interesting to go farther. As a former classics scholar-i
I'd be interested to hear thoughts on which aspects of it are the future. I
suspect you're focusing on it being OS, and modularity?
As I understand it, Folio works with various OPACs and discovery systems—I

Certainly interesting to see a CoC that prohibits offensive comments about
political beliefs but neglects to include ethnicity. Combined with the
oddly limited "religious beliefs" (as opposed to the more standard and
open-ended "religion"), I wonder how one would go about reporting most

I echo what others have said about getting MARC. But a few thoughts about
screen scraping:
1. Obey robots.txt in all respects.

LibraryThing is looking for another library-focused developer. We're
looking for developers of any level—junior to senior. The pay is
accordingly variable—$60-120k USD. It's remote/virtual, as is the whole
company.
It comes with a finder's fee: If you find us that person, or are that
person, you g

2. Has discussion of the topics here moved elsewhere? If so, where and why?
3. Is any of this about Code4Lib specifically, about libraries
specifically, about coding and tech specifically… or is this just a symptom

I and other LibraryThing developers have done a lot of this work in the
process of making Talpa.ai, so here's my quick take:
1. Fine-tuning is a poor way to add knowledge to an LLM, especially at
scale. It's mostly useful for controlling how LLM "thinking" is
presented—for example ensuring clean,
