Re: [CODE4LIB] Managing syllabi?

[Runyon, Carolyn]

Hi All,

I am also interested in this thread. Specifically if folks have workflows that 
allow them to bulk transfer syllabi and metadata from LMS or registrations 
systems to an IR for permanent archiving, I would love to learn more about your 
process.

All the best,
Carolyn

[CODE4LIB] [EDUC] Registration Ends Soon for Courses from Amigos Library Services

[Jodie Borgerding]

Metadata Principles and Practices 3: Customization and Exchange
August 15, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm (CDT)
This third workshop in the "Metadata Principles and Practices" series covers 
the processes by which institutions customize existing metadata standards, 
exchange and harvest metadata, transform metadata from one standard to another 
and migrate metadata to a newer standard. Topics to be covered include: 
metadata quality factors, application profiles, the Open Archives Initiative 
Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, metadata crosswalks and stylesheets. Register 
today at https://www.amigos.org/node/2971.

Metadata Principles and Practices 4: Metadata Relationships
August 17, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm (CDT)
This final workshop in the Metadata Principles and Practices series focuses on 
the role of expressing relationships in metadata to enhance resource discovery. 
Topics to be covered include how the Metadata Encoding and Transmission 
Standard maintains links between metadata and the resources they describe, how 
the Semantic Web, RDF and Linked Data semantically articulate relationships 
between entities to aggregate metadata components and enable users to find 
resources related to their research interests, and the Bibliographic Framework 
(BibFrame) as an application of RDF and its potential as a replacement for MARC 
21. Register today at https://www.amigos.org/node/3038.

Regular Expressions
August 21 & 23, 10 am - 12 pm (CDT)
This course is an introduction to managing and editing data by learning the 
syntax and construction of a regular expression, which is a sequence of 
characters that define a search (and sometimes replace) pattern. The basic 
characters used to construct a pattern will be discussed and then the patterns 
will be used in hands-on examples. Regular expressions are used in integrated 
library system search/replace reports, and some text editors (like Notepad++). 
Register today at https://www.amigos.org/node/4546.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Managing syllabi?

[David Lowe]

Good stuff.  Yes, this sort of work needs to have more library folks
involved.  As the mission of scholarly communication folks is creeping
(quite healthily, I would say) more into the day to day aspects of
teaching, learning, and research and we look at Faculty Information Systems
with other stakeholders on campus, it is clear to me that a more integrated
systems approach with library involvement would have benefits across the
board.  As we investigate such systems locally, we are working, for
example, with campus colleagues from Institutional Research who match
faculty credentials with courses, so I've been thinking in FRBR terms about
how course catalogs and syllabi are so closely related, yet they mostly
reside in different systems.  I'd say the catalog course description is
equivalent to an *expression* in FRBR terms, while a syllabus is a
*manifestation*, and we may need to distinguish between *items* such as the
Smith syllabus versus the Jones version.  I know Reserves staff in every
academic library love to have advance copies of syllabi to make sure we can
supply the books, articles, and videos needed, but there are lots of other
good reasons for sharing and keeping these around.  So, it may open lots of
other cans of worms, but I'd encourage anyone interested in this topic to
keep in mind the larger strategic context and try to establish contact with
other stakeholding entities on campus toward collaborating on a shared
system...

[CODE4LIB] Vote on Program Selection & Fiscal Continuity Panel - Code4Lib 2018 Program Committee

[Aaron Collier]

Good Morning,



The Code4Lib 2018 Program Committee is considering a couple of updates to
the way that information is presented during program voting.



(1) We are proposing that the list of proposals be randomized for each
voter.



(2) We are proposing to remove the presenter information from the proposal
list, so that voting is somewhat anonymized.



You will receive a different poll in August 2017 requesting you to vote
about the fiscal future of Code4Lib. Regarding the result of the vote, we
believe that there should be programming time dedicated to a further
discussion of next steps at the 2018 Code4Lib Conference in DC.



(3) We propose dedicating plenary time for this important discussion.



As these represent significant changes to the way voting has happened in
the past, the program committee feels it is critical to let the community
weigh in on this decision.



Please take a moment to vote: http://vote.code4lib.org/election/46, it will
only take a minute. The voting period here will be August 7 (today) -
Friday, August 25th. Shortly after voting closes, the program committee
will announce the results.



Please note, as Diebold-o-tron voting is ranked, please rank how strongly
you feel about these issues from 0 - 3.



Thank you,



Code4Lib 2018 Program Committee

Re: [CODE4LIB] Managing syllabi?

[Ken Chad]

Library system vendors are addressing some of these issues with Reading List 
solutions (see Higher Education Library Technology 
http://helibtech.com/Reading_Resource+lists ). These are a sort of course 
catalogue with links to resources (beyond conventional 'library resources) that 
are specifc to a course module or even a week of a particular course. The may 
be characterised by faculty as 'essential' or 'recommended' etc. They are very 
popular in Australia, New Zealand and UK and are highly valued...They are now 
starting to be adopted in the US. 

