Mita Williams <http://leddy.uwindsor.ca/staff/mita-williams>, User
Experience Librarian at the University of Windsor, will start off the day
with her keynote presentation: *Teach for America. Code for America.
Librarianing for America.* The motto for Code for America is "a new kind of
public service". The motto of CrisisCommons is "we help connect people to
help those in need". This talk is not going to dwell on the matter that
librarians lack a good word - much less an official motto ? to describe the
work we do. Instead, a case will be made for a new program to be designed
to get more librarians working within more organizations in more
communities.
This year?s attendees will also be eligible to win exciting *door prizes*
including: label makers, laptop gear, media players, and a Nook GlowLight
E-Reader!

Subject: Open Preservation Foundation to provide sustainable home for JHOVE
Message-ID: <TUE.3.FEB.2015.112325.0000.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
** Open Preservation Foundation to provide sustainable home for JHOVE
------------------------------------------------------------
The Open Preservation Foundation (OPF) has started the process of taking
over stewardship of JHOVE (http://jhove.sourceforge.net/) , the widely-used
open source digital preservation tool.
JHOVE (JSTOR/Harvard Object Validation Environment) provides functions to
perform format-specific identification, validation, and characterisation of
digital objects. It was originally developed by Harvard Library and JSTOR
in 2003.
OPF will be working with Portico, a member organisation, to carry out the
transfer. The JHOVE project, comprising source code and documentation, will
move to the OPF's software portfolio (
http://openpreservation.org/technology/products/) which will provide a
sustainable home. OPF will put continuous integration in place with testing
and reporting in line with the OPF Software Maturity Model (
http://openpreservation.org/technology/principles/software-maturity/). This
will facilitate development and release of patches and new modules. Portico
will be contributing code improvements that they currently use internally
as part of this process.
"The findings from our member survey show that JHOVE is the most important
digital preservation tool to our members," explains Ed Fay, Executive
Director of OPF. "Our adoption of JHOVE is a practical example of our
strategic priority to build confidence in currently available tools and
approaches."
OPF will be consulting with its members and the community in the coming
months to gather requirements and roadmap future development to ensure that
JHOVE is robust and actively maintained.
"We are happy to see JHOVE transition to a community-supported model
through the OPF," says Andrea Goethals, Manager of Digital Preservation and
Repository Services at Harvard Library. "We think that this is an important
step towards sustaining the core digital preservation tools many of our
organisations have come to rely on."
"Portico is very happy to see JHOVE formally established, with JHOVE2,
within a sustainable framework for community source," says Sheila
Morrissey, Senior Researcher at Portico. "We look forward to sharing the
enhancements and extensions we have developed with JHOVE's very extensive
community of practice and use."
"We're very pleased to see this transfer of stewardship responsibility for
JHOVE to the OPF," says Stephen Abrams, Associate Director of the
University of California Curation Center at the California Digital Library.
"It will ensure the continuity of maintenance, enhancement, and
availability between the original JHOVE system and its successor JHOVE2,
both key infrastructural components in wide use throughout the digital
library community."
"I'm very glad to see that JHOVE, which I supported for years, will
continue to be in good hands." comments Gary McGath, original developer and
active maintainer of JHOVE.
JHOVE2 (https://github.com/opf-labs/jhove2) , an open source digital
preservation tool that carries out format-aware characterisation of digital
objects, has already been moved to opf-labs in the OPF's GitHub portfolio (
https://github.com/openpreserve) . As with JHOVE, OPF will be stewarding
the software in line with its maturity model and coordinating roadmapping
and future development activities.

