[Brandon, Jenny]

Hey all –

You still have time!  The call for submissions for essays for the book: We Can 
Do I.T.: Women in Library Information Technology has been extended to May 1, 
2017!!!

If you were thinking of submitting an essay but ran out of time, please 
consider sending one in.  We have received many great submissions (thank you 
all) but we need to hear from more of you.  Remember, it can be as short as a 
tweet, or up to 1500 words.

If you are not sure what to write about, here are some topics, but you don’t 
need to limit yourself to these:
•  How you started in library I.T.
•  Stories related to being a woman in library I.T.
•  Experiences of acceptance or resistance within the library I.T. 
community
•  Tips and advice for other women seeking a career in library I.T.
•  Changes in your career path because of entering library I.T.
•  Changes you'd like to see happen within the library I.T. culture
•  Advice for library management on how to improve library I.T. 
culture
•  A vision for the future about/for women in library I.T.

If you still aren’t sure what to write, want to try a different format (we have 
received one interview), or you would like to propose a topic before you spend 
the time writing, please email us at: 
womenli...@googlegroups.com


Thank you!

Call for Essays

Working Title: We Can Do I.T. : Women in Library Information Technology
Editors: Jenny Brandon, Sharon Ladenson, Kelly Sattler
Submission Deadline: May 1, 2017
Publisher: Library Juice Press
Description of book:
What roles are women playing in information technology (I.T.) in libraries? 
What are rewards that women experience, as well as challenges they face in 
library I.T.? What are future visions for women in library I.T.?
This edited collection will provide a voice for people to share insights into 
the culture, challenges, and rewards of being a woman working in library I.T.  
We are soliciting personal narratives from anyone who works in a library about 
what it is like to be a woman, or working with women, in library I.T. We also 
seek essays on visions for the future of women within library I.T. and how such 
visions could be achieved. This collection should be useful not only for those 
pursuing a career in library I.T., but also for library managers seeking to 
facilitate a more inclusive environment for the future. Through publishing a 
collection of personal narratives, we also seek to bring experiences of women 
in library I.T. from the margins to the center.
For the purposes of this collection, we consider library I.T. to include 
responsibilities in computer networks, hardware, and software support; computer 
programming (e.g. coding in python, php, java...); web development (e.g. 
admins, coders, front/back end developers,...); and/or the management of such 
areas.
Possible topics include but are not limited to the following:

  *   How you started in library I.T.
  *   Stories related to being a woman in library I.T.
  *   Experiences of acceptance or resistance within the library I.T. community
  *   Tips and advice for other women seeking a career in library I.T.
  *   Changes in your career path because of entering library I.T.
  *   Changes you'd like to see happen within the library I.T. culture
  *   Advice for library management on how to improve library I.T. culture
  *   A vision for the future about/for women in library I.T.
Timeline:
Submission deadline: May 1, 2017
Notification/Feedback regarding submission: June 4, 2017
Editing and revision: June - July 2017
Final manuscript due to publisher: September 2017

This volume will contain commentary, stories, and essays (from 140 characters 
to 1,500 words).

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fingerprint Tool Suggestions

[Monica Rivero]

Hi Dave,

At our library we use the following tools (links below to
our guidelines) to confirm transfer of digital files. I personally
haven't used these tools with such a large dataset as your's but might be
worth testing.

Robocopy (Robust File Copy) for PC http://tinyurl.com/ke9esag
rsync  for MAC http://tinyurl.com/kgoqb2c

then for confirming no changes over time, we use checksums generating tools
such as DROID (then compare using Excel) or Quickhash [1] 

Here some helpful explanation of using checksums, _File Verification using
MD5 Checksums_[2]

Hope this helps,
​Monica

Quoting "Bigwood, David" :


Open for suggestions for a fingerprinting tool. I think that's what
they are called.

We are copying NASA imagery to make available to the public. They
send us a hard drive with about 10,000 images and we copy them to a
drive then return the original.

I'd like a tool that would compare the 2 drives to make sure
everything was copied correctly. Then something that would be able to
tell if some file had degraded, went missing or been changed over
time.

Thanks,
David Bigwood

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fingerprint Tool Suggestions

[Kyle Banerjee]

Modern filesystems are good at detecting and repairing corruption. They
need to be because it would cause loads of problems if bits were regularly
getting flipped or lost.

I've never understood why we only worry about corruption in the information
objects we manage? After all, corruption in the OS, any hardware and
software component involved in making the checksum calculations, and the
checksum itself are also possible and some of those would have much more
profound consequences than changing a bit in an image, document, etc.

Checksumming using external utilities strikes me as more resource intensive
than necessary on an IO, CPU, or memory basis. Better to go ZFS or a
service like Amazon where integrity is baked in at a lower level unless the
real concern is detecting modification by humans or software in which case
a recovery plan to get an uncorrupted version back in is necessary.

Cynthia,

That looks like just what I was looking for. I'll download it and give it a 
test drive.

Thanks,

Hello David,
Depending on your OS and the formatting of the drive you should be able to find 
an app that will clone the drive and verify the checksum at the time of the 
copy.

Can you provide OS details to refine suggestions?

You can batch watermark with Photoshop or Lightroom or Bridge.

You can do it with ImageMagik too on the command line, but that's more
complex.

Your main constraint will be the processor and RAM.
