[CODE4LIB] Bibframe contracts
Dear All, The Library of Congress has issued two solicitations (RFQs) for Bibframe-related development work. We want to be sure to advertise these possibilities to this community. You can read more about them at the below links. The first is for a Bibframe Search and Display tool (to be clear, this is /not/ to create a search and display tool for the entire LC catalog). https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunitymode=formid=11db76388c0caafa72f6bd6ccb3d159ftab=core_cview=0 The second is for a Bibframe Profiles editor (that is, an editor for the Profiles themselves): https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunitymode=formid=927b167c07002045e51cb8c53485fc4etab=core_cview=0 Proposals relating to both are due next week (Aug 6). We want to encourage any interested developer, or developer team, to respond to the RFQs. I frankly do not know what rules may pertain to bidding on US government contracts, but a quick review of the requirements for registering for government contracting suggests that it isn't too arduous: http://www.sba.gov/content/register-government-contracting For example, a DUNS number and EIN can be acquired in a day. I think these could make for ideal side projects for a small team of interested developers from this community. So many of you have the skills and expertise needed to really produce a very interesting software solution to the above solicitations. I can't answer any questions about these contracts in this forum, but you can use the contacts listed at the bottom of the above pages if you have questions. Those inquiries are forwarded to us, we answer them, and then the information is posted publicly so that everyone interested in the opportunity has access to the same information.

The following message about the Crowdsourcing Consortium for Libraries and Archives project is being forwarded upon request. —ELM From: Christina manzo.christ...@gmail.com Subject: Please Distribute [Crowdsourcing Consortium for Libraries and Archives project] Date: August 27, 2014 at 10:15:16 AM EDT …this message is about the Crowdsourcing Consortium for Libraries and Archives project supported by the IMLS. On behalf of our partners at Dartmouth College and Boston Public Library, we are pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new initiative, funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), that will examine how libraries, archives, and museums, can most effectively use crowdsourcing techniques to augment their collections and enhance their patrons’ experience! This initiative, provisionally entitled the Crowdsourcing Consortium for Libraries and Archives (CCLA), will employ a series of meetings and webinars to collect, examine, and share the most recent, cutting-edge technologies, tools, and platforms and accompanying best practices in the field. The goal of the CCLA is to create a forum that enables all interested stakeholders to join a national conversation about the most pressing needs and challenges regarding the development and deployment of crowdsourcing technologies in the cultural heritage domain. As a first step in this process, we want to hear from you! The CCLA team invites you to take a short 10-minute survey to share your thoughts on the current state of crowdsourcing in libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. [1] Your opinions and insights will directly inform the agenda of upcoming CCLA activities and events, influence the discourse of current and future discussions, and have the potential to translate into real-world applications. Thank you! P.S.To stay informed about upcoming CCLA events, please follow us on Twitter: @crowdconsortium [1] survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CGHJL7B