Message-ID: <TUE.3.FEB.2015.110144.0800.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Cites & Insights 15:3 (March 2015) is now available for downloading at
http://citesandinsights.info/civ15i3.pdf
The issue is 24 pages long.
If you plan to view it online or need working hyperlinks (at the
expense of boldface working--someday, I'll have a new computer and new
version of Word's PDF conversion and Acrobat), the single-column 6x9"
version, 46 pages long, is available at
http://citesandinsights.info/civ13i3on.pdf
This issue includes the following:
Intersections: One More Chunk of DOAJ pp. 1-10
Because there will be a published concise version of all this
stuff--out this summer from ALA's Library Technology Reports, working
title "Idealism and Opportunism: The State of Open Access Journals"--I
went through 2,200-odd additional DOAJ journals with English as one of
the language options (but not the first one), and was able to add
1,507 more entries to my DOAJ master spreadsheet, which now includes
6,490 journals qualifying for full analysis and 811 that don't. This
essay offers some summary information on the 1,507 added journals and
some overall notes on the full DOAJ set--including some new and
replacement tables (there may be errors in tables 2.66 b and c and
2.67 b and c in earlier issues).
The essay also offers some details on "N" (not OA) journals, notes on
very small journals, a few comments on opportunism, idealism and
initiative--and the URLs for two spreadsheets offering anonymized
versions of the DOAJ and Beall data. (Note that the DOAJ spreadsheet
has just been changed to shift 580 "B" journals there because of
$1,000-or-more APCs to a new "A$" subgrade, since the high APC was the
only issue with them. The summary text in this issue has NOT been
changed to reflect this refinement; the Library Technology Reports
issue will reflect the change.)
The two spreadsheeets are on figshare and licensed with the Creative
Commons "BY" license, making them available for any use as long as
attribution is provided. Each spreadsheet includes a data key as a
second page.
Words: Books, E and P, 2014 pp. 10-24
Bringing discussions of ebooks vs. (or and) pbooks up to date from the
January 2014 essay. In most cases, "and" is now the prevailing
attitude as ebook sales appear to have plateaued--although of course
there are still those who say print books will die Because Digital and
now, oddly, a few who say ebooks will die or are dead (which I regard
as equally unlikely).

*Abstract:* The need for structured metadata to support ubiquitous access
across the Web to the treasure troves of resources spanning cultures, in
science, and in the digital humanities is now common knowledge among
information systems designers and implementers. Structured metadata
expressed through languages of description make it possible for us to
'speak' about the contents of our treasure troves. But, like all human
languages, our languages of description both enable and isolate. The push
to break out of the isolation of the metadata silos in which professionals
inevitably design, implement and manage metadata in order to discover the
intersections of our treasure troves drives much of today's discourse and
emerging practice in metadata. The emergence of massively integrated Web
presences such as Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America
(DPLA) along with the reshaping of public access globally through
mechanisms such as Linked Data and schema.org drive our conversations, our
excitement, and our fears.

Each of the past 20 years, the metadata community has gathered for DCMI's
conference and annual meeting. The work agenda of the DCMI community is
broad and inclusive of all aspects of innovation in metadata design,
implementation and best practices. While the work of the Initiative
progresses throughout the year, the annual meeting and conference provide
the opportunity for DCMI "citizens" as well as newcomers, students,
apprentices, and early career professionals to gather face-to-face to share
experiences and knowledge. In addition, the gathering provides public- and
private-sector initiatives beyond DCMI that are doing significant metadata
work to come together to compare notes and cast a broader light into their
particular metadata work silos. Through such a gathering of the metadata
communities, DCMI advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata
interoperability and harmonization. This year, the annual meeting and
conference are being hosted by the Universidade Estadual Paulista--S?o
Paulo State University (UNESP) and held in S?o Paulo, Brazil.

*Past participant comments:*
*I have gained a better knowledge of what a Maker Space is and how I can
adapt it to my small library. With our size, budget, and staffing, Lego
type maker space activities are going to be the way to go for us. Much of
the information on where to find technology items and how to start small
were helpful. I found the funding tips very helpful. *
*One of the projects that really caught my eye was from the video of the
Maker Fair in New York. Two young girls had set up a tent/area where people
could make their own super hero costumes. I thought this type of maker
activity would fit in great with the theme for summer reading club this
year. I would like to host a comic con at our library this year as a
special activity related to the summer reading club theme. I would envision
having this type of make your own super hero outfit at this event. I would
have to modify the part where they used a 3D printer to print medallions
related to their super powers. Our library is not (yet) equipped with a 3D
printer. I would try to have various fabric donated to cut costs. . .*

Lectures, exercises, and projects will allow participants to gain experience using some of the more powerful components of XSLT 1.0 and 2.0, including:
Navigating the XML tree with XPath 2.0
Working with recursion, modes, and named templates
Using and creating functions
Combining source documents and creating multiple result documents
Sorting and grouping data
Using branching and control structures
This workshop is designed for information professionals who have a good understanding of XML and work with it frequently. While some understanding of and experience with XSLT is a plus, this is not a requirement.

