Re: [CODE4LIB] Public Health Metadata

[Kyle Banerjee]

BTW, I hope you share the solution you decide to implement.

Public health research goes on at a lot of institutions (including mine),
and I'm always looking for ways to address weaknesses in our current
practices/systems.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Forming a Coalition of Libraries running Tor exit nodes: C4L 2016 Breakout Followup

[David J. Fiander]

The simplest thing to do (for a suitable definition of "simple") is, 
rather than setting up a new IP range for the exit node, tell your 
vendors to exclude the IP address of the exit node. Much like vendors 
who don't allow off-campus access (*cough* uptodate) exclude the proxy 
server address already.

Hi all, Andromeda forwarded me this email and so I decided to join the

Welcome---I'm glad you joined.

I work at a large university where the library has a small IT department
and the university has a large one.  University IT ultimately controls
everything about networking and security.  Library IT is concerned about
security, and library administration is concerned about making sure our
contracts with vendors aren't broken by us accidentally opening up JSTOR
and PsycInfo to Tor users.

How have academic libraries like mine been arranging exit nodes?  Do you
have any advice, regarding the technology and the advocacy, that would
help?  We tell vendors our IP range---how could I convince people to set
up a new one for the exit node?

I would suggest that the best subject list for database list might be the
list of departments and or faculties you have on campus.

That's how we chose to express our subject areas (
http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/research-tools)

Our reasoning was largely based on this paper, "Students, Librarians, and
Subject Guides: Improving a Poor Rate of Return" by Brenda Reeb and Susan
Gibbons (
http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/portal_libraries_and_the_academy/v004/4.1reeb.html)
who suggest that students have a hard time mapping research topics to
subjects and so ideally, our databases / subject guides should be mapped at
a course level. That was considered too much for us, so we map to the
Department level instead.


That's what we did at York, too:

http://www.library.yorku.ca/subjects/

That list hasn't been tended in four years, though, and is under consideration 
for being dropped in favour of the sadly ubiquitous LibGuides.
