Static Web Methodology as a Sustainable Approach to Digital Humanities Projects
The Code4Lib Journal · Static Web Methodology as a Sustainable Approach to Digital Humanities ProjectsThe web platforms adopted for digital humanities (DH) projects come with significant short- and long-term costs—selecting a platform will impact how resources are invested in a project and organization. As DH practitioners, the time (or money paid to contractors) we must invest in managing servers, maintaining platform updates, and learning idiosyncratic administrative systems ultimately limits [...]

I am here at #Code4Lib! I have hugged friends! I have eaten food! I have applied my backup text method because there’s no presenter view.

I've been fooling around with a #Python script for converting #MARC bibliographic records to #Markdown for use with a static website generator. Probably only has an audience of one (me), but it's not complicated and it solves an interesting problem for private #librarians: how can we get our collections out there when LibraryThing isn't enough but a full OPAC is too much?

I just had a paper published: "The Interconnectedness of All Things: Understanding Digital Collections Through File Similarity" in Preservation, Digital Technology & Culture.

Come hurl your abuse and academic reprisals at me!
De Gruyter · The Interconnectedness of All Things: Understanding Digital Collections Through File SimilarityArchives that house digital collections often struggle with rapidly evolving workflows and the intrinsic difficulties in managing disordered records. Both physical and digital records may have complex relationships with other records such as drafts of the same document or one document that is included in another, but digital records offer the possibility that a computer may analyze the collection and automatically discover such relationships. An analytical tool for digital collections would employ a model that can represent the network of relationships between files instead of the hierarchical model used in traditional archival arrangement and description. A proof-of-concept of such a tool, employing techniques such as fuzzy and perceptual hashes, demonstrates the viability of this approach and suggests avenues for future research and development.
Library systems friends - other than supplier / user group conferences, what are you favourite conferences and events that are significantly or mostly focused on library technology and systems? Looking for more things like #code4lib.

The only named defendant in this complaint is an experienced library technologist and #code4lib community member, who has since filed a motion to dismiss (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68157923/21/oclc-online-computer-library-center-inc-v-annas-archive/) on April 15th, 2024, in which she attested she has no connection to the WorldCat scraping (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68157923/21/1/oclc-online-computer-library-center-inc-v-annas-archive/) done by Anna’s Archive.
Dear #library technology community, we need to talk about @OCLC. #libraries #code4lib #c4l24
I'm at Code4Lib 2024 in Ann Arbor on an incredibly beautiful day! I'm so excited for a week of nerding out with fellow library technologists.
