Re: [CODE4LIB] OCLC control number access

[CODE4LIB] Jobs at Code4Lib Conference
Hi, all. We've got an opening for a developer, and maybe you do, too. I thought--in addition to the very cool jobs.code4lib.org--it might be nice to have an old fashioned job board at the conference so people could informally connect with someone from the hiring organization. So, there's a page on the wiki seeded with one job http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2012_jobs and hopefully something even more old school (like a big piece of paper) will be up at the conference venue. Thanks, Andrew Darby Head, Web Emerging Technologies University of Miami Libraries p.s. we're hiring!
[CODE4LIB] code4lib 2012 streaming
Dear All, I'll be managing our attempts to ensure code4lib 2012 is streamed. The plan is to stream all plenary portions of the conference via livestream, and I'll post the channel link to IRC, Twitter on this list before the event begins. If all goes well, we'll have a stream for the following (PST) times: * Tues: 9am-12pm, 1pm-2.40, 4-5.20 * Wed: 9am-12pm, 1pm-2.20, 3.50-5.15 * Thu: 9am-12pm The streaming committee has some concerns about the equipment we have access to, so if there is anyone in the community who would volunteer a digital camcorder with a firewire known to be compatible with Livestream, we would be in your debt. (Which means I would buy you beer from time to time throughout the conference...) Alternately, I have leads on rental equipment, so please let me know (offlist) if virtual attendees would be willing to donate toward the stream or if onsite attendees would be willing to make a donation at the door. :) Thanks in advance. I will post a link to the livestream channel no later than Monday.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib 2012 streaming
Yes. The camera's being provided by UW will work for that, and there will be a second camera running to grab a version to process in the weeks following the conference post to the internet archive as done in previous years. I decided on two separate cameras because of feedback from Access 2012 indicating that if the livestream dropped, the archival copy that can be pulled out later is also lost. Therefore, I'm erring on the side of redundant capture. -Corey On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 1:17 PM, Jonathan Rochkind rochk...@jhu.edu wrote: Is the video also being recorded for putting up on the web later?

Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org
We did something with CommentPress, catalog records, and digitized Islamic Manuscripts that was a bit more formal than what Corey describes (see http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/ for the site, and http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/getting-started for an overview). These were largely Arabic manuscripts from the 15th-19th centuries that were digitized and added to HathiTrust, but for which we had minimal cataloging information. We crowd-sourced some of the cataloging to Islamic scholars around the world -- they looked at the digital documents, reviewed the bare-bones cataloging record we had created, and suggested additions. Catalogers reviewed and corrected, and repeated.

It's really cool to see a description of how this is working. I think this is a pretty good example of how a library data mgt interface of the future might work: * Grab some free text describing a thing; * Try to clean it up, extract important concepts / themes topics * Reconcile against some sort lod-lam friendly controlled vocabulary/ies * Offer cataloger types an interface to accept / reject / refine those mappings as well as the text of the metadata itself. I would go to a breakout session about this. Best, -Corey On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 9:46 AM, Cynthia Ng cynthia.s...@gmail.com wrote: Just a quick 2 cents.

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib 2012 streaming
By the way, if anyone has any experience with streaming video with livestream, or recording video for archiving, or is interested in trying their hand at pointing a camera at really smart people while they talk, please consider signing up to join the video committee: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/During_the_Conference_Volunteers#Video_Committee On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 1:19 PM, Corey A Harper corey.har...@nyu.edu wrote: Yes. The camera's being provided by UW will work for that, and there will be a second camera running to grab a version to process in the weeks following the conference post to the internet archive as done in previous years. I decided on two separate cameras because of feedback from Access 2012 indicating that if the livestream dropped, the archival copy that can be pulled out later is also lost. Therefore, I'm erring on the side of redundant capture. -Corey On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 1:17 PM, Jonathan Rochkind rochk...@jhu.edu wrote: Is the video also being recorded for putting up on the web later?

(Which means I would buy you beer from time to time throughout the conference...) Alternately, I have leads on rental equipment, so please let me know (offlist) if virtual attendees would be willing to donate toward the stream or if onsite attendees would be willing to make a donation at the door. :) Thanks in advance.

[CODE4LIB] code4lib conference '12 - Solr pre-conference
Regretfully I must cancel my trip to Seattle, a bummer on several levels as I always love code4lib conferences, the people, the topics, and was also looking forward to enjoying downtown Seattle a bit too. Last minute urgent business duties call, alas. I have alerted the code4libcon e-mail list as well. This means I won't be at the What's New in Solr pre-conference event that I was going to lead. However, I will make myself available to call/Skype/IRC in and do a bit of facilitation and contribute what I can to the get-together. I think it will be a useful/productive time slot for folks to discuss Solr experiences, challenges, and future needs, so please don't worry about me not being physically there, and take the opportunity to make it an interactive session where everyone introduces themselves and their projects and delves into the gory details of Solr experiences. I'm open to suggestions on how I can best participate remotely and contribute as best I can. Thanks, Erik
