[CODE4LIB] Code4lib 2016 Conference Program

[David Lacy]

Greetings,


The code4lib program committee has completed the final schedule for this year's 
national conference, and the web committee has published it to the conference's 
web site.


http://2016.code4lib.org/schedule


The last few months involved endless discussion on ways to change the structure 
of the event to accommodate more content, and more discussion. The result of 
which has produced two significant changes to the program.


The first sees the creation of 15 minute talks, that in turn make room for 10 
minute talks that would have typically not been part of the program. This new 
structure adds 8 additional talks to program, which is an increase the 
committee is very pleased with. The second change includes a panel 
incorporating 4 talks, followed by a 15 minute discussion.


We look forward to seeing everyone next month!


Sincerely,


The 2016 code4lib Program and Web Committees

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib 2016 Registration is Closed

[David Lacy]

Dear Code4lib Community,

The first wave of registration for Code4lib 2016 is officially closed.

In the next several weeks will we finalize the conference program and 
presenters. Shortly after the Holidays, all sponsors, presenters, and workshop 
facilitators will be notified privately regarding their registration status. 
Once all required attendees have been reconciled, the second wave of 
registration will be announced.

Phew...

[CODE4LIB] Code4lib 2016 Registration Update

[David Lacy]

In addition to a reminder for tomorrow's registration, we would like to go over 
some details of the registration process.

1) There are going to be 2 opportunities to register. Tomorrow is the first, 
where we will be making available 290 spots. Once we have determined that all 
required attendees have registered (sponsors, presenters, workshop leaders), we 
will reopen registration again in early January for the remaining spots. The 
total capacity is 440.

2) The registration system maintains a 2 hour session per registration attempt. 
Due to the potential of heavy access and this prolonged session, the conference 
may appear to sell out quickly. But once early failed sessions expire, more 
spots may open up beginning around 2pm. Because of this we ask you not to 
assume it is sold out until you hear an announcement from the planning 
committee.

3) There will be no waiting list at this time. A waiting list will open when we 
release the second round of registration slots.

4) The conference program is not complete at this time. The election results 
can be found here: http://2016.code4lib.org/talks/. This list represents the 
presentation voting results. Only the top ten (highlighted) have been accepted 
so far. As in recent years, the remainder of the program will be curated by the 
program committee, taking into account voting results, topic diversity, and 
speaker diversity. These selections will be announced in coming weeks

5) Registration will include the option to select preconference workshops. To 
view the available workshops beforehand, see 
http://2016.code4lib.org/workshops. Wait lists will be available for workshops, 
and you will receive relevant instructions with your confirmation email.

And finally, the reminder:

Registration opens Thursday 12/10/2015 at 12pm EST. At that time a link to the 
registration system will be provided to the mailing list.

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib 2016: Philadelphia - Save the Date

[David Lacy]

The Code4Lib 2016 Philadelphia Committee is pleased to announce that we have 
finalized the dates and location of the 2016 conference.

The 2016 conference will be held from March 7 through March 10 in the Old City 
District of Philadelphia.  This location puts conference attendees within easy 
walking distance of many of Philadelphia’s historical treasures, including 
Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Constitution Center, and the house 
where Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence. Attendees will 
also be a very short distance from the Delaware River waterfront and will be a 
short walk from numerous excellent restaurants.

As we’ll be reserving almost all of the space within the hotel for our 
conference (both rooms and conference spaces), Code4Lib 2016 will have the 
tight-knit community feel we know is important.

More details to come soon; in the meantime, the Keynote Committee is gearing up 
to open submissions for the conference keynote speaker, so be sure to contact 
them at pace...@gmail.com for more information, or you can nominate a keynote 
speaker at http://wiki.code4lib.org/2016_Invited_Speakers_Nominations.  

Also, our Sponsorship Committee is actively looking for sponsors for 2016, so 
please contact the committee via Shaun Ellis at sha...@princeton.edu to learn 
about all the ways your organization can help sponsor our 2016 conference.

It’s shaping up to be a great conference this year, and there will be lots more 
opportunities to volunteer. Our team is looking forward to seeing you on March 
7!

Re: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and metadata

[David Lacy]

Our digital collections contain multi-page works of scanned imagery, single 
documents, and sometimes a combination of both. Below is an example of a letter 
containing both scanned images and document transcriptions.

The descriptive of the metadata is applied to the parent work, but each 
accompanying binary file includes technical metadata.

 Subject: [CODE4LIB] examples of displays for compound objects and
 metadata
 
 We're migrating from CONTENTdm and trying to figure out how to display
 compound objects (or the things formerly known as compound objects) and
 metadata for the end user. Can anyone point me to really good examples
 of displaying items like this, especially where the user can see
 metadata for parts of the whole? I'm looking more for examples of the
 layout of all the different components on the page (or pages) rather
 than specific image viewers. Our new system is homegrown, so we have a
 lot of flexibility in deciding where things go.
 
 We essentially have:
 -the physical item (multiple files per item of images of text, plain
 text, pdf) -metadata about the item -possibly metadata about a part of
 the item (think title/author/subjects for a newspaper article within
 the whole newspaper issue), of which the titles might be used for
 navigation through the whole item.
 
 I think Hathi Trust has a good example of all these components coming
 together (except viewing non-title metadata for parts), and I'm curious
 if there are others. Or do most places just skip creating/displaying
 any kind of metadata for the parts of the whole?
 
 Thanks for any help!

 The conference organizers have (with good reason) closed the window on
 official changes to the participant list, and with matching available slots
 to waitlisted participants. So unless they choose to publish the waitlist,
 we're stuck with the ad hoc grab bag system.

 There might be a good way to use the wiki for this, but I'm not sure it's
 worth it at this point if the mailing list method is working.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Web platform for digitized books

[David Lacy]

Try looking at our FOSS DL system VuDL, [vudl.org]

It is a standalone repository of METS xml and file data that is exposed via 
OAI-PMH. The indexing and frontend are handled by VuFind [vufind.org] or by any 
other system capable of harvesting OAI records (theoretically)

I recall finding this and thinking it cool, but that it's only a 
frontend library (i.e. JS/CSS); I'm chiefly interested (at this point) 
in the backend data storage, metadata, structure, indexing, etc.

Thanks to the recommenders of XTF, looks like this is what I hadn't 
stumbled across before.

Calibre seems to be a tool to manage and perhaps share one's personal 
ebook collection, but not for hosting.

Forgot to mention in my initial salvo: I tried toying around with 
Drupal. We built our main website in D6. I looked at D7 for this, and 
was left with the impression that the D7 data model and Field API 
(really the API) is complex enough that it's not worth learning it 
unless you're going to be developing Drupal apps on a serious and 
continuous basis.

I truly could not fathom the API calls involved in doing anything 
interesting with content types, etc. Like spending 45 minutes wading 
through docs and tuts to write a few lines of field-definition code. And 
not being able to do it again the next day. May as well just create my 
own tables, but that defeats the whole point of using the Drupal APIs. 
Sorry for hijacking my own thread into a Drupal rant :) If anybody knows 
of any magical tutorials, let me know.
