| 19:06 | thd | kados: are you around? |
| 03:08 | osmoze | hello |
| 09:55 | thd | kados: ping |
| 11:07 | kados | thd: what's up? |
| 11:10 | owen | Hey kados. |
| 11:10 | kados | hey owen ... |
| 11:10 | have you looked at the LibLime placement of user data? | |
| 11:10 | links, etc? | |
| 11:10 | owen | ? |
| 11:11 | kados | (in response to the Logging in to the OPAC thread on our intranet |
| 11:12 | owen | Looks like your template go switched |
| 11:12 | go -> got | |
| 11:17 | kados | yea |
| 11:19 | owen: someone switched the default language | |
| 11:21 | owen: log in as '2' | |
| 11:21 | owen: to see someone with some actual activity | |
| 11:22 | owen: I've been thinking that it's somewhat redundunt to list 'overdues' and then 'issues' | |
| 11:22 | owen: maybe they should be combined and have overdue items listed first ... then other issues | |
| 11:23 | thd | kados: what experience have you had with CUFTS? |
| 11:23 | kados | thd: well ... just a bit |
| 11:23 | thd: it's basically a journal openurl resolver | |
| 11:23 | searches for journal titles | |
| 11:23 | and links to them | |
| 11:24 | liblime.com/opensearchportal.html | |
| 11:24 | it's one of the sources on my portal | |
| 11:24 | thd | kados: exactly |
| 11:24 | owen | kados: I like those links there at the top |
| 11:24 | I'm gonna steal that | |
| 11:24 | kados | I've spoken to the researcher folks and they are interested in maybe doing some collaboration with Koha |
| 11:25 | owen: sweet | |
| 11:25 | owen | I also like the 'click here if you're not...' part on that page |
| 11:25 | kados | :-) |
| 11:25 | thd | kados: so you have not communicated with Todd Holbrook, who wrote CRUFTS? |
| 11:25 | owen | I too worry about the overdues/issues thing... |
| 11:25 | Maybe the overdues list needs to be really compact, so that it's easy to scan | |
| 11:26 | kados | thd: yea I've chatted with todd on IRC |
| 11:26 | owen | ...get rid of covers and item type images, etc. |
| 11:26 | kados | owen: hmmm ... what if we just changed the background color for overdue items |
| 11:26 | owen | That's a good option too |
| 11:26 | kados | owen: the only complaint I have about the current system is that items are listed twice |
| 11:27 | owen: if we had an 'overdues' heading ... then a 'other issues' heading | |
| 11:27 | thd | kados: Is he working further on CUFTS at this point? |
| 11:27 | kados | and none of the items were listed twice that'd make more sense |
| 11:27 | thd: not really sure ... | |
| 11:27 | thd: http://www.theresearcher.ca/pr[…]ponent_cufts.html | |
| 11:28 | thd: I think they still support CUFTS in several libraries | |
| 11:28 | thd: what's your interest in CUFTS? | |
| 11:28 | thd | kados: At leat he released the code under GPL, I cannot find any code release for GODOT |
| 11:30 | kados: I have acquired significant in OpenURL focus since the 1.0 draft was approved as NISO Z39.88-2004 in March. | |
| 11:31 | kados: In the past three weeks I have been neglecting my work on latent OpenURLs to do some work on Koha | |
| 11:32 | kados | thd: have you looked at keystone? |
| 11:33 | thd: indexdata.dk/keystone | |
| 11:33 | thd | kados: there is a group working to allow OpenURLs as latent OpenURLs to be embedded in any web page with a changeable base for the resolver |
| 11:34 | kados: I had only looked at Keystone and Zebra at the beginning of the year very briefly skimming through the features and documentation. | |
| 11:36 | kados: I liked the fact that Keystone supported SRW but not enough libraries do yet. | |
| 11:49 | owen | kados: did you write the opac-readingrecord template from scratch? I don't see it anywhere in cvs |
| 11:51 | thd | kados: I see the OpenURL and resolver functionality in the specifications now. At the beginning of the year that would not have signified as much for me before I had become engaged by OpenURLs and the possibity of sharing them instead of hiding them in an indexing and abstracting service. |
| 11:52 | kados | owen: yea ... |
| 11:52 | thd | kados: the sharing aspect had been left out of the NISO standard so there is a scramble right now to solve that issue in a satisfactory way. |
| 11:52 | kados | owen: I based it on an older version of 1.2's script |
| 11:52 | owen: I'll commit it later today | |
| 11:53 | thd: interesting ... | |
| 11:53 | thd: do you think it would be useful for Koha to include an openurl linking service? | |
| 11:54 | owen | kados: if it's easier to just email me a copy of the template I can do it |
| 11:57 | thd | kados: koha should absolutely have the ability to at least add OpenURL services using Keystone or CUFTS, and to integrate with whatever commercial resolver a library may already have configured. |
| 11:58 | kados: The administration of the resolver can be a major burden for the library to ensure the holdings are resovable. |
