Re: [CODE4LIB] De-dup MARC Ebook records

Yes, open library implemented it, and, of course, where it doesn't work is where the data is pretty bad. If you prefer to err on the side of merging, you can loosen the algorithm's weights. It's based on the algorithm used for the U Cal union catalog, which was exercised over about 20 years. La

Re: [CODE4LIB] Desk Statistics Software Question

Thanks for all your responses, folks. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations of systems/platforms specifically for recording reference questions (and answers) and putting together a searchable knowledge base? Seems like Gilmet might be good for this -any others? Helen On 2013-08-22 12:4

Re: [CODE4LIB] Desk Statistics Software Question

+1 for Gimlet. At my former employeer they worked with me to get our legacy data into Gimlet and the staff enjoyed the simplicity of the interface. It was also nice to have one less thing to host and maintain. Cheers, paul - Paul R Butler Library

I like your line graph. Mine is using simple css to draw the bar. I am working on using google chart api to draw combo graph (bar + line). Once I finish it, it should look much nicer. .NET has its own chart controls, but it's server side and clumsy. - Kelly Zhu -Original Message- F

We use Suma. This may or may not have something to do with the fact that Jason Casden works upstairs from our reference desk.

Steve, I don't think it's so much find a control field (however, the closest match I can use is ISBN or eISBN which has its issues) but also normalizing the data in the fields so that matches are produced. It will no doubt take some time to figure out. Mike Beccaria Systems Librarian Head of Di
