Re: [CODE4LIB] 'automation' tools

Thanks again all, I love OpenRefine - I've been working on the GOKb project (http://gokb.org) where K-Int (a UK based company) have developed an extension for OpenRefine which helps with the cleaning of data about electronic resources (esp. journals) from publishers and then pushes it into the

I'm a librarian, and a slightly poor excuse for a coder second. I've always focussed on the IT/tech side of librarianship in my career and did at one point cross from libraries into more general IT management - then firmly put myself back into libraries. To a certain extent I left library employ

Re: [CODE4LIB] Looking for a service manual for Canon MS800 scanner.

Thanks Riley That is all I found also and since the scanner does not have a paper tray :-) I guess I will have to sit on hold for a bit and see what Canon can give me. I find when it comes to old equipment (as I have been a IT guy for 26 years), it ¹s real hard to get the vendor to help fix old.

Re: [CODE4LIB] 'automation' tools

Definite cosign on Open Refine. It's intuitive and spreadsheet-like enough that a lot of people can understand it. You can do anything from standardizing state names you get from a patron form to normalizing metadata keywords for a database, so I think it'd be useful even for non-techies. Ruth

Re: [CODE4LIB] 'automation' tools

It's your choice of a CSV or text file. At a previous library, we used the III Millennium inventory system. You could edit this file with a macro to make it suitable for ingestion into the inventory system, and then upload it to III and process it from there. I don't think III is still selling
