Announcing a National Emergency Library to Provide Digitized Books to Students and the Public
ron: Next project for switching the #library to Linux. Since our new #opensource ILS (Koha) is web based we can use a customized snap of Firefox to access it. This will allow staff to have a browser just for the ILS. In order to make checkouts efficient we've omitted the browser asking which printer to use when checkout slips are printed. But it makes it tough when we need to print something else out. Having Koha partitioned in an snap should solve stuff like this.

peterlibrarian: “They (students, graduates...) discovered that they could not get access to the #research results that they needed because they were no longer affiliated with the University.

ron: Thinking about installing a separate #IIIF server with the library's omeka-s install to facilitate on-the-fly tiling with #UniversalViewer. I've played around with #Cantaloupe so far. Likes easy to setup, self-contained server. Dislikes: Java based. Anyone have any recommendations for an up-to-date IIIF server written in #python? Or other suggestions. #library

bthall: @guerrillarain And don't forget #libraries!

h: Interesting business model.#Unidoc is a #PDF generation #library for the Go programming language. Arguably one of the best such tools available, by the same experienced team of the Fox PDF tools.Licencing it works like this:1) Play nice, use it freely under the AGPL 3.or, at your option: 2) Be a horrible, selfish person and buy a commercial licence for $1000 (personal use) or $3000 (for business, unlimited servers) https://unidoc.io/pricing/#golang

foureyedsoul: Stoked to simultaneously be getting #Makerspace resources going in our #communityCollege #library and becoming the staff advisor for the nascent, related Makerclub. The fact that the folks involved are already discussing fiber arts & even looms as part of the plan helps me feel like it’s an inclusive, open-minded bunch of students. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