Call for Presentations
Amigos Library Services is seeking presentations for its April 23 online conference, "Linked Data & RDF: New Frontiers in Metadata and Access" that will explore RDF, linked data and their applications in libraries.
RDF and the Semantic Web promise to change and enhance the way users are guided to information. Libraries are eager to enable access to their resources not only from within their catalogs but also from web searches.

* RDF and linked data basics: explanations of what these are, how they work, and their potential for libraries and other cultural heritage institutions.
* Innovative applications of RDF and linked data in libraries and archives
* Searching RDF: SPARQL, the query language for RDF documents
* Emerging standards for linked data and RDF in libraries
* Systems for searching, displaying and inputting RDF
* BibFrame, the LC replacement for MARC 21
* Ontologies, OWL, RDFS
If you can speak on one of the topics or have another idea in mind, please submit your proposal to http://www.amigos.org/node/3056 by March 5, 2015. Don't worry if you've never presented online. It's easy and we are happy to train you and will provide technical support during your presentation.

*Graphic Design for Librarians*
*http://www.artmuseums.com/graphicdesign.htm
<http://www.artmuseums.com/graphicdesign.htm>*
*Online Workshop for Librarians and Staff (No Prior Art Background
Required)*
*Fun, Relaxed, Informative!*
*Mary wants parents to know about her **Mom and Me** reading program in her
neighborhood library. She also likes to have visuals on hand when she
presents at the department meetings.*
*Todd has been asked to create a library guide for patrons to use when
librarians are not available. He also is responsible for making the
informational signage for general patrons.*
*Youth Service Librarian, Sandy has a large group of teens who rely on
blogs to gather their information about new books, craft programs, and
clubs. Her job is also to create wall displays and other art for the teen
corner.*
*You have decided on a general theme for your Summer Reading Program but
you want to carry the idea over to announcements, flyers, posters, bookmark
incentives, and the bulletin board.*
Librarians are often asked to communicate or *speak* a visual
language. The *Graphic
Design for Librarians *class gives you the rules and tools for making that
challenge not only possible but fun.
The four week class gives you an opportunity to network and share ideas
with others who are actively engaged in what you are doing. No prior art
experience is needed or required to learn simple guidelines for making
those graphic design tasks easier and more effective-no matter the project.
Ignite your creative spark while learning basic skills needed to produce
practical projects with the hardware and software you have already.
*What are librarians who have taken the workshops saying about the class?*
*I found the section on fonts particularly informative. . .The information
on fonts was most helpful. *
*It really does help to see how others lay things out and what the
possibilities are not just for posters, but for calendars, business cards,
letters, and brochures. All of these are things that I have been called on
to create at some point or another. *
*The links to the templates and the link to the free graphic design
software was particularly helpful.*
*Overall, the visual examples and the links to resources have been the most
helpful to me. The exercise of creating a flyer from scratch was
eye-opening and enjoyable. . .*
*The video clips were clear and informative.*
*I have enjoyed the class and have learned quite a bit.*
*I have already started using what I learned in creating at least a 1/2 doz
new flyers for our programs during the last few weeks! What is so
satisfying is that people are noticing that the flyers are a lot more
interesting to look at and I have gotten several compliments on them
(yeah!) *Learn art fundamentals that will help you create effective design
projects. Through illustrated lectures, hands-on assignments, and
discussion groups you will explore basic principle and design elements,
attention grabbers, and tips for creating the layout, font, and content
techniques you want to project.
Week 1-The first week you will network with others and share your most
successful projects. You will also learn how to ?read? art designs by
exploring the elements of composition and principles of design. Selecting
materials, supplies, and software that you may want or need will be
presented. The variety of projects that a librarian may want to create
using graphic design techniques will be addressed.
Week 2-The second week will combine the techniques that you learned in the
first class and then merge them with more tools for creating effective
designs. Specific projects such as posters, flyers, signage, displays, and
other basic graphic design tasks will be created and critiqued. The
importance of *Font* will be included in this second class.
Week 3-We will look at the rules of *Layout *and *White Space* in Week 3.
Brochures, newsletters, guidebooks, and other more challenging projects
will be analyzed and reviewed.
Week 4-Content and themes come together in Week 4 as we explore electronic
design. We will look at the good and the ugly as we learn how to create
aesthetically pleasing websites, blogs, and other internet project designs.

