[CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Elizabeth Leonard]

Does anyone have a good way to track requests to make changes to your 
website(s)? I would like to be able to put in requests and be able to track if 
they are done and when, so there's fewer emails flying about.

[CODE4LIB] Why not Sharepoint?

[Ned Struthers]

Greetings list,

I'm in the midst of establishing a corporate archive/RM program and soon will 
need to make a convincing case for why Sharepoint's Document Library/Search 
Centre  is not a viable option for managing our archival digital objects and 
their associated descriptions. Does anyone have any personal experience using 
Sharepoint for archival purposes, or know of any articles/blogs discussing it's 
suitability (or lack thereof) for this type of work? I've always heard "don't 
use Sharepoint" but am having a hard time finding evidence that I can use to 
support my case for a 3rd party solution. Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Ned

[Jacob Ratliff]

Hi Ned,

The biggest case for SP is boiled down to 2 things in my mind.
1) its terrible at preservation. If you are just using it as a digital
asset mgmt system its fine, but if you need the preservation component go
with something else.

2) SP is decent at doing everything, but is not good at any 1 thing. Its a
jack of all trades, master of none. If you want to do 1 thing really well
find something else. But, if you need something that does everything, its
almost your only option.

There are probably plenty of other arguments, but those 2 usually sum up SP
in the discussions I have with people.

I've never used Sharepoint, but really it boils down to coming up with a
list of requirements for a digital preservation storage system:

 - It must have an audit log of who did what to what when
 - It must do fixity checking of digital assets
   - At minimum, it must tell you when a fixity check fails
   - It really should be able to recover from fixity check
 failures when an object is read
   - Ideally it should discover these *before* an object is
 accessed, recover, and notify someone
 - It must support rich enough metadata for your objects
 - It must meet your preservation needs (N copies distributed over
   X distance within Y hours)
 - It must be scalable to handle anticipated future growth.

I'm sure there are more, I haven't had much coffee yet this morning so
I'm missing some. And honestly, you have to scale your requirements to
what your specific needs are.

*Only* then can you evaluate solutions. If you've got a list of
requirements, you can then ask "I need this. How well does SP (or any
other possible solution) meet this need?"

[CODE4LIB] OAI Crosswalk XSLT

[Matthew Sherman]

Hi Code4Lib folks,

I have a question for those of you who have worked with OAI-PMH.  I am
currently editing our DSpace OAI crosswalk to include a few custom metadata
field that exist in our repository for publication information and port
them into a more standard format.  The problem I am running into is the
select statements they use are not the typical XPath statements I am used
to.  For example:





I know what the "." does, but the other select statement is a bit foreign
to me.  So my question is, does anyone know of some reference material that
can help me make sense of this select?  I need to understand what it is
doing so I can make my own.  Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hi,

element1/element2 - means, that element2 is child of element1
element[@name='type'] - matches . @name is
shortcut for the "name" attribute of the element
xsl:for-each - is a for each loop. The select part is an xpath
expression, and what it matches will be accessed by the . All in all, the whole loop put every element into the
 tag.

Hey Elizabeth,

I know my library's systems department uses The Trac project:
http://trac.edgewall.org/, which lets them do exactly what you're asking
about.  I can't remember how easy/difficult the installation process is,
but using it is easy for almost anyone.  Our building maintenance person
has even started using it as a way to track what she needs to do.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Charlie Morris]

We (Web Team at NCSU Libraries) started using GitHub's issue queue to track
bugs and requests.  I think it's catching on.  It's free, it's popular
(good support), lets you assign people, lets you apply labels and
milestones for categorizing, lets you add to the issue via email or web
interface, lets you close an issue via git commit... emoji.  It's pretty
nice. One problem is tracking issues that aren't necessarily related to the
code in the repo.  That might be confusing, we're still working through
that.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Cary Gordon]

Depending on your service model, I suggest either a project management
system like Unfuddle (hosted) or Redmine (installed, but available hosted),
or a ticket system like Request Tracker (installed) or Zendesk (hosted).

Ticket systems are best where there is a simple model of request and
service. Tickets can be assigned internally, but most systems only support
a single requestor. In other words, they don't support larger conversations.

Project management software is best when there are multiple participants on
both sides and you want to memorialize everything.

We use Unfuddle and Jira project management systems. We support
organizations using Pivotal Tracker, an agile-specific system, and we have
also built Drupal integration with Kayako, a sophisticated ticketing system.

Many organizations use Basecamp, which is a more free-form system. It
didn't work for us.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of systems available. I have listed
the URLs fo the ones I mention below.

