This sounds like a more constructive approach than creating a sweeping
harassment policy. Perhaps we're getting somewhere after all.
I don't think either the assumption that no Code4Lib members would
intentionally harass people or the assumption that no Code4Lib members
would spuriously claim to b

How are libraries doing this and how well is it working?
Most systems that even claim to have authority control simply allow a
controlled keyword list. But this does nothing for the see and see also

Hello fine code4libbers, I have a technical question about metadata

Hi all,
To add to what Francis said, we will send out final travel and logistics
information in an email to all registered conference attendees after
registration closes January 31. The local conference planning committee will
also ensure the wiki and the website is completely up to date and acc
Hi Kyle,
If you are thinking of doing name or subject authority control you
might want to check out OCLC's VIAF AutoSuggest service [1] and FAST
AutoSuggest [2]. There are also autosuggest searches for the name and
subject authority files, that are lightly documented in their
OpenSearch document [
Has anyone created a nice little wrapper around FAST? I'd like to test out
including FAST subjects in our catalog, but am hoping someone else went
through the work of building the code to do it :-) I know FAST has a web
interface, but I've got about 10M records and would rather use something
local.
Thanks, Eric,
If you do look at the genderized names, the ratio of female to male is
about 39% to 61%, which isn't far off the numbers that Roslyn got on her
survey. (42% to 58%, if I recall) That does mean that we have to assume
that the folks who didn't include a name are as likely to be mal
I think that Mike Giarlo and Michael Witt used the FAST AutoSuggest as
part of their databib project [1]. But are you talking about bringing
the data down for a local index?

The lightning talks are one of the highlights of the annual Code4Lib gathering.
They are five-minute-long presentations that can be used to showcase new

Trello has been mentioned a few times on list for project management,

I was wondering if talks from the conference would be streamed this year?
It was really great to have it the last time I was unable to attend.

Yes, thanks to the people at UIC Learning Environments & Technology Services
the conference will be streamed and archived. We are awaiting details, but
certainly will publicize it widely when we have them.

Right -- I'd like to show the FAST stuff as facets in our catalog search
(or, at least try it out and see if anyone salutes). So I'd need to inject
the FAST data into the records at index time.