VocBench 2.0: A Web Application for Collaborative Development of
Multilingual Thesauri
*DCMI/ASIST Joint Webinar*
====================================================================
*:: Time:* 10:00am EST (World Clock: 15:00 UTC
http://bit.ly/DCMI-Webinar-Stellato)
*:: Presenters:* Caterina Caracciolo & Armando Stellato
*:: Date:* Wednesday, 4 March 2015
*:: Registration:*
http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/DCMI_Handbook/webinars#2015caracciolo
====================================================================
*ABOUT THE WEBINAR:*
VocBench is a web-based platform for the collaborative maintenance of
multilingual thesauri. VocBench is an open source project, developed in the
context of a collaboration between the Food and Agricultural Organization
of the UN (FAO) and the University of Rome Tor Vergata. VocBench is
currently used for the maintenance of AGROVOC, EUROVOC, GEMET, the
thesaurus of the Italian Senate, the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus of Harvard
University, as well as other thesauri.
VocBench has a strong focus on collaboration, supported by workflow
management for content validation and publication. Dedicated user roles
provide a clean separation of competencies, addressing different
specificities ranging from management aspects to vertical competencies in
content editing, such as conceptualization versus terminology editing.
Extensive support for scheme management allows editors to fully exploit the
possibilities of the SKOS model, as well as to fulfill its integrity
constraints. VocBench has been open source software since version 2 -- open
to a large community of users and institutions supporting its development
with their feedback and ideas.
During the webinar, Dr. Caracciolo and Dr. Stellato will demonstrate the
main features of VocBench from the point of view of users and system
administrators, and explain in what way you may join the project.

Subject: Information Architecture: Designing Navigation for Library
Websites (online class)
Message-ID: <WED.18.FEB.2015.091840.0800.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Information Architecture: Designing Navigation for Library Websites
Instructor: Susan Teague-Rector
Dates: March 2-27, 2015
Credits: 1.5 CEUs
Price: $175
http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/046-designing-navigation.php
Website navigation is a key design device to help users search and
browse library websites and information systems. The design of Website
navigation can be simple or complex, flat or deep. In all cases, website
navigation should take into account information architecture (IA) best
practices, common user tasks in the library domain, user research,
analytics and information seeking models.
In this four week course, you will gain insight into the art & science
of IA, the discipline of labeling and organizing online information for
optimal usability and findability. This course will introduce you to
basic types of navigation, as well as classification schemes for
organizing information. You will learn about best practices for labeling
navigation, search engine optimiziation (SEO) and usability. Finally,
you will gain hands-on experience developing a navigation scheme for a
library website.
This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our
Certificate in User Experience (UX), but can be taken as a stand-alone
course as well.
Susan Teague Rector holds a Master?s degree in Information Science from
the University of NC-Chapel Hill. She has over 15 years of experience in
Web technologies, with 6 years in academic libraries. In her current
role at University of Colorado, Susan specializes in information
architecture (IA) and UX design for University Web Services. Previously
Susan led the IA, design and implementation of a new website for NCSU
Libraries in 2010; and led IA, design and usability testing as Web
Applications Manager at VCU Libraries. She has presented nationally on
Web topics, as well as published in the Journal of Web Librarianship and
CRLN.

participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The
class does not meet together at any particular times, although the
instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction
includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class
participation is in an online forum environment.

Message-ID: <WED.18.FEB.2015.094814.0800.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
Every now and then we find it necessary to remind Web4Lib subscribers about
one or more of our posting policies, all of which are available for perusal
here: http://web4lib.org/
At the moment, I would like to draw your attention to this one:
"Advertisements are not appropriate. This includes, but is not limited to,
announcements of new products and free trials by those who stand to gain
from such announcements. However, a simple statement that offers a way to
follow-up for more information on a service or product is tolerated if it
accompanies a substantive message discussing a subject appropriate to the
list. Announcements of conferences, workshops, new publications, and
position openings appropriate to the topic of the list are allowed."
Thank you for your cooperation. I now return you to your regularly
scheduled programming.

