Re: [CODE4LIB] Email Forwards to Database
Not to needlessly push vendor products, but have you considered LibAnswers from Springshare? We're using it with a similar workflow to what you describe (all emails to a queue, people claim messages and answer them). Pat On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 7:57 AM, scott bacon sdanielba...@gmail.com wrote: Just curious if anyone has any thoughts about this possibility (I already know it's not practical): Can I automatically forward to a database all emails sent to a specific email address? I've seen proprietary things like Email2DB, but is there a simple open source alternative? Background: At MPOW there is an admin site where employees periodically login and check for unanswered patron emails. Patrons submit a PHP email form, the form data is saved in a SQL database, and the admin site queries that database, which populates the tables in the admin site. Yes, this is convoluted, but just imagine that I'm not able to change this system to something more streamlined. This system was made by a previous employee I think in order to alleviate all emails going to an email alias, which creates issues with one email being answered twice by two different employees. So I would create a simple email address (say, a...@bob.edu) to give to patrons (vs. pushing them to a site to fill out a PHP form), but I want to avoid using an email alias that will push all new emails into all alias members' email boxes. The admin site method then would allows loggers-in to claim new emails and others then to see them as 'read'. Any thoughts, advice, threats? -Scott
Re: [CODE4LIB] EZ Proxy and Google Analytics
Google Analytics is run in the client browser, so EZProxy should not have any impact on that. I assume you are trying to filter based on IP? You can see an effect if you look at hostname details though, if you're using the domain rewriting functionality.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Stand Up Desks
I have a dual computer setup. I do the majority of my work on a mac and that's my sitting computer. I do the majority of email, scheduling, IE testing on a PC and that's my stand up station. On the mac I use an app called BreakTime set at 20 minute intervals to remind me to get up off my butt. I made my own stand-up station based off this article: http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikea-Standing-desk-for-22-dollars.html BreakTime cost $3. There is also this study from Cornell about how standing doesn't cure all ills. http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/CUESitStand.html *The bottom line: *Sit to do computer work. Sit using a height-adjustable, downward titling keyboard tray for the best work posture, then every 20 minutes stand for 2 minutes* AND MOVE*. The absolute time isn’t critical but about every 20-30 minutes take a posture break and move for a couple of minutes. Simply standing is insufficient. Movement is important to get blood circulation through the muscles. And movement is *FREE*! Research shows that you don’t need to do vigorous exercise (e.g. jumping jacks) to get the benefits, just walking around is sufficient. So build in a pattern of creating greater movement variety in the workplace (e.g. walk to a printer, water fountain, stand for a meeting, take the stairs, walk around the floor, park a bit further away from the building each day).

[CODE4LIB] Thoughts on Code4lib
Hi, I'm Pat and I have a bit of a long story for you. I work at California State University, Chico. I'm new to the library world. I don't have a MLS. I don't have a degree in computer science, computer engineering, or management systems. I have a BS in Biology. When I got my degree the biology program was fairly diverse and extremely friendly. The honors society was very welcoming, inclusive, and supportive. I then went to get a teaching credential because I thought I wanted to teach high school science. That program was very diverse and extremely unfriendly. It was full of mean, petty, judgmental students and teachers. After I figured out that being a high school science teacher was not what I was going to be good at, I went to get a Masters in computer science (spoiler: I didn't finish). There was no gender diversity. There were two groups, white males (of which I was one) and Indian males. The students from India mostly stuck to their own group. They claimed a lab and made it their own. Looking back, I'm sure I could have done a lot more to reach out, but I didn't. I had my small group of good friends and I put my head down and tried to get my classes done. Before I finished my MS, I took a job with a startup in San Francisco. I did four years in the bubble/bust days. The company I worked for had good gender diversity, even at the founder level. The surrounding environment was pretty much what you've heard or experienced. Fast-forward to now and again I work where there is above average gender diversity. I feel we have a good environment where people can speak their mind and contribute to always making our environment better. Having seen a number of different environments and communities through the years, I think that code4lib has a pretty good thing going. Can we be better than we already are? Of course. Does the desire to make things better constitute a condemnation of the present status? Of course not. I salute everybody trying hard to make code4lib better. I just also wanted to say that I think this group is at the top of my list for communities that are welcoming, supportive, and embrace diversity. Thanks for listening, Pat

It depends on your configuration. In our instance, EZProxy is configured so that 132.241.x.x represents on campus. Our VPN will give out 132.241.x.x IPs. So, if you use VPN, you are on campus in the eyes of EZProxy (and thus would not be prompted for authentication). So, basically what IPs is EZProzy including and what IPs does your VPN hand out is the key question.

Re: [CODE4LIB] ERIC PDF download

Re: [CODE4LIB] Trends with virtualization
As others have mentioned, you have to know what problem you're trying to solve before you start looking at solutions. Crazy, I know... We're looking at a virtual lab environment because we don't have a lot of qualified lab managers in departments that refuse to allow central IT to manage their labs. Long story, politics, etc... But for this scenario we can provide custom images with the right software and better access all the while freeing up a room. Basically the student can access the lab image from their own machine or any other machine without needed to be in a physical lab. This is great if you don't need any special hardware in the lab. Also, as previously mentioned, if you can't cover 100% of the desktops what is the cost going to be to have two ways of managing desktops and will the savings in going virtual cover the added cost of doing the same thing two ways? Exceptions cost money and seem to rarely be factored into the final bill. Server virtualization has been wonderful though. Savings in electricity are real[1]. Physical servers are still called in when needed (Oracle, etc). If you want to start somewhere, this is the place. Pat [1] Sorry, I don't have the numbers but I've been told they're real. On Sun, Jul 10, 2011 at 7:46 AM, Karen Schneider kgschnei...@gmail.comwrote: Dear C4L community, One of the VPs on campus asks me from time to time on trends with virtualization in academic settings -- specifically, virtualized desktops. My own response (qualified with I am not an IT person, but...) has been that I believe, based on what I read, that this highly-promising technology isn't more widespread for several interrelated reasons (that are also applicable to our campus environment: a) ROI is not as clear, especially in smaller environments (startup cost, network, storage); b) university WANs are often not be robust enough to support virtualized desktops (and I'd add, we're on an uphill Sisyphean climb with bandwidth--there will never be enough of it); c) outside of the lab/classroom environment (where I think an argument can be made for virtualization, if other conditions are met, and the campus has the expertise to deploy/manage this environment), the ROI of a virtualized desktop may be mooted by the need for individualized desktops; d) it's a single point of failure. My down-home-country-librarian observation that I always tack on (with plenty of disclaimers) is If virtualization were the answer, we'd see more of it by now. I realize that's a humble insight, but given how many talks I've been to over the past decade about what virtualization *would* be doing, versus what it *has* done, I think it's not entirely invalid. I also pointed the Veep toward this article: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/061809-desktop-virtualization.html So... any thoughts? Resources? POVs? Etc.?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Same CMS for both Intranet and Public websites?
While we don't use it for precisely this scenario, it would be pretty simple to implement. We use Cascade from Hannon Hill. It was the tool that best fit our model of web site management (aka complete chaos). I was involved in selecting Cascade, so if you want to know more about that just hit me up off-list. The wins: Publishes static files, so the CMS isn't the web server LDAP Auth Template system allowing for easy site creation while still maintaining control over the page structure. Multiple publishing targets (pushes over SFTP) The fails: It doesn't magically update your content based on what you're thinking that day.
