Hi Kelley - I conducted that usability test on Scherzo and wrote that
report so I can answer your questions! I think a work-focused approach can
work for users, but we had to scale back on what we assumed users would
understand on the search results page. After this test of the system, we

Thanks, Jon. I have seen the Variations work and also talked to Jenn Riley
about it. It has definitely influenced me, although we are going in a slightly
different direction and moving images have some different needs from music.
One thing about Variations that struck me is this paragraph from t

I would have to agree with this where the data exists. The data captured by
digital cameras these days can be incredibly extensive and thorough. Given
this, I recently started exposing this data for all of the 8,000 photos I
now have on my photos web site http://FreeLargePhotos.com/ . There is now

One of the things that absolutely blows my mind is the widespread practice
of hand typing this stuff into records. Aside from an obvious opportunity
to introduce errors/inc
Is it out of the question to extract technical metadata from the
audiovisual materials themselves (via MediaInfo et al)? It would minimize
the amount of MARC that needs to be processed and give more
accurate/complete data than relying on old cataloging records.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for posting on jobs.code4lib.org. It looks good to me.
The jobs are indeed essentially the same except for the content that they’re
looking at. I am looking for two people because I have a deadline for spending
this money and thought things would be more likely to get done in time w
Hi Kelley,
I might be able to help in your search. I'm in the process of starting a
website that connects academic researchers with volunteer software
developers. I'm looking for people to post programming projects on the
website once it's launched in late January. I realize that may be a

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for posting this. When I began work on jobs.code4lib.org I was hoping it
would encourage people to post short term contracts. The thought being that it
may be easier for some institutions to find money for projects than full-time
staff, and it could encourage more open source
