Re: [CODE4LIB] Let's Encrypt and EZProxy

Hello, Got it. No wildcard support though. I'll go through and read everything that was posted. I've been frustrated with SSL certificates lately. Let's Encrypt looks nice. I know similar services in the past didn't hold up well. Thanks, Cornel Darden Jr. Chief Information Officer Casanova I

On the note of what other formats are available, you can also throw a .rdf onto the end to get a little RDF/XML as DC/SKOS (at least for the one you mentioned--it doesn't seem terribly detailed compared to the XML). On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 12:12 PM, Bigwood, David wrote: > Eric, > > ORCID is als

We too are using ABBYY Finereader to meet ADA compliance requirements in Special Collections. I don't know of a better product, but for older documents (e.g., weird typefaces) and those with images (e.g., advertisements in a newspaper), it does require some handholding. We use students for tha

Re: [CODE4LIB] [patronprivacy] Let's Encrypt and EZProxy

So, the reason we wanted to proxy scholar.google.com is that google provides link resolver links if the requesting IP is our domain. Otherwise, each remote user will have to configure their own browser. GoDaddy wouldn't let me add scholar.google.com.librarycatalog.vts.edu to my certificate. So

Yes, thank you. The "we" has to include cataloguing experts and the catloguing community of course. A fair amount of those people are already part of the Cod4Lib community. > On Apr 18, 2016, at 10:59 AM, Galen Charlton wrote: > > Hi, > > On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 10:28 AM, Eric Hellman wrote:

Yes, thank you, Carol! To clarify: The documents are English language with mostly simple fonts. There is some handwritten text in the more recent issues of this publication, but we're working from the 1940's forward, so we can come up with another solution for the handwriten stuff down the line, I

[CODE4LIB] OCR recommendations?

Greetings, Might anyone have some recommendations on good OCR software that is either relatively cheap or free? We're looking to OCR some files for a digital collection (platform still to be determined...) and wonder if there's a more robust tool than Acrobat Pro that won't cost an arm and a leg.
