Hi Code4Lib community,
I have been a lurker and occasional contributor on this listserv for about
7 years now. In January I am leaving the library profession to work
full-time as a software developer. Thank you all for your support and help
along the way. This community is an absolutely essential
I agree with Kate here. This seems too much like those cases where one
patron leaves an empty bag of chips on a table, so the whole library
plasters obnoxious "NO FOOD ON THE TABLES" signs all over and creates a
12-person ad hoc committee to discuss food policies. I don't think we need
to create a
I am initially repelled by the idea of formalizing an organization and the
bureaucracy it entails. But then I realize that's probably the only way to
moderate the community without depending on a benevolent-dictator
moderation model. Now I am just depressed that we live in such a world
where those
I agree with everything Kyle said except that it doesn't make you better at
other things. The sysadmin skills I learned in figuring out self-hosting
have transferred to many parts of my career inside and outside libraries
and have helped me land jobs several times. Of course that's a pretty
selfish
I think updating the Code of Conduct is a great idea but shutting down the
thread for an unspecified period of time is a not-so-great idea.

If you are able to manage your own server with basic Linux sysadmin skills,
I've had decent experiences with Digital Ocean, Linode, and Vultr, with
Vultr currently being the cheapest option last I checked.

I'm just kind of shocked honestly. I have seen non-toxic discussions on

I am actually quite confused about why the Code4Lib community is acting so
annoyed by this topic. I am totally ignorant of the background here. Is the
frustration with the topic itself or with this person?

Hi Birkin,
I have experience with this sort of thing, but I've been doing it as a

Hi all,
Can anyone explain the relationship between IFLA LRM, BIBFRAME, and PREMIS?

it is just a list of top-level entities involved in a bibliographic

Hi all,
We are about to embark on a first-time project encoding some of our special
collections pathfinders in EAD format. The staff involved have no
experience with EAD and minimal experience with XML at all. Does anyone
know of any good learning/training materials, whether book, video, online

Hi all,
I have a question about how to model a resource expressed in BIBFRAME. We
are digitizing some unique collections. Ideally, I'd like to have one URI
like http://example.org/myuri that returns one RDF document containing data
about the Work, the Instance, and the Item. There are two ways I c

Kyle, are all your Glacier/S3 assets backed up by a person, or is it
automated as part of an IR software package of some sort?

We're a mid-sized university library (10,000 fte) trying to get an IR off
the ground to showcase student and faculty research. We've had a DSpace
instance running for several years, but we use so few of its features that
DSpace ends up being more trouble than it is worth. In particular, it's

I have sort of inherited authority control recently at my library, and I

an easy way to query blind name references against the LC Name Authority

Our library has a DVD browsing web page. Right now, it gets cover art and
other metadata from TMDB.org (since IMDB has too restrictive of licensing),
which requires a staff person to go manually to TMDB.org, find the DVD, and
copy its ID number into a local record. Does anyone know of a more

We are exploring migrating from a III Sierra system to Alma or OCLC WMS.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar migration you'd be willing

I'm thinking of using Amazon Mechanical Turk to do quick testing on some
new UIs for our library website. The testing needs to be done over summer
when there are few students available. Does anyone have experience using
MTurk for UI testing and have any pointers for what works well and what
doesn't