More DSpacey people than I can probably comment more knowledgeably on this, but 
this seems like less of an OAI-PMH thing than a DSpace thing. It looks like 
maybe DSpace stores metadata internally in a generic metadata/element/field 
structure like Bridger showed (with doc namespace):


 

 



 

...and the select is pulling the information it needs for the  
element in the OAI-PMH output out of the internal DSpace structure.

Re: [CODE4LIB] OAI Crosswalk XSLT

[Matthew Sherman]

Ok, that makes sense.  While I knew of OAI-PMH this is my first time really
getting my hands dirty with it so I wasn't sure if this exceptionally
detailed formatting was a function of the OAI protocols or a function of
DSpace.  I also extracted a metadata record from DSpace to see how they are
formatting it and this I what I found for the type field:

Re: [CODE4LIB] OAI Crosswalk XSLT

[Matthew Sherman]

Given the DSpace Dublin Core formatting I would like to be able to take
this:

1
 Quarterly
Review of Economics and Finance
47

And turn during a OAI harvest turn it into:

Quarterly Review of Economics and
Finance Vol. 47 Issue 1

I am thinking I can just add

 Vol. 
Issue 

in the identifier section of the cross walk, but I am not 100% sure.  Also
I am not sure if I will need to use the excessively complex XPath to
reference my source values.  Can anyone tell me if I am on the right track?

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?

[Kim, Bohyun]

Thanks everyone for more online payment system/service options!

Mark, thanks for mentioning about the PCI/DSS compliance in relation to
this. This is really good to know. Stripe looks promising to me. Our
library is looking into removing the cash register at the circ desk and
collect all library fines in addition to services charges (such as ILL
fees for corporate members or Conference room charges for non-campus
users). So we need a solution that will let us customize the fee
categories, amounts, etc. with the least effort on us to set it up.

What did you mean by a pre-packaged solution??

Thanks!
Bohyun

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Hagedon, Mike - (mhagedon)]

HI Elizabeth,
We've had great success (some might say too much!) with Redmine, installed 
locally (we migrated from Trac). We're able to easily involve our colleagues in 
issue discussions (collaboration is very important to us). It can integrate 
with email (but maybe you don't want that?), and we've integrated it with our 
campus single sign-on. It can be used for light project management issue 
tracking, or for support requests (which sounds more like what you're wanting). 
We have non-developers who have requested Redmine projects to track their 
projects, so it's useful beyond just tracking website changes.

We also use the GitHub issue tracker for our one major open-source project, and 
it's great except when it's not flexible enough for what we want to do.

Another +1 for Github Issues. If you’re uncomfortable putting the website
in a public repo they’ve given us 50 private repositories for free and
have asked us to spread the word. You can just head over to
https://education.github.com/ and request a discount for your organization
- they’ve been amazing to work with. =)

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Elizabeth Leonard]

What I am really looking for:

Example: proquest updates links to its resources. I need to tell my people to 
make that change and I want to be able to see that it was done- all in one 
place. I want to put changes on a schedule: when our Gallery's exhibit is over, 
I want to make sure that the proper person is notified to change the image on 
the site that advertises the show. 

I really hate hunting through all my emails for this stuff, having to run 
around to find people and ask them.

We use LibGuides as our website, which has an integrated link checkers, so I am 
not worried as much about that.

Does this make sense?

Elizabeth

So it doesn't look like you're just coming up with cases that
Sharepoint doesn't do, you might consider something like the
TRAC checklist:

2007 version, from CRL:
http://www.crl.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/pages/trac_0.pdf
2011 update from CCSDS:
http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/652x0m1.pdf

The 2011 update should mirror what's in ISO 16363.

Most of the other certifications that I've seen look more at the 
organization, and don't have specific portions for technology.

-Joe


ps.  A quick search for 'SharePoint' and 'OAIS' led me to :

http://www.eprints.org/events/or2011/hargood.pdf

... which as best I can tell is the abstract for a poster at OR2011.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

Sounds like maybe more of a project management software vs. bug tracking?

For a big project with lots of moving parts we use Jira in the "agile" mode but

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?

[Mark Pernotto]

Bohyun,

Apologies for the ambiguity.  I didn't know if you were restricted to a
specific CMS or platform already, or if you'd have the ability/freedom to
extend development of a payment gateway yourself.  For example, if you were
using WordPress, and were already locked in to Mijireh, or needed a
solution to fit some existing proprietary need.  It doesn't sound like
that's the case.

You will still need an SSL certificate on the domain you plan to run
charges through - but you can use non-SSL for testing purposes.  I've found
the documentation fairly easy to navigate, but I've been implementing their
solutions for a couple of years now, and perhaps familiar with how they've
set things up.

