Re: [CODE4LIB] Mastodon for libraries

I moderate a server for publishing scientists. We had more sign-ups today and yesterday than we would normally have in a normal year. https://FediScience.org To the question, we have a list with related servers, many of which are GLAM. https://fediscience.org/server-list.html Happy to answer

Hey, Thomas...there is https://code4lib.social/about/more (where I'm at) and https://glammr.us/about/more (which is a broader G-L-A-M community). I'm also subscribed to library people on https://digipres.club/about/more and https://scholar.social/about/more. Let me know where you end up..I'm http

Re: [CODE4LIB] File copy with integrity check?

Another software app you to consider is Beyond Compare ( https://www.scootersoftware.com/). Not open source, but inexpensive and feature-rich. It's rather coincidental that I purchased it specifically for use with scanned microfilm files that will eventually make their way to Chuck's neck of the

Re: [CODE4LIB] File copy with integrity check?

In my previous position, I used FastCopy[1] when transferring preservation files to and from our server. It can handle integrity checks, and it really truly is _fast_ compared to Window's native file handling. For a more open source solution, you could install WSL on the machine and use rsync. [1

[CODE4LIB] Mastodon for libraries

For anyone trying to extricate themselves from the oozing muck of any commercial social network currently in the news, is there a library-oriented Mastodon server? -- Thomas Dowling Director of Technologies, Z. Smith Reynolds Library Wake Forest University dowli...@wfu.edu / 336-758-5797 he/him

Re: [CODE4LIB] File copy with integrity check?

Hi Chuck, I recently started a new job and the previous digital archivist's workflow notes suggest using TeraCopy as you can use it to move files and select an option to have it do integrity checks. So you might want to take a look into that. Matt Sherman On Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 9:04 AM Chuck He

[CODE4LIB] File copy with integrity check?

Listmates! I'm looking for some software or strategy suggestions: We digitize microfilm in house and typically produce rather large and numerous files as part of that process. We regularly move these source files from the scan machine to external storage (NAS). We've done this fairly willy-nilly

[CODE4LIB] Brief Survey: Academic Libraries and Remote Work

Dear Colleagues, I’m conducting a study into academic library employee remote work options and preferences. If you work in an academic library in the U.S., I'd appreciate your anonymous participation in the study's survey, which has 10 multiple-choice questions and takes about 7-10 minutes to com