We use Camtasia by TechSmith. It is simple, intuitive, and has everything we need. At $180 for educational institutions the price is hard to beat and a version is available for macs. It is best for screen capture videos such as database tutorials and such. However you can import videos shot with a camera although we've had some mixed experiences with that.
Cheers,
Mike

We use the Pro version of Screencast-o-matic (15.00 per year). It is cloud based, has scripting (allows you to record the audio first and add the video later ? good for editing portions of a tutorial), simple editing tools and a direct upload to YouTube. Feel free to email back if you have any questions. Here's the link: https://www.screencast-o-matic.com/gopro.

Subject: Re: [WEB4LIB] Video editing software
We use Camtasia by TechSmith. It is simple, intuitive, and has everything we need. At $180 for educational institutions the price is hard to beat and a version is available for macs. It is best for screen capture videos such as database tutorials and such. However you can import videos shot with a camera although we?ve had some mixed experiences with that.
Cheers,
Mike

I second the use of CamStudio. Our budget was such that we could not
purchase commercial software even on an educational discount, but
fortunately we did not have to. CamStudio filled in nicely. It has the
most robust set of features for any free video software that we've found.

*Professional Program Objectives*
Each of the past 20 years, practitioners and researchers in metadata have
gathered for DCMI's annual meeting and international conference. This year,
we will be gathering in S?o Paulo, Brazil. The scope of interests for the
Professional Program is broad and inclusive of all aspects of innovative
metadata design, implementation, and best practices in all sectors from
cultural heritage institutions to governments and commerce.
While the work of the DCMI progresses throughout the year, the annual
meeting and conference provide the opportunity for researchers, newcomers
to metadata, students, apprentices, and early career professionals to
gather face-to-face to share experiences and knowledge and to learn through
*Tutorials*, *Workshops*, and *Special Sessions* tracks.
In addition, the *Best Practice Posters & Demonstration* tracks offer the
practitioner the opportunity to:
- *showcase metadata work *underway or completed in their particular
contexts,
- *seek input* from the larger community on metadata matters of concern,
- *compare notes* on innovative practice, and
- *cast a broader light* into their particular metadata work silos.
Through such a gathering of the metadata communities of practice, DCMI
advances its "first goal" of promoting metadata interoperability and
harmonization across the metadata ecosystem.
*Submission & Session Languages*
Proposals for Professional Program tracks may be in *Portuguese* or
*English*. Depending on the language of the session presenters,
simultaneous English/Portuguese or Portuguese/English translation will be
provided. *Submissions and presentations by Portuguese speakers are
strongly encouraged*.

Subject: Self hosting Proquest historical newspapers
Message-ID: <WED.25.FEB.2015.201532.0500.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
We have noticed that some of our Proquest historical newspapers have high
annual platform fees in comparison to their usage. We would like to
investigate self-hosting these newspapers, and the license for them allows
this.
However, I can't find any documentation for this on the Proquest site, and
their technical support only had information on the online version.
Has anyone hosted the PQ newspapers on a server in their library? Could
you share some of the technical considerations and details?
Advance thanks!

Message-ID: <WED.25.FEB.2015.232615.0500.WEB4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU>
*** My apologies for cross-posting this message***
For a book that I am writing on technologies in libraries, I am curious to
learn more about the most common technologies and technology skills used by
librarians and library staff members. I ask you to help me in this effort
by taking a brief survey on the technologies and technology skills you use
in your everyday work. I am very interested in hearing from librarians and
library staff members from various types and sizes of libraries.
I would appreciate you taking about five minutes to fill out the survey at
http://goo.gl/forms/U98DHjXhTr
The results of the survey will be shared with this list soon after the
survey closes, with a more involved analysis available once the book is
published. I am eager to learn more about technology use in libraries, and
to share that information with you.
Please complete the survey before *March 12*. Thanks so much for your
participation!