Just a thought - if you're replacing a cash register at the front desk, you
could also look into Square (https://square.com).  I think they're giving
that little square credit card swipey-thingy away now for free after
successful registration/activation.  You could just pickup an inexpensive
Android Tablet or find a used iPod Touch to handle transactions.  They
don't offer an embedded API for use in websites - yet.

I hope that helps!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Jesse Martinez]

I know of a few colleagues in different orgs who have had good success
using Redmine for task delegation (issue tracking) for small internal
projects.

I've used JIRA for years and it is extremely flexible and has nice custom
workflow controls. Like others have mentioned, it can be overkill for small
projects, though.

Actually, you might be a good fit for Basecamp.

Since you are largely a SaaS user, Unfuddle might also be of interest.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Cynthia Ng]

I've worked with both JIRA and Redmine. For a small team, I think Redmine
is a little easier to get going with (and free), but JIRA is very
customizable (but can take a decent amount of initial time setting it up).

Both have the capability of grabbing issues via email, so in both cases
when I worked with them, staff could fill out a form (on the intranet),
which would send information formatted a certain way (based on the form
inputs) so that they are automatically added to the relevant project and
such.

Not sure about the scheduling part. I know you can set a "due date", which
could serve as a reminder.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Priscilla Caplan]

I am using Asana.  It is easy to get the hang of, has a lot of features, and 
the free version is fully functional.  Works well for lightweight task lists 
and (still testing but it seems like) also heavier project planning/dependency 
type task lists.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Michael Schofield]

Super suggestions in this thread. For the sake of transparency we do a few 
things:

1. Staff can report problems or make feature requests through a ticketing 
system we built that's baked into our WordPress network.

2. I personally use Trello for our scrum, with literally the scrum for Trello 
FF/Chrome add-ons and a burn-down chart. It's public if you're looking for a 
little inspiration. https://trello.com/b/5wflMskO/sherman-library

3. We use issues in Github. This is helpful for our staff because the commit 
includes the issue number so others can see exactly what's been fixed, when, 
and how.

Re: [CODE4LIB] LC Call # splitting/sorting scripts?

[Eric Phetteplace]

Bill Dueber wrote a gem for that:
https://github.com/billdueber/lc_callnumber

Since he did specifically ask for Ruby or Python. Looks like the Google
Code link has a Python solution in it.

Best,
Eric

I had (sample of one) to jump through so many hoops and still couldn't

FWIW All bitbucket needs is a .edu account and they will give you
unlimited repos. Sure not as *cool* as github but also has had less
bad press than github. ;-)

If the processor you are using does something weird with white space,
you'll avoid it by having the white space in text element. You may need a
more precise XPath, depending on the context of your template, but the
initial statement didn't look to bad.

Hope that helps.
Best,
Bridger

Re: [CODE4LIB] OAI Crosswalk XSLT

[Bridger Dyson-Smith]

And just because I'm drinking too much coffee...

If you're using an XSLT 2.0 processor for this you can do some things with
variables that might make things a little easier; e.g.





You can call those variables in a concat() function and you won't have to
deal with wonky spacing in your output. There are almost certainly a bunch
of much better ways to do this - I'll never be anything better than an XSLT
apprentice - but it might be a good starting point.

See the second  for the difference in output.
Cheers.

We use bitbucket for both the free private repos and issue tracking here.

In my experience, their issue tracker is not nearly as good at
Github's (which isn't particularly surprising since they'd like you to
pay for Jira.)

Github's education discounts looked to me like they were aimed
specifically at teaching rather than being free for any use by an
educational institution when I looked at them, but I don't remember if
there was specific language that gave me that impression or just vague
"use github in the classroom!" marketing. I know Jira does actually
distinguish between "use at an educational institution" and "classroom
use" in their discounted vs. free policy.

If I could get free Travis for Private Repos along with free Github
I'd switch in a second; I don't know that the improved issue tracker
alone would be worth the effort for me.

Well, if you can accommodate Perl, here's software that will enable that:

and look at cnparse.lib

[Michael Schofield]

Maybe we could share our decisions behind whether we keep our github/bitbucket 
repositories public or private. For the most part, I keep web and other 
non-sensitive code completely public. While there's a little red tape around 
releasing themes we've built as, ah, "packages," intrepid diggers would find 
most of it on Github.

Obviously all of our database connections / patron apis aren't a part of that, 
but I think largely the health [and independence] of #libweb stuff relies on 
sharing and good-natured ripping off.  Even if the code is awful, I'm not too 
concerned with private repos.

and "classroom use" in their discounted vs. free policy.

If I could get free Travis for Private Repos along with free Github I'd switch 
in a second; I don't know that the improved issue tracker alone would be worth 
the effort for me.

Rob,

I recommend you try them all and then write a comparative review for the 
Code4lib Journal. ;-)

Re: [CODE4LIB] online payment system for libraries?

