[CODE4LIB] Reminder: Code4Lib 2014 Call for Proposals deadline Friday Nov 8

2013-10-28 Thread Tim McGeary
Reminder!  There are only 2 weeks remaining to submit your proposal for
Code4Lib 2014!  Please see below on how to submit your presentation and
pre-conference proposals for Code4Lib 2014 in Raleigh, NC.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2014 Call for Proposals
To: CODE4LIB@listserv.nd.edu


Code4lib 2014 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people
working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums and technology
with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge collaborations.

The conference will be held at the *Sheraton Raleigh Hotel in downtown
Raleigh, NC from March 24 - 27, 2014*.  For more information about the
hotel, visit http://www.sheratonraleigh.com/

We are currently accepting proposals for prepared talks and
pre-conferences. While only a limited number of these can be selected,
multiple lightning talk and breakout sessions will provide additional
opportunities for you to make your voice heard at the conference.


*Proposals for Prepared Talks:*

Prepared talks are 20 minutes (including setup and questions), and should
focus on one or more of the following areas:

- Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of
existing technologies and/or development of new software

- Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing tools,
standards and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)

- Technical issues – Big issues in library technology that should be
addressed or better understood

- Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib
community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration,
diversity, organizational challenges, etc.

*To submit a proposal:*

- Go to http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_Prepared_Talk_Proposals

- Log in to the wiki in order to submit a proposal. If you are not already
registered, follow the instructions to do so.

- Provide a title and brief (500 words or fewer) description of your
proposed talk.

- If you so choose, you may also indicate when, if ever, you have presented
at a prior Code4Lib conference. This information is completely optional,
but it may assist us in opening the conference to new presenters.

As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they
would like to see included in the program. This year, however, only the top
10 proposals will be guaranteed a slot at the conference. Additional
presentations will be selected by the Program Committee in an effort to
ensure diversity in program content. Community votes will, of course, still
weigh heavily in these decisions.

Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will
be guaranteed an opportunity to register for the conference. The standard
conference registration fee will still apply.

Proposals can be submitted through Friday, November 8, 2013, at 5pm PST.
Voting will commence on November 18, 2013 and continue through December 6,
2013. The final line-up of presentations will be announced in early
January, 2014.


*Pre-Conference Proposals:*

Pre-conferences are full- or half-day sessions that will be held on Monday,
March 24th, 2014 and can cover just about any topic you can think of [1].

If you are interested in hosting a pre-conference session, please create a
pitch at http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2014_preconference_proposals.
Pitches should be added to the wiki by December 6.

Please indicate the topic of your session and your preference for full-day
or half-day.  This is expected to be a fluid process, as our venue provides
some flexibility in determining space.

*Pre-Conference Attendance:*

If you are interested in attending a pre-conference, please list your name
underneath the pre-conference description on the wiki; this does not incur
any obligation on your part, but will help planners. You might want to
visit the page occasionally as new session pitches are added.  Actual,
less-revocable registration for pre-conferences will be handled as part of
the overall conference registration, and will involve a very small fee.


We look forward to reading your proposals, and seeing you at the conference!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question for Institutional Repository Folks

2013-10-28 Thread Christian Pietsch
Hi Matt,

if you are certain that a PDF file was encumbered with DRM
restrictions by mistake, then you can easily remove DRM using a tool
from the free MuPDF software which is available for all major
operating systems including Windows: http://www.mupdf.com/

If you have the current version, the command line goes like this:
mutool clean old.pdf new.pdf

Older versions of MyPDF included a different executable for this:
pdfclean old.pdf new.pdf

As for editing PDF files ... this is not what they are intended for,
but it is possible with tools like PDFedit , Gimp,
Inkscape or Scribus.

Cheers,
Christian

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question for Institutional Repository Folks

2013-10-28 Thread Joshua Welker
I've had success in the past using the Foxit suite to bypass Adobe's
proprietary PDF restrictions. Or in many cases you can just open the PDF
file in a non-Adobe reader (such as Foxit) and use a print-to-pdf tool
like PDFCreator to regenerate a new PDF file from the same content, and
IIRC it is devoid of a password.

When I check Adobe's site, I see that "All Adobe products enforce the
restrictions set by the permissions password. However, if third-party
products do not support these settings, document recipients are able to
bypass some or all of the restrictions you set."

I would be interested to know whether anyone has a good alternative PDF
editor to Acrobat Professional.  My hunch is that an app for editing PDFs
is most likely to have a high level of functionality, because someone
handling PDFs on a desktop will just get Acrobat Professional.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question for Institutional Repository Folks

2013-10-28 Thread Monica Rivero
If you have adobe acrobat professional software, you can use the option 
File>Create>Combine files into one single PDF. This will combine the 
password-protected PDF plus a coversheet PDF containing the metadata you 
are looking to add.


