the catalog and consortial ILL for the item, if these fail an ILLiad request form as automatically filled out. The end result is that the user can explore an universe of books and access them as fast as possible through the university library. A video of the alpha version can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqcUSTtdVk here].<br /> <br /> == Moving a large multi-tiered search architecture from dedicated hosts to the cloud ==<br /> * Peter Ciuffetti, Senior Software Engineer, Credo Reference Ltd. (pete at credoreference.com)<br /> So you want to move a large production search service from dedicated hosts to the cloud? The flexibility is enticing, the costs are attractive, the geek cred is undeniable. Our cloud adventure came with many undocumented surprises ranging from mysterious server behavior to sales engineers suggesting that 'maybe the cloud isn't for you'. We eventually made it all work and our production service is now on the cloud. This talk will cover what the cloud product FAQs don't say, what their tech support doesn't know (or won't say) and mistakes you can avoid by talking to the guys with the arrows in their backs.<br /> <br /> == VuFind Beyond MARC: Discovering Everything Else ==<br /> * Demian Katz, Library Technology Development Specialist, Villanova University (demian dot katz at villanova dot edu)<br /> The VuFind[http://vufind.org] discovery layer has been providing a user-friendly interface to MARC records for several years now. However, library data consists of more than just MARC records, and VuFind has grown to accommodate just about anything you can throw at it. This presentation will examine the new workflows and tools that enable discovery of non-MARC resources and some of the non-traditional applications of VuFind that they make possible. Technologies covered will include OAI-PMH, XSLT, Aperture, Solr and, of course, VuFind itself.<br /> <br /> == Linked data apps for medical professionals ==<br /> * Rurik Thomas Greenall, NTNU Library, (rurik dot greenall at ub dot ntnu dot no)<br /> The promise of linked data for libraries has yet to be realized, as a demonstration of the power of RDF, HTTP-URIs and SPARQL, NTNU Library together with the Norwegian Electronic Health Library produced a linked data representation of MeSH and created a small translation app that can be used to help health professionals identify the right term and apply it in their database searches. This talk presents the simple ways in which the core technologies and concepts in linked data provide a solid, time-saving way of developing usable applications.<br /> <br /> == fiwalk With Me: Building Emergent Pre-Ingest Workflows for Digital Archival Records using Open Source Forensic Software ==<br /> * Mark A. Matienzo, Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library (mark at matienzo dot org)<br /> Many of the complications of born-digital records involve preparing them for transfer into a storage or preservation environment. Digital evidence of any kind is easily susceptible to unintentional and intentional modification. This presentation will describe the use of open source forensic software in pre-ingest workflows for digital archives. Digital archivists and other digital curation practitioners can develop emergent processes to prepare records for ingest and transfer using a combination of relatively simple tools. The granularity and simplicity of these tools and procedures provides the possibility for their smooth integration into a digital curation environment built on micro-services.<br /> == Why (Code4) Libraries Exist ==<br /> * Eric Hellman, President, Gluejar, Inc. (eric at hellman dot net)<br /> Libraries have historically delivered value to society by facilitating the sharing of books. The library &quot;brand&quot; is built around the building and exploitation of their collections. These collections have been acquired and owned. As ebook readers become the preferred consumption platform for books, libraries are beginning to come to terms with the fact that they don't own their digital collections, and can't share books as they'd like to. Yet libraries continue to be valuable in many ways. In this transitional period, only one thing can save libraries from irrelevance and dissipation: Code.<br /> == The Story of TILE: Making Modular &amp; Reusable Tools ==<br /> * Doug Reside, MITH, University of Maryland (dougreside at gmail dot com)<br /> <br /> The Text Image Linking Environment (TILE) is a collaborative project between the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH), the Digital Library Program at Indiana University, and the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University Bloomington. Since May 2009, the TILE project team has been developing through NEH Research &amp; Development funding a web-based, modular, image markup tool for both semi-automated linking between encoded text and image of text, and image annotation. The software will be complete and ready for release in June 2011. <br /> <br /> The basic functionality of TILE is to create links between images and text that relates to that image – either annotations or transcriptions. We have paid particular attention to linking between image of text and transcription of text. These links may be made manually, but the project also includes an algorithm, written in JavaScript, for recognizing text within an image and automatically associating the coordinates with a Unicode transcription. Additionally, the tool can import and export transcriptions and links from and to a variety of metadata formats (TEI, METS, OWL) and will provide an API for developers to write mappings for additional formats. Of course, this functionality is immediately useful to a relatively limited set of editors of digital materials, but we have made modularity and extensibility primary goals of the project.