I do provide the user with the proxied WorldCat URL for just the reasons Jonathan cites. But, no, being an otherwise open web resource, you can't force a user to use it. On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 12:22 PM, Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > > I haven't yet found any good way to do this if the user is off-c

Re: [CODE4LIB] WorldCat as an OpenURL endpoint ?

We have been trying to enumerate serials holdings as explicitly as possible. E.G., this microfiche supplement to a journal, http://summit.syr.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=274291 shows apparently missing issues. However, there are two pieces of inferred information here: 1) every print issue had

Re: [CODE4LIB] Transcription/dictation software?

My wife, for a linguistics research project, recorded the responses of her subjects to a list of questions, so that she could transcribe them and analyze them. She got Dragon Dictate with the intention of getting a rough transcription and then, listening to the tape, correct the errors. With so man

Re: [CODE4LIB] Q.: MARC8 vs. MARC/Unicode and pymarc and misencoded III records

I'm out of my depth here, but I'm curious how this all works. Is it true that, in MARC8 records, there is supposed to be an 066 field included that defines non-Latin character sets? I'm making this conclusion from some things I read on the LOC website. ANSEL is mentioned as one of the instances whe

Re: [CODE4LIB] Bootstrap vs Foundation

I read this awhile back. It's by someone associated with the Foundation project. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dive-into-responsive-prototyping-with-foundation/ Both look good. Like you, I looked hard at Bootstrap after the conference, but haven't really done anything with it. I'd be intere

Re: [CODE4LIB] archiving a wiki

I haven't tried it on a wiki, but the command-line Unix utility wget can be used to mirror a website. http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Advanced-Usage.html I usually call it like this: wget -m -p http://www.site.com/ common flags: -m = mirroring on/off -p = page_requisites

Re: [CODE4LIB] one tool and/or resource that you recommend to newbie coders in a library?

I won't expand on Michael's excellent summary of using SASS, but he did leave out one crucial bit -- it comes in two formats, which causes some confusion. The format that Michael was describing is the second one, SCSS, which is basically CSS with some fancy nesting patterns that you can't do nativ

Re: [CODE4LIB] one tool and/or resource that you recommend to newbie coders in a library?

And here's my coding tool, which is supported by most of the common code editors via plugins: Zen Coding, http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/ The idea is that it lets you use CSS-like selectors as tags that can be expanded into full HTML snippets. I'll just use the example from the project page t

Re: [CODE4LIB] PBCore 2.0 to MARC XML?

PBCore lists a bunch of crosswalk mapping schemes that they've identified. http://www.pbcore.org/PBCore/PBCore_Mappings.html Some of them are listed but aren't done yet, including a direct mapping to MARC 21. However, a mapping of PBCore to Dublin Core exists, so you could probably get there by u

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4lib Registration 2013 Redux.

Thanks for giving us a week notice. I would be screwed if it was today, both for schedule reasons and for being given funding (which still isn't). In the original proposal, http://tigger.uic.edu/~kayiwa/code4lib.html , you said: "Our plan will include staggered registration divided in 3 equal par

Re: [CODE4LIB] anti-harassment policy for code4lib?

I think a good code is "Try not to be an asshole." You can but try. Never-the-less, I feel it mitigates the need for an angry god and makes the 10 commandments redundant. Anyway, thanks to Bess for raising the issue. I think all of you have made a great start. I think there are more than enough v

[CODE4LIB]

What makes it work for SXSW is that they have a formal organization -- an incorporated body, in fact -- that gives them the continuity and structure to do things that can be highly structured or ad hoc, depending on the need of the situation. They have to be this way because they are freakin' huge.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library event systems and using your API talents for good

I've been disappointed by event management/calendaring systems in general. I think there are a number of common needs that libraries all share. Calendar systems -- scheduling single instance or repeating instance events seems to be the one thing you can find in a system. Basic metadata/filtering p