Good luck!

In my experience, most publishers are fine with required statements going
in the metadata, so long as the metadata is visible to users. That being
said, it does depend on the publisher, and their specific request.

Is it possible to contact the author directly about getting the password,
or a PDF that's not password-locked?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Question for Institutional Repository Folks

2013-10-28 Thread Wilhelmina Randtke
When I check Adobe's site, I see that "All Adobe products enforce the
restrictions set by the permissions password. However, if third-party
products do not support these settings, document recipients are able to
bypass some or all of the restrictions you set."
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WSD012A4E1-51D1-4bcd-BA9F-EF03C6F20BB6.html

I would be interested to know whether anyone has a good alternative PDF
editor to Acrobat Professional.  My hunch is that an app for editing PDFs
is most likely to have a high level of functionality, because someone
handling PDFs on a desktop will just get Acrobat Professional.

Just to clarify: the password's only necessary to *edit *the PDF?

In my experience, most publishers are fine with required statements going
in the metadata, so long as the metadata is visible to users. That being
said, it does depend on the publisher, and their specific request.

Is it possible to contact the author directly about getting the password,
or a PDF that's not password-locked?

I'm not an IR person, but I know that PDFs are effectively a container.

It *might* be possible to create a PDF that had a page w/ the notice, then
insert the locked PDF.

A quick search on the topic suggest there might be problems ... I don't
know if it the default of a locked document is to not allow it to be 
inserted:

I really don't know about PyMarc. I wrote MARC::MIR when i was pissed
off by the buggy, unmaintainable, bloated and slow perl modules.

I wanted to make things:
* more maintainable
* faster
* lighter
* easier to use (Perl OO APIs are just hell!)
  so i wrote very simple
* data fault tolerant
* as acmeic as possible
  (as an array of array, it's easy to serialize... for example: 
  yaml, json, msgpack are supported without a single line of code and
  it's possible to python < iso2709 | perl | ruby )
* as configurable as possible

My inspiration is PSGI (the WSGI of Perl): MIR is just an in memory array of
arrays ... that's it and that will stay as it. however it's simple
enought to be extendable with no interaction with the core lib (as
middlewares of the PSGI world).

Hi guys,

Does your library maintain a database of faculty publications? How do you do it?

Some things I've come across in my (admittedly brief) research:
- RSS feeds from the major databases
- RefWorks citation lists

These options do not necessarily work for my university, made up of 24 
colleges/institutions, 6,700+ FT faculty, and 270,000+ degree-seeking students.

Does anyone have a better solution? It need not be searchable: we are just 
interested in pulling a periodical report of articles written by our 
faculty/students without relying on them self-reporting days/weeks/months/years 
after the fact.

Thanks!

2013-10-28 Thread Nault, Pierre
Hi 

We'll soon start a pilot database of faculty/department/researcher with refbase 
:
http://www.refbase.net/index.php/Web_Reference_Database
code : http://sourceforge.net/p/refbase/code/HEAD/tree/branches/bleeding-edge/

This is a web base solution for managing bibliographic references. You can 
batch import/export in many formats your references and exposed them with 
OpenSearch and SRU or include them in Endnote or Zotero, etc.. Generating 
bibliographies for faculties or a specific researcher is easy as you can 
include results into web pages  with Atom XML or HTML. It uses COinS and unAPI.

We are facing the same difficulties as other mentioned for populating this 
database. The same apply with our institutional repository: researcher and 
teachers find it reluctant and time consuming even if we can batch import there 
works. On the other end, copyright matters don't apply to bibliographic 
references so we could "scavenge" big citation databases..

Re: [CODE4LIB] Faculty publication database

2013-10-28 Thread Jason Stirnaman
To affirm what Eric and Tom said, we use BibApp but collecting publication data 
and disambiguating authors is a huge, person-intensive chore. And that's 
speaking as a small-ish medical center that can rely on PubMed to source 80-90% 
of our data.

We're hoping that ORCID will make a big difference. We're just getting ready to 
push our verified publication data to ORCID profiles for our researchers.

Hi all,

I was the lead developer for BibApp at UW-Madison.  BibApp is a neat tool and 
worth consideration for Ruby/Solr folk.

However, the project lost momentum at UW because we could not capture enough 
data to approach faculty expectations that the database be _truly 
comprehensive_.  We harvested citation data via APIs, collected paper CVs, 
brokered our way into obtaining copies of annual merit review exercises, but 
still we could not capture enough publication data.  Ultimately, seeing the 
amount of staff cost for data collection, for building a non-comprehensive 
tool, the library decided to back away.

In the sciences you'll have far better luck, but in the humanities it's a 
complete mess.  Good luck finding citations for all the public radio 
appearances the Chair of the English department expects to see on their 
profile...

It's an unwinnable war.  I still cry at night.

Cheers,
- Eric
