[CODE4LIB] Library Hours Fail

2014-11-18 Thread Mary E. Hanlin
Hi All,

I know this has been covered a bit here, but I have a rather exigent conundrum, 
and I'm hoping to figure out the best/easiest solution.  Yesterday, the script 
to hour library hours (on our front page) which pulls from Google calendar 
stopped working (Error at line undefined in undefined[!] - the exclamation 
point is mine; it seemed like it needed one.)  

Basically, the code came from a site that walked one through how to call daily 
hours (javascript) using Google's V2 API, but the V2 is fully deprecated (as I 
abruptly discovered), and I need to figure out another solution.  (I haven't 
been able to find similar documentation for V3's API.) 

Some constraints: 1. Our IT will not support php.We are an .NET shop with 
IIS servers.  2. We may not have the dough to pay for something like LibCal 
which seems to me the easiest solution.  3.  I'm semi-new to this 
Internets/webmaster thing, and really only know front-end coding, so a 
solution involving something like .NET, Python, etc. would have to have, How 
to make a peanut butter sandwich, kind of documentation.  

Right now, I've just manually coded our hours, which is fine until Saturday 
when our hours change, and I'm not here (hopefully).  I will be super grateful 
for insight or knowledge.  

Mary.

[CODE4LIB] Screencasting Usability Studies

2014-02-27 Thread Mary E. Hanlin
Hi All,

Sorry if this has been discussed before. (I'm new to the list.)  But, has 
anyone conducted usability studies using screencast software?  If so, what 
software works well? (Morae is too pricey; I'm thinking along the lines of 
Camtasia, Silverback, etc.)

Also, do you have any anecdotal advice regarding what worked and what didn't?  
Thanks in advance.
