It's Like Google Suggest, Only As A Dictionary

“There's been a lot of discussion about Google Suggest, which provides potential words and phrases depending on what you type into the query box. There's a similar tool available using a couple of dictionaries instead of the Web. It's called ObjectGraph Dictionary and it's available at http://www.objectgraph.com/dictionary .

There are two dictionaries being used here; a regular dictionary and FOLDOC (Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing.) The default is regular. I started typing in esuriant and ObjectGraph began cycling through suggestions. the cool thing is that in addition to word listings, the suggestion box also contains definitions. So when you've gotten as far as esuri you'll have four relevant words and their dictionary definitions right there.” [ResearchBuzz]

This kind of feature would be nice in a library catalog, especially for phrase title searches.

2. LibData: Library Web Management System
   "The University of Minnesota Libraries (Twin Cities) announces the open source software release of LibData: Library Web Management System. LibData is a library-oriented web-based application consisting of an integrated database architecture and authoring environment for the publication of subject pathfinders, course-related pages, and all purpose web pages. This application was designed for, but is not limited to, academic and public libraries. LibData was built with open source components (Apache, mySQL, and PHP) and is being offered as open source to the library community under the GNU Public License. The software and its extensive documentation can be downloaded from Plato, a test foundry for the Libraries' Digital Library Development Laboratory (http://plato.lib.umn.edu/) and soon on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net /projects/libdata/). For more information, please contact John Butler (jbutl@umn.edu), Director, University Libraries Digital Library Development Lab, or Paul Bramscher (brams006@umn.edu), LibData Lead Developer."
    
3. Karen Coyle on DRM and on Amazon "search inside book" feature
   "The talk that I gave at Library of Congress on DRM is available as streaming video from their site. I have also produced a written version of that talk, both in a portable and a read-online version. All are
   linked from my home page: http://www.kcoyle.net. Think of this as a beginner's approach to Digital Rights Management, notan exhaustive (or exhausting!) treatment."

   "The OpeneBook Forum has a library 'special interest group' which is not much more than some librarians, some publishers, and some ebook producers getting together once a week for a conference call. Sometimes the calls are so-so and other times they are extremely interesting. (For more info, see http://www.ope nebook.org/oebf_groups/library.htm)....

   One of the more fascinating tidbits (which didn't make it into the minutes) was a publisher's rep who stated that they had excluded cookbooks from the scanned titles on the assumption that once someone found a recipe they'd not need to buy the book. By error, some of their cookbooks were included in the scanned group and before they could pull them from the search service the sales of those books had exceeded the sales of other scanned books. But they pulled them anyway, probably because they didn't have the proper agreement with the authors." To which Jenny says, "Oy! Publishers shooting selves in foot...."

Redefining "Quick Search" - IE Plug-in
for Searching Library Catalogs!

Redefining "Quick Search" - IE Plug-in
for Searching Library Catalogs! 12/03/2003 01:51 AM

It's all in the WebPaths, baby...

"From blogdex to Veen to del.icio.us to this wonderful search plug-in for IE – mahvelous!" [jenett.radio]

Give me a moment to think of a word to write other than "WOW!"

Click on the last link in Joe's post if you are a Windows + Internet Explorer user and you like searching library catalogs. While there are several pre-configured search engines available at the site, the Searchy plug-in turns out to be another pipeline into online catalogs that sits completely outside the library world. Like LibraryLookup, anyone can configure the plug-in to work with any OPAC that allows the appropriate type of search strings, and the site even provides a Plug-in Generator.

For example, I played around with SWAN's keyword search and created a registry plug-in that allows me to type searches directly into the address bar in IE. After installing it, I can now type "sk celtic music" and the results of the search in SWAN load in the browser window. In fact, I just tested "sk pirates of the caribbean" and after a few clicks I'm now the 47th hold for the DVD!

I can also configure similar searches for title, author, subject, etc. ("st" for title, "sa" for author, "ss" for subject). I think the keyword plug-in should be visible to you on the Searchy page if you scroll down to "SWAN" - give it a whirl! The installation instructions really are as simple as they sound. (Do note that this installs into the Windows registry, though, so play at your own risk.)

SWAN runs Innovative Interfaces software, so I know III catalogs will work with this. We'll have to test others. I'm no Windows expert (not even close), but theoretically a library should be able to make plug-ins pre-configured for its catalog available from its own web site, right?

Very cool!

Everyday is Monday

Everyday is Monday 02/01/2005 10:11 PM

I had a week of Mondays last week and Friday had an added bonus of being both Friday and Monday at the same time due to the holiday on Thursday. From Monday onward, I seemed to fumble everything from the complex to the simple. I patched the system a bunch of the CPAN sites run on, as well as this blog, only to have it come up perfectly but be unable to log in to the system because sshd decided it didn't want to run so I have to wait until Ben can get to the console and start it for me, hopefully soon. I spent the weekend away from computers to try and change my system karma. :)

I've scanned all the pictures from Tunisia and have been sifting through them and whenever sshd comes back online, I'll put them up on the system.

David Pescovitz: An idiotic principal at a middle school in Kansas is cracking down on goths, sending them home if they dress in a way that may "disrupt the school environment or impede learning in the classroom." Principal Cherle Crain's quotes in this MTV.com article are amazingly asinine. Here's my favorite:

"Last week, a parent told me her two kids were talking about this at dinner," Crain said. "And one of them said 'I'm so glad Ms. Crain did this, because a Goth sat behind me last year and every single day he'd hiss at me like a snake.' And that impeded his learning."

Chicago's Sears Tower to Go Wireless

Chicago's Sears Tower to Go Wireless 01/22/2004 02:13 AM
InnerWireless plans to support wireless access throughout the Sears Tower, even in the elevators: The company will build a network that will offer Wi-Fi networks or cellular networks throughout tenant offices if they want it. But it must first make deals with the cellular operators to extend their coverage in the building. InnerWireless sounds a lot like RadioFrame, a Craig McCaw company that's been around for ages. RadioFrame sells a box that can be deployed in offices that users can essentially slide radios for any kind of network into. The platform can offer Wi-Fi and cellular coverage from a single device. A few years back the Sears Tower was having trouble keeping full of tenants. This may be one effort to draw tenants in. It seems that more office buildings are making themselves Wi-Fi-ready, which may be a major selling point for companies that don't have the IT staff to build their own wireless networks. Also, in this case, cellular coverage in the elevators is probably a bonus because the building is so huge it probably takes forever to get in and out of....