<br /> <br /> Many members of the TILE development team are also members of the Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC), and have therefore attempted to develop TILE’s annotation features to be OAC compliant. Like OAC, TILE assumes that the text and the images to be linked may exist at separate and completely unconnected servers. When a user starts the TILE tool for the first time, she is prompted to supply a URI to a TILE compliant JSON file. <br /> <br /> TILE’s JSON is simple and thoroughly documented, and we provide several translators to map common existing metadata formats to the format. We have already created a PHP script that will generate TILE JSON from a TEI P5 document and are currently working to do the same for the METS files used in the Indiana University’s METS navigator tool. <br /> <br /> Additionally, TILE provides a modular exporting tool that allows users to run the work they’ve done in TILE through an external translator and then download the result to the client computer. For example, a user may import a set of images and transcripts from a METS file at the Library of Congress, use TILE to link images and text, and then export the result as a TEI file. The TEI file may then be reimported to TILE at a later data to further edit or convert the file.<br /> <br /> At Code4Lib, we will demonstrate the functionality of TILE and display a poster and provide handouts that describe the thinking behind TILE, how it is intended to be used, and details on how TILE is built and functions.<br /> <br /> == We Don’t Server Their Kind : Managing E-resources with Flat-File Databases ==<br /> * Junior Tidal, Multimedia and Web Services Librarian, New York City College of Technology, CUNY (jtidal at citytech dot cuny dot edu)<br /> Managing E-resources can be a daunting challenge. URLs, database names, and even vendors can change, go down, or simply cease to exist. My proposal involves the use of a PHP-based, flat-file database driven web tool for database management. The design of this program was to fulfill two needs: ease of use for librarians with a lack of programming experience and to meet the security and technical restrictions placed by the college’s IT department. My presentation will explore the development of this tool, challenges within its development, and future improvements. PHP code and the flat-file database will also be explained and provided to attendees. For a working demonstration feel free to visit the New York City College of Technology’s A-Z database [http://library.citytech.cuny.edu/research/AToZ/index.php page] or the subject database [http://library.citytech.cuny.edu/research/subject/index.php page].<br /> <br /> == Drupal 7 as a Rapid Application Development Tool ==<br /> <br /> * Cary Gordon, President, The Cherry Hill Company &amp; Board Member, The Drupal Association (cgordon at chillco dawt com)<br /> Five years ago, I discovered that the Drupal CMS had a programming framework disguised as an API, and learned that I could use it to solve problems.<br /> <br /> Drupal 7 builds on that to provide a powerful toolset for interfacing with, manipulating and presenting data. It empowers tool-builders by providing a minimal install option, along with a more powerful installation profile system makes it easier for developers to package and distribute their applications.<br /> <br /> == Helping Open Source Succeed ==<br /> <br /> * [[User:DataGazetteer|Peter Murray]], LYRASIS, [mailto:Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org Peter.Murray@lyrasis.org] <br /> * Tim Daniels, LYRASIS, [mailto:Tim.Daniels@lyrasis.org Tim.Daniels@lyrasis.org]<br /> <br /> Deciding if open source is an option for your institution, or what open source software matches your institution’s needs and capabilities, is a complex decision. LYRASIS is developing a new area of focus to assist libraries with decision tools and an open source software registry. We want to learn from the creators of open source software what questions institutions have when considering the adoption of open source software and what information you would like to see in a registry that compares various open source tools. A summary of topics discussed in this session will be openly published as part of LYRASIS’ program development plans and decision support resources.<br /> <br /> The mission of the new and emerging LYRASIS Technology Services area is to serve members and the broader library community as a provider of expertise and capacity in open source based technology solutions. We think that viable roles for an organization supporting open source software are to: a) Increase understanding of open source technology within the library community, including value, benefits, risks, and costs; b) Assist in decision-making by providing resources to help libraries evaluate open source technologies, institutional readiness, and capacity for adoption; c) Support adoption and use of open source technologies and systems within libraries and consortia; d) Foster integration of open source software tools to expand the ability of existing programs to meet a range of library user needs; e) Develop and test new open source software programs, and contribute to the development of existing programs; f) Support long-term sustainability of viable, library-based open source software and systems. We recognize that these roles exist to some extent on a continuum, with latter services related to development and sustainability building on the knowledge and experience gained through deployment of existing open source systems. In turn, effective adoption and use depends on understanding open source systems and having resources to assist in decision-making and implementation.<br /> <br /> With open source software in the “innovator” and “early adopter” stages in the library community, we intend to focus its initial efforts on roles A-D in the above list: increased understanding, decision-support, and effective adoption and integration of existing library-focused open source systems. This session is focused on the decision-support services area of activity.<br /> <br /> The impact of this session is expected to be far reaching, if initially subtle. With most of the session time devoted to discussion and interaction among peers on questions surrounding the adoption of open source software, participants will take away a deeper understanding of topics each institution should consider when looking at open source software. These findings, along with that of similar sessions around the country, will inform the creation and expansion of the free decision support tools being developed by LYRASIS.<br /> <br /> == Letting in the light: using Solr as an external search component ==<br /> <br /> * Jay Luker, IT Specialist, ADS (jluker at cfa dot harvard dot edu)<br /> * Benoit Thiell, ADS (bthiell at cfa dot harvard dot edu)<br /> <br /> It’s well-established that [http://lucene.apache.org/solr/ Solr] provides an excellent foundation for building a faceted search engine. But what if your application’s foundation has already been constructed? How do you add Solr as a federated, fulltext search component to an existing system that already provides a full set of well-crafted scoring and ranking mechanisms?