Some bullet points for the interview: *How and where did they hear about CMS? *What were your motivations to adopt CMS for its use (library website or any other purpose) *What were your decision making criteria? and What is the name of CMS used? *What are the important benefits or advantages of a particular CMS over an old system or another CMS system they've used in the past? *How was the learning curve? ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2012-05-25 </pre> Marty Tanner Hughes 2012-05-25T17:11:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.web4lib/19308 <pre>Forwarded on behalf of Laura Girmscheid.

(It also prompts him or her to check the domain name.) For example, Mozilla Firefox will respond with ***************************************** Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. ***************************************** Why does the browser not know that the network connection is fine, and simply prompt the person to re-examine the domain name? Does DNS not communicate with HTTP? Any help with satisfying my curiosity would be much appreciated.

The handwritten information has been typed up and converted to HTML, but we are hoping to provide links from this to the originals which will be in PDF format. The originals are on microfilm. Each page is about six times as wide as it is high. We have scanned a sample, but find that when zooming in, it quickly becomes impossible to read the handwriting. Vertical lines which are on the microfilm become more of a problem when enlarging the image. Also, because of the document's dimensions, much of the document disappears off screen when zooming in, and a large scrollbar appears at the bottom of the screen. A cleaner image and an ability to pan and zoom with the mouse would be ideal. What is the best way of achieving this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Tabatha Farney (University of Colorado Colorado Springs) and I are putting the finishing touches on our LITA Guide about web analytics, and we'd like to include two appendices: 1. a list of suggested free tools for analytics use in libraries; and 2. a list of commonly used library products (CMSs, catalogs, calendaring tools) to which one can quickly and easily add third-party analytics capabilities.

We're looking to get started with When2Work for our desk scheduling. There are so many options available - we'd like to know how other libraries are using this product. In particular, if you have multiple desks to schedule, how did you set it up initially. Groups? Types of employee? If anyone has a simple "this is how we set it up" document or tutorial, or a template of how you set your system up, we'd very much appreciate a peek. Best practices, hints and tips, cautionary tales! All are useful. I figure this product has been around a while - I hate to spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel, as most libraries have similar scheduling challenges! Any help you can give would be most appreciated. Feel free to reply to me off-list (email below) if you prefer. Thanks!
