The worst book cover? The Librarian’s Secret Wish | Pages & Proofs Alison Flood in The Guardian wrote about the worst book covers yesterday. I would like to throw this cover into the debate – The Librarian’s Secret Wish by Carol Grace. It’s a romance from Silhouette Books that goes down the well trodden path of love in the library. The plot summary goes something like this…. Claire Cooper has to admit there is not such thing as a perfect man – until Nate Callahan arrives on the scene! Well, they don’t seem to be looking very hard for the runaway boy who is sitting under the table. I love how Nate has casually slung his jacket over his shoulder. Text Encoding Initiative Colloque_Florence_Legislative_XML C. Biagioli, E. Francesconi, G. Sartor (eds.), Proceedings of the V Legislative XML Workshop, European Press Academic Publishing (EPAP), 2007 Widespread and shared access to legal information can significantly contribute to European integration. In the last few years many national projects have been launched on standards for legislative texts, with the purpose of overcoming the fragmentation of legal information within national systems, as well as to contribute to legal certainty and improve the quality of legislation. Our workshop continues the series of the legislative XML workshops, and likewise aims at involving experts from all the European countries and European institutions which are developing, or aim to develop projects for standards in legislation. However, this workshop also has one further specific objective, namely considering the European dimension, and proposing ideas for a roadmap towards common and interoperable standards.

Hacking 360 Link: A hybrid approach John Durno When the University of Victoria Libraries switched from a locally-hosted link resolver (SFX) to a vendor-hosted link resolver (360Link), new strategies were required to effectively integrate the vendor-hosted link resolver with the Libraries’ other systems and services.

lecture_rcc_26jul03.pdf (objet application/pdf) Digital Library of Information Science and Technology (DLIST) is a cross-institutional, subject-based, open access digital archive for the Information Sciences, including Archives and Records Management, Library and Information Science, Information Systems, Digital Curation, Museum Informatics, records management and other critical information infrastructures. The archive can be used for new materials as well as for classics such as the The Five Laws of Library Science 1931, Ranganathan, S. R. We also are particularly interested in multi-cultural and cultural competency aspects of the DLIST subject domain. Academics, researchers, and practitioners create a wealth of content that includes published papers, instructional materials, tutorials for software and databases, bibliographies, pathfinders, bibliometric datasets, dissertations and reports. DLIST aims to capture this wealth of information in a library that is openly available for re-use and global dissemination.

FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) is derived from the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), one the library domain’s most widely-used subject terminology schemas. The development of FAST has been a collaboration of OCLC Research and the Library of Congress. Work on FAST began in late 1998 FAST has been developed in large part to attempt to meet the perceived need for a general-use subject terminology scheme which is: simple to learn and apply, faceted-navigation-friendly, and modern in its design. The broad purpose of adapting the LCSH with a simplified syntax to create FAST is to retain the very rich vocabulary of LCSH while making the schema easier to understand, control, apply, and use. After full development, FAST has evolved into an eight-facet vocabulary with a universe of approximately 1.7 million headings across all facets. Background Impact Details The FAST authority file contains over 1,700,000 authority records. searchFAST assignFAST FAST as Linked Data Outputs
Guide pour les revues numériques Numérisation OCRisation Conversion Stockage Création des méta-données et indexation Mise en ligne Paiement électronique / Gestion des abonnements Numérisation L'étape de numérisation consiste à transformer le document papier en un document électronique. qui semble aujourd'hui une référence stable dans ce domaine : • Adopter une résolution minimale de 600dpi pour la numérisation. • Sauvegarder les images en TIFF. • Convertir en GIF, PNG ou JPEG pour la visualisation sur le Web On peut également citer l'étude sur la numérisation de la sous-direction des bibliothèques universitaires Ces choix techniques doivent permettre de garantir une numérisation d'un niveau qualitatif suffisant pour assurer une pérennité des documents numériques ainsi créés. Le second point qui conditionne le niveau de coût de cette étape est le matériel de base dont dispose la revue. Globalement, le coût de la numérisation réside principalement dans le volume horaire qu'elle nécessite.