<br /> <br /> This talk will describe a work-in-progress project at the [http://adswww.harvard.edu/ Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System] to migrate its aging search platform to [http://invenio-software.org/ Invenio], an open-source institutional repository and digital library system originally developed at CERN, while at the same time incorporating Solr as an external component for both faceting and fulltext search.<br /> <br /> In this presentation we'll start with a short introduction of Invenio and then move on to the good stuff: an in-depth exploration of our use of Solr. We'll explain the challenges that we faced, what we learned about some particular Solr internals, interesting paths we chose not to follow, and the solutions we finally developed, including the creation of custom Solr request handlers and query parser classes.<br /> <br /> This presentation will be quite technical and will show a measure of horrible Java code. Benoit will probably run away during that part.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Code4Lib2011]]</div>

<p>Lbjay: /* Participants */</p> <hr /> <div>== Introduction ==<br /> <br /> The Web is increasingly understood as a global information space consisting not just of linked documents, but also of Linked Data. The Linked Data principles provide a basis for realizing this Web of Data, or Semantic Web. Since early 2007 numerous data sets have been published on the Web according to these principles, in domains as broad as music, books, geographical information, films, people, events, reviews and photos. In combination these data sets consist of over 2 billion RDF triples, interlinked by more than 3 million triples that cross data sets. As this Web of Linked Data continues to grow, and an increasing number of applications are developed that exploit these data sets, there is a growing need for data publishers, researchers, developers and Web practitioners to understand Linked Data principles and practice. This tutorial will address those needs, and provide participants with a solid foundation from which to begin publishing Linked Data on the Web, as well as to implement applications that consume Linked Data from the Web. The tutorial will also draw heavily from material used workshops at previous Linked Data workshops at the [http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2008/ W3C] and the [http://events.linkeddata.org/iswc2008tutorial/ International Semantic Web Conference].<br /> <br /> == Aims and Overview ==<br /> <br /> The aim of this tutorial is to provide participants with a detailed conceptual understanding of how to publish Linked Data on the Web, and a gentle introduction to the practical and technical steps that make up the publishing process. In addition the tutorial will cover best practices in topics such as minting URIs for published data sets, vocabulary selection, choosing what RDF data to expose, and interlinking distributed data sets. Specific patterns will be presented for publishing different forms of data set, such as data from static files, relational databases and existing Web APIs. Participants will also be shown how to debug published data.<br /> <br /> The second focus of the tutorial will be applications that consume Linked Data from the Web. We will give an overview about existing Linked Data browsers, Web of Data search engines as well as Linked Data Mashups and cover the existing software frameworks that can be used to build applications on top of the Data Web. <br /> <br /> Lastly the tutorial will be to provide a collaborative space to explore putting some of the ideas of linked data into practice. The idea is that people can split off into groups, or work independently on adding linked data support to an existing application, exploring modeling issues of what vocabularies to use for particular data sets, and brain storming about new vocabularies that may be needed in the library world.<br /> <br /> The tutorial will combine presentations by the tutors with demonstrations, interactive sessions, and group discussion. Other than a broad technical understanding of the Web development and Web publishing process, and a basic conceptual understanding of the Semantic Web, there are no pre-requisites for participation in the tutorial, which will be of interest to the full spectrum of code4lib2009 attendees, including researchers, developers, data managers/publishers and those seeking to comercially exploit the Semantic Web by publishing Linked Data.<br /> <br /> == Content, Approach and Schedule ==<br /> <br /> The tutorial will be based primarily on material from the [http://sites.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/suhl/bizer/pub/LinkedDataTutorial/ How to Publish Linked Data on the Web] online tutorial, the key resource in the field of Linked Data publishing, supplemented by practical examples to illustrate key issues and give participants hands-on experience of creating Linked Data.<br /> <br /> === Program Outline ===<br /> <br /> * Introduction<br /> ** The Web of Data<br /> ** Linked Data Principles<br /> * Publishing Linked Data on the Web<br /> ** Practical Task: creating a description of a book with RDF<br /> ** Minting URIs and Content Negotiation<br /> ** Vocabulary Selection<br /> ** Manual and Automatic Interlinking<br /> * Consuming Linked Data from the Web<br /> ** Linked Data Browsers<br /> ** Linked Data Search Engines<br /> ** Linked Data Mashups<br /> ** Libraries for implementing your own applications<br /> * Breakout Sessions<br /> ** Break out into groups or work independently on putting some of the ideas into practice<br /> ** Talk about publishing some dataset you are familiar with as linked data<br /> ** Hack linked data support into an existing application you have<br /> ** Explore the use of existing vocabularies for library data, or brainstorm about new ones<br /> * Review, Conclusions and Outlook<br /> ** Results of breakout sessions<br /> ** Linked Data prospects in the year ahead<br /> ** Upcoming directions and challenges for linked data in the library/archives space<br /> <br /> == Participants ==<br /> <br /> * Ed Summers (Library of Congress)<br /> * Mike Giarlo (Library of Congress)<br /> * Jay Luker (Ex Libris)</div>