The broader context for this development and others including learning 
analytics is covered in a recent HELibTech briefing paper: "The new role of the 
library in teaching and learning outcomes" (Published 20 June 2017) and 
available at http://helibtech.com/Briefing+Papers

>From that paper:
The online reading list can be seen as a sort of course catalogue that gives 
the user a (sometimes week-by-week) course/module "view on core resources and 
provides a link to print holdings information or the electronic full text. It 
differs significantly from the integrated library system (ILS) ‘course reserve’ 
module, notably by providing access to materials beyond the items in the 
library catalogue".

"Indeed some librarians claim that the reading list system is a key library 
tool for transforming student learning.  By “investing our efforts into 
developing a genuinely effective, interactive and responsive reading list 
system” librarians at the University of Birmingham are aiming to “transform the 
teaching and learning experience for students and academics”

Re: [CODE4LIB] Managing syllabi?

[Amichal Tulie]

Thanks All for your thoughts and knowledge.

I think our issue is taking off of the reading list part, which we manage in a 
reading list manager, and try to manage other parts of the syllabus in a 
similar way - outside of the same old word document.

When implementing the RL manager some of the feedback was that this is only a 
partial solution  - not covering other aspects of the syllabus like class 
description, plan or requirements - and that those still need to be managed 
"the old way" without much integration with information systems as it's still a 
pdf/word document.

Maybe the solution is more in the realm of document management or managing semi 
structured information than library systems.

[CODE4LIB] Job: PBCore Cataloging Tool Development Contractor at WGBH Educational Foundation

[Code4Lib Jobs]

PBCore Cataloging Tool Development RFP

WGBH Educational Foundation

August 1, 2017

I. Project Overview

WGBH is seeking a qualified developer or development team (“the Contractor”) to 
create a Ruby-based web application tool for the American Archive of Public 
Broadcasting’s PBCore Development and Training Project. 

The goal of the National Endowment for the Humanities-funded PBCore Development 
and Training Project is to develop tools, methodologies, workflows and training 
to enhance and extend the adoption of the Public Broadcasting Metadata 
Dictionary (“PBCore”), a metadata schema for the management of audio and 
audiovisual collections.

PBCore can be used as:

A guideline for cataloging or describing audiovisual content (as a content 
standard)
A model for building custom databases/applications
A guideline for identifying a set of vocabularies for fields describing av 
assets
A data model for a configurable collection management system (Omeka, Collective 
Access, etc.)
A guideline for creating inventory spreadsheets
An exchange (import or export) mechanism between applications 

PBCore records can easily be shared, allowing information about media assets 
and collections to be exchanged between organizations and media systems.

Public Broadcasting in the United States developed PBCore so producers and 
local stations can better share, manage and preserve the media they produce. 
Because it is so useful in describing media assets, a growing number of film 
archives and media organizations outside of public broadcasting have adopted 
PBCore to manage their audiovisual assets and collections. PBCore is used by 
the American Archive of Public Broadcasting as an exchange format and data 
model for metadata about public broadcasting collections.

As part of the NEH project, WGBH seeks to create an open-source graphical user 
interface (“GUI”) cataloging tool. We envision the tool as a simple GUI built 
in Ruby. The tool will have a function that allows for creation, editing, 
import and export of PBCoreXML 2.1 documents (and CSVs formatted in accordance 
with a PBCore data model), which are then stored externally to the app. The 
tool will also allow for search and discovery of the stored XML documents. The 
tool should be easy to implement and use by novice and experienced PBCore users.

II. Project Activities

a. Process overview

i.   WGBH will provide contractor with background materials and 
preliminary requirements for the app development, including information about 
the metadata structure of PBCore, existing PBCore tools, and the prototype 
Filemaker-based tool.

ii.  Contractor will create a work plan and more detailed proposal 
for the product based on the background materials.

iii.    The work plan and detailed proposal will be discussed and 
approved in a meeting with WGBH staff, launching a six-month development phase.

iv.    Over the course of the development phase, contractor will 
perform weekly code review with WGBH in-house developers to assure that WGBH 
development staff are comfortable and familiar with the tool.

v.  Contractor will hold bi-weekly update meetings with WGBH 
project staff to demo development and discuss direction of the project. 

vi.    After the six-month development phase, WGBH staff will demo tool 
with Test User group for review and feedback.

vii.   WGBH will share feedback with contractor and jointly determine a 
proposal for a further three months of development based on user feedback and 
feasibility.

viii. After the second development phase, all code and documentation 
will be turned over to WGBH for release under an MIT Open Source license.  

b. Project Requirements/Desired Features

Required:

User can easily install the tool.
User can easily create a new PBCore XML document.
User can add any PBCore XML attribute or element that is allowed to an existing 
document.
User can see definitions of each element incorporated into the tool.
User can see options for elements or attributes to add to an existing document.
User can import pre-existing batch or single PBCore XML.
User can export batch or single PBCore XML.
User can import PBCore-compliant CSV.
User can export PBCore-compliant CSV.
User can view created XML documents.
User can conduct a keyword search across fields in XML documents.
User can perform a complex search based on values of two elements or more.
User can edit pre-existing records.
User can see PBCore controlled vocabularies as drop-down options for elements 
and attributes.
User is notified when PBCore document is invalid.
User can batch add a value in a specific element or attribute to all records in 
a found set.

III. Proposed Timeline 

We expect preliminary planning to be completed by October 15th, 2017, though 
this timeline may be extended depending on the length of the hiring process for 
the contractor. The primary development phase should be complete
