Hello All,
Is anyone interested in hosting the Code4Lib North 2015 meeting? I was going
to volunteer and have St. Catharines ON be the place for this year but if
someone has a desire to host I will graciously defer. Similarly if anyone is
willing to help me run the event I'd be happy for
LITA is now the smallest ALA division.
Personally, as someone who’s been involved with LITA for 20 years, I think the
decrease is due to all the reasons Kevin cites below, and also because of
something of an identity crisis - related to the advent of the Internet, as
Eric says.
LITA is the
I’m curious, how large is LITA (Library and Information Technology
Association)? [0] How many members does it have?
Apparently it has around 3000 members this year. I found this on the ALA
membership statistics page:

Interesting and thank you. Code4Lib only needs fifty more subscribers to equal
LITA’s size. I think this just goes to show, with the advent of the Internet,
centralized authorities are not as necessary/useful as they once used to be.

Also, I would point out that libraries increasingly hire non-librarians in
technology positions. That likely means that even if said persons might
eventually find Code4Lib, their allegiance to a profession as epitomized by
ALA is unlikely.

Hi Code4Libbers,
In case you are interested in attending or staying in the know about the PBCore
RDF ontology hackathon happening on February 7 8 before Code4Lib, check out
the Wiki page: http://wiki.code4lib.org/PBCore_RDF_Hackathon. This is also
where we will provide links to all
Salvete!
I just wanted to add the point that there can very easily be a union
betwixt LITA and Code4Lib (and prolly is a substantial one, though I am
definitely guessing at the data). There is naught to make them mutually
exclusive.
Cheers,
Brooke

To pull out some math in case you don't want to sort through the docs, and
also make a correction:
Yes, LITA's membership decline is faster than average for ALA.
No, LITA is not the smallest division; ASCLA and United are quite a bit
smaller.

Casey, I have some suggestions:
1) Everyone should read at least the first chapters of the Allemang
book, Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist:
http://www.worldcat.org/title/semantic-web-for-the-working-ontologist-effective-modeling-in-rdfs-and-owl/oclc/73393667
2) Everyone should
Very good suggestions Karen. I'd also recommend attendees study the EBU
core ontology http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/ebucore/. While I will
be unable to attend, I'm extremely interested in where you find this
existing solution to be deficient.

Speaking of non-librarians in technology positions:
Have you had enough of the dreadful cold and snow?
Are you good with people AND with the systems that serve them in libraries?
Then consider this position in the martin County Library System:
Electronic Resources
Thanks for your suggestions, Karen! I have added them to the wiki.
Justin, luckily we have a representative from EBU who is planning to
attend. We are definitely reviewing the EBUCore ontology and are seeing
this hackathon as an opportunity to harmonize EBUCore and PBCore as much
as possible.
Also check out the *Working Ontologist* website for example files, etc.:

Great! I'm glad to hear everyone is working together on the same problem
rather than rejecting the existing solutions outright.

Used to have to pay your base membership and a division (or two?) Recently,
you can go cheap and pay ONLY the base membership cost!No forced division
membership.
