Code4Lib Day 3: Lightning Talks

Mark Matienzo – Wielding the Whip: Affect, Archives, & Ontological Fusion

  • need to talk about emotion – a lot of things going on in my life
  • inspired by Archives by Emotion
  • why do we not acknowledge that archives are based on emotion, stories
  • facebook ‘like’ is not an emotion
  • losing connections to materials and history when not thinking about the platform and how that effects our stories
  • can we write stories about our collections?
  • should be using existing linked data to make those narratives
  • let’s build this
  • Slides
  • Full Write-up

Jason Casden and Cory Lown – My #HuntLibrary

  • student engagement platform
  • how do students use the space?
  • what do they choose to document? – using instagram

Will Hicks – Metadata Entry Beyond Usability

  • think back to volunteering to donate blood, etc. what value did it give you?
  • ~300 individuals creating metadata
  • stats have bumped up with a new interface
  • but 10% of the stuff is hidden
  • “usable” forms are great, but little “ownership” and lack of domain expertise
  • what if we applied the ideas used in social media?
  • invite with openID, personalize projects, badges, stats, visualization, etc.

Kelly Lucas – Drupal OPAC Recipe

  • the poor man’s Blacklight or Vufind with Solr backend
  • process:
    • MARC record dump into Solr using SolrMARC
    • install search API, Search API Solr, Facet API, Sarnia and Views from Drupal.org
    • configure Sarnia + FacetAPI (boosts, enable facets)
    • create a view, add some fields, create an exposed filter (full text search box)
    • slap some facets to the side of the page
  • issues: new/updated records requires direct connection to ILS
  • Slides

Mark Redar – Django Dublin Core App
