[CODE4LIB] Interoperability with GOKB
GOKb is expected to interoperate with other knowledge bases and linking environments. (*http://www.librarytechnology.org/ltg-displaytext.pl?RC=18671) Marshall Breeding made that assertion in September 2013. What evidence exists to suggest that GOKb will be interoperable with the knowledgebases of Ex Libris, Proquest, ExLibris, and OCLC?

Re: [CODE4LIB] code4lib midwest
http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Midwest I attended Code4Lib Midwest last week, and from my perspective it was a roaring success. Kudos to Kyle Felker, Erin Fisher, Eric Kunnen, Kristin Meyer, Matthew Reidsma, and anybody else I may have missed for putting on such a well-organized and fulfilling event. The visit to the “maker space” and start-up company were bonuses. —Eric “Too Lazy To Write A Travelogue” Morgan
[CODE4LIB] LITA Call for Proposals, ALA Annual 2015
The LITA Program Planning Committee (PPC) is now accepting innovative and creative proposals for the 2015 Annual American Library Association Conference. We're looking for full day pre-conference ideas as well as 60- and 90-minute conference presentations. The focus should be on technology in libraries, whether that's use of, new ideas for, trends in, or interesting/innovative projects being explored - it’s all for you to propose. In 2014, we received over 60 proposals, resulting in 20 great LITA programs at the 2014 Annual Conference, all of which came from contributions like yours. We look forward to hearing the great ideas you will share with us this year. *When/Where is the Conference?* 2015 Annual ALA Conference, San Francisco, CA, June 25 – 30, 2015 *What kind of topics are we looking for? * We’re looking for programs of interest to all library/information agency types, that inspire technological change and adoption, or/and generally go above and beyond the everyday. Some successful topics in the 2014 included: Practical Linked Data with Open Source (Full-day preconference); Technology Priorities for the New Library Reality; Building Gorgeous Responsive Websites with Twitter-Bootstrap. Some topics we are interested in are: library hackathons; data management curation; responsive web design; homegrown technology tools, especially projects that adapt popular technologies in use outside libraries, for library use. *When are proposals due? * September 2, 2014 *How I do submit a proposal? * Fill out this form http://bit.ly/LiCFP15 Program descriptions should be 75 words or less. *When will I have an answer? * The committee will be reviewing proposals after September 2; final decisions will be made by October 1. *Do I have to be a member of ALA/LITA/an IG/a committee?* No! We welcome proposals from anyone who feels they have something to offer regarding library technology. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide financial support for speakers. Because of the limited number of programs, LITA IGs and Committees will receive preference where two equally well written programs are submitted. Presenters may be asked to combine programs or work with an IG/Committee where similar topics have been proposed. *Got another question?* Please feel free to email me (PPC chair) (dsshap...@wisc.edu Thanks! dsshap...@wisc.edu Debra Shapiro UW-Madison SLIS Helen C.

Re: [CODE4LIB] iiif compatible servers
Thanks for the replies. Seeing the resolver discussion and implementations is very helpful. In a previous implementation, I basically used javascript to pass an fedora image datastream to the rft_id and used functions to update other parameters, a basic resolver I guess. But now will be trying to tie in other features that were exhibited here including file system resolution, caching, and template abstraction/extraction. We also have specific access needs and these will mostly likely addressed as a PEP to be layered in between the iiif request and image server wrapper, the specifics of which I'd be glad to pass along once coalesced. -Eric From: Code for Libraries [CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] on behalf of Justin Coyne [jus...@curationexperts.com] Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2014 12:28 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] iiif compatible servers Jon, In case you're interested, here's my implementation of a HTTP file resolver: https://github.com/curationexperts/riiif/blob/master/lib/riiif/http_file_resolver.rb It can take a block for resolving ids to URLs: https://github.com/curationexperts/absolute/blob/a6f548bfe64d8a5478bd00d42bd3546f9967ffd1/config/initializers/riiif_initializer.rb#L12-L18 -Justin On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 10:07 PM, Jon Stroop jstr...@princeton.edu wrote: Eric, FWIW, an HTTP resolver that could be used with Fedora has been a big topic for Loris recently, and a few of us are trying to spec out what that would look like.

Does anyone have a good solution to recommend for display of very large images on the web?

A URL to more info to learn about things would be another way of answering this question, especially if it involves special server-side software. I'm not sure where to begin. Googling around I can't find any clearly good solutions. Has anyone done this before and been happy with a solution? Thanks for any info! Jonathan
