I'm an Information Sytems Librarian - I do techie stuff around the library space, from the Library angle...
Twitter
@edsu I'd have thought that Firefox would handle that w/o bothering the user - not so sure about IE :) #firefox #opensearch #coulddobetter
@rdmpage /reference/xml? Not sure what to do with the author names - people are often smarter than scripts - disambiguation with weighting?
@edsu Are you able to implement something like the Amazon search suggestions, and return HTML & XML? http://d2lo25i6d3q8zm.cloudfront.net/browser... works nicely
@edsu should it rel="results" or rel="suggestions" in the OpenSearch XML? does it matter? Firefox + IE want to download suggestions! argh...
@edsu I keep getting prompted to download the JSON as a file - is the HTTP header being sent correctly? http://id.loc.gov/authori...
@edsu thanks - this looks useful. I'll show to our resident cataloguer!
@lorcanD *looks nice* ... but wouldn't it be inclined to tip forward?
@grumpf Ever used a doi lookup on PubMed? try this: 10.1002/jmv.21494 [aid] @ pubmed.org...
@lisagoddard Umm yeah... scared yet?
@grumpf I was thinking of doing them as part of OpenURL resolving (so not all of them - just as requested). #nicetohave #openurl
@grumpf Yes, I was - they refer to it themselves (that was a quote from bottom of this page: http://www.tib-hannover.de/en... ). Missing details of how...
@grumpf ...so not sure if intended for internal use only. I'll ask, and see if I can find out!
@rdmpage @CrossRefNews @epentz "The TIB saves the metadata and enables all registered contents to be searched via a database." how/when/who?
@grumpf That's one think I'd like to fix - create a table of pre-2008 PubMed items with their DOIs. PubMed data more detailed than CrossRef
@VALA2010 at what time will be see what's happening at BootCamp?
Just discovered POW (plain old webserver) for #Firefox - a shiny new toy... can imagine lots of nice possibilities... :)
@chrisfreeland ...am concerned that the wiki page was hacked by a reserved IP address :(
@daveyp what are you working with? SFX? curious by what you mean by "hacking" white hat/black hat?? :-}
@daveyp re: http://www.daveyp.com/blog... -is the JISC api still meant to be working? And do you have contacts for Voyager borrowing data I could use?
@daveyp ... some ppl are interested in BibTip.org - reminded me of work you'd done.
@aekins Were you looking at creating a recommender service for Voyager ~> @daveyp "I know what you borrowed last summer"? #voyager #exlibris
How do #librarians feel about the Ringgold identifier? Seems to benefit marketers more than librarians(?)
@aekins I (think I) understand the basic problems, a ERM/URM type system needed. No mention of Voyager OAI-PMH?: http://www.exlibrisgroup.org/display...
@grumpf that's a bit mean... surely you can share it with us (and the rest of the world?)
@grumpf Have you had another look at EbscoHost as a target for sfx?
@rdmpage ...also for those that were on CD and microformats see: http://www.worldcat.org/xissn... . Not as good for your use-case with titles I suppose...
@rdmpage though if LibX can have limitless access to xISSN, I'd hope other tools would also be able to... (not sure how realistic this is!)
wondering when @grumpf is going to be back online..?
@rdmpage ISSN-L is not intended for historic title/ISSN changes, that's where xISSN is good. The "visualisation tool" has a hackable png[!]
@rdmpage ISSN-L might still help in that regard, using ISSNs to deduce that diff. titles => same journal - could also use to find titles?