[Kim, Bohyun]

Hi Mark,

OIC. I understand now. We are not using a CMS right now but actually have
been asked to move our library website into Terminal 4 CMS selected by the
university media office by the end of this October. (Yup, another
proprietary CMS one hears about first time.) So that may be a concern in
this case. I see that Stripe has a plugin for WP and we have several WP
sites so that may be a fast option for us as well. Thanks for mentioning
Square. I think the circ desk folks at mpow does not want to handle
payment at all and move all payment to online. But I will let them know
about Square as an option. OK if I email you with questions if I run into
any issue while investigating Stripe?

If you have the library payment page using Stripe accessible without
authentication by any chance, I would love to see it as well.

Thanks!
Bohyun

Re: [CODE4LIB] Private Repos WAS: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Terrell, Trey]

Around a year ago we drafted and implemented an open source policy
(http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/ets/guidelines) that says our default
stance is public repositories, both for projects in active development and
those we consider stable or orphaned. We¹re still at the beginning of the
process, so we still occasionally have some private repositories for those
projects with seriously specific scope or projects which we haven¹t
invested the time into to make public (via using environment variables for
passwords and such.) However, if you¹d like to see some of what we¹ve
published feel free to check us out - http://github.com/osulp .

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?

[Terrell, Trey]

It likely helped that we already had a variety of open source projects on
github, and I told them our primary impetus for private repositories was
to get off of gitlab and centralize everything with them.

[CODE4LIB] Call for Student/Recent Graduate Proposals

[Holley Long]

Call for Student and Recent Graduate Proposals 
Digital Liaisons: Building Communities and Empowering Culture through Digital 
Libraries
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday, September 19, 2014
ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: Monday, September 29, 2014

The Special Interest Group for Digital Libraries 
(http://www.asis.org/sig/sigdl) of the Association for Information Science & 
Technology (ASIS&T) is seeking proposals from students and recently graduated 
professionals (having graduated May 2012 or later) for a student panel at the 
ASIS&T 2014 Annual Meeting in Seattle on October 31 – November 4, 2014.

This session is intended to provide students and recent graduates with an 
opportunity to present their work during the ASIST annual conference on areas 
of interest relevant to information and knowledge management. The session will 
also serve as a social meeting point to facilitate networking between students, 
faculty, and professionals. Note: Presenters do not have to attend the 
conference in order to qualify. To accommodate individuals who cannot attend 
the conference, we are accepting pre-made video presentations and mailed-in 
posters. All abstracts, presentation media, and posters will be published on 
the SIG DL website after the conference.

Topics
Poster and lightning talk presentation proposals should focus on innovative 
projects that explore digital libraries through topics concerning community 
and/or culture, in keeping with this year’s ASIS&T annual meeting theme. 
Proposals may include, but are not limited to, past research, case studies, and 
current projects on areas such as social network analysis, linked data, open 
access and new publishing models, crowdsourcing, big data, digital humanities, 
citizen science, or other projects falling within the panel’s theme. (The list 
is meant to be illustrative, not prescriptive.)

Who is Eligible?
Submissions can be made as a single author or a group of authors, including 
collaborations between students or recent graduates from different 
institutions. Student ASIST chapters are particularly encouraged to submit a 
poster as a group. Authors do NOT need to be members of ASIS&T. However, they 
must pay for the conference registration fee and related expenses if attending 
in person. Students and recent graduates are encouraged to consult faculty and 
professional mentors but should not allow them to be a significant contributor 
to the content. All research is expected to be purely the students' or recent 
graduates' work and could include coursework, internship experiences, work 
related experience, and independent interests, including theses or other 
capstone projects.

Selection Criteria
Up to 10 posters and 5 lightning talk proposals will be accepted for the panel 
session. Poster submissions must include an abstract of no less than 250 words 
and a one page storyboard or mockup of the poster. Lightning talk submissions 
must include a two page paper using the ASIST short paper template available at 
https://www.asis.org/asist2014/AM14ProceedingsFormat.pdf. Students should 
indicate whether they will be present at the conference and which format they 
plan to present. Both posters and lightning talk proposals will be selected 
based on the following criteria: relevance of topics to the Digital Liaisons 
session and SIG DL mission, feasibility of presentation within a compressed 
format, and originality of research.

Awards
The following awards will be given at the session.
● $300 for the best paper
● $150 for the best poster
● $100 for honorable mention paper
● $100 for honorable mention poster

Submission and Deadline
Authors are invited to submit proposals by filling out a form at 
http://tinyurl.com/k85n3ad anytime until 11:59 pm EST, September 19, 2014. 
Selections will be made by a panel of judges. If you have any questions, please 
email Holley Long at holley.l...@colorado.edu.
