This webinar is about the Open Source software that is available to supplement your library system, regardless of whether you are using an Open Source Library System like Koha or Evergreen or a proprietary system like Millennium, CARL, or Horizon.
Software that dramatically extends and expands the capabilities of your library system software fall into two main categories: discovery interface and metasearch. While other products (e.g. content management systems) may integrate with your ILS to some degree, we will focus our attention on discovery and metasearch tools, how they work and who is using them.

Library metadata was created to describe objects and enable a reader to understand when they had the same or a different object in hand. Now linked data concepts and techniques are allowing us to recreate, merge, and link our metadata assets in new ways that better support discovery - both in our local systems and on the wider web. Tennant described this migration and the potential it has for solving key discovery problems.
SAFETY NETS: RESCUE AND REVIVAL FOR ENDANGERED BORN-DIGITAL RECORDS- Program ...Micah Altman
The web is now firmly established as the primary communication and publication platform for sharing and accessing social and cultural materials. This networked world has created both opportunities and pitfalls for libraries and archives in their mission to preserve and provide ongoing access to knowledge. How can the affordances of the web be leveraged to drastically extend the plurality of representation in the archive? What challenges are imposed by the intrinsic ephemerality and mutability of online information? What methodological reorientations are demanded by the scale and dynamism of machine-generated cultural artifacts? This talk will explore the interplay of the web, contemporary historical records, and the programs, technologies, and approaches by which libraries and archives are working to extend their mission to preserve and provide access to the evidence of human activity in a world distinguished by the ubiquity of born-digital materials.
Information Science Brown Bag talks, hosted by the Program on Information Science, consists of regular discussions and brainstorming sessions on all aspects of information science and uses of information science and technology to assess and solve institutional, social and research problems. These are informal talks. Discussions are often inspired by real-world problems being faced by the lead discussant.

While knowledgebases have become essential tools for electronic resources management, little research has been done about how practitioners have integrated them into their everyday workflows. Inspired by a partnership with the GOKb project, which aims to build an open source knowledgebase, librarians at North Carolina State University set out to investigate the practical requirements, areas of improvement, and desired enhancements that librarians have for their knowledgebases. During this program, the presenters will describe the results of a survey about knowledgebase use sent to electronic resources managers across the country. The survey results will be supplemented by individual points of view gathered from in-depth interviews with selected respondents.The program will conclude with a look at how the findings of the investigation can be applied to the GOKb project. At the end of the session, the attendee should walk away with an understanding of trends in knowledgebase management, areas where the greatest improvement is needed, and ideas for enhancing knowledgebase functionality in an open source setting.

Best Practices for Descriptive Metadata for Web ArchivingOCLC
Web archiving has become imperative to ensure that our digital heritage does not disappear forever, yet many institutions have not begun this work. In addition, archived websites are not easily discoverable, which severely limits their use. To address this challenge, OCLC Research has established the OCLC Research Library Partnership Web Archiving Metadata Working Group to develop a data dictionary that will be compatible with library and archives standards. Three reports on this project are available in late 2017, focused on metadata best practices guidelines, user needs and behaviors, and evaluation of web archiving tools.

Library discovery: past, present and some futureslisld
A presentation at the NISO virtual conference on Webscale Discovery Services, 20 November 2013.
Considers some of the issues that have led to the adoption of these services, and some future directions.
Distinguishes between discovery (providing a library destination) and discoverability (making stuff discoverable elsewhere).
Keynote Speaker: Matt Goldner, Executive Director, Cooperative Collection Services, OCLC
Expanding Our Horizons: Reaching for the Limits[PowerPoint]
The future of the library OPAC as a destination information portal is shaky at best. To surface library collections in today's information environment, libraries will have to move toward exposing themselves in multiple locations and through multiple methods. Looking at some of the successful ways OCLC has been able to surface the library's full capacity can give libraries one way to consider their futures.

Open Source Library System Software: Libraries Are Doing it For Themselvesloriayre
One of the great advantages of an Open Source Library System (OSLS) such as Koha or Evergreen is the ability to empower staff and optimize the user's experience by getting involved in improving the software. This is in contrast to the traditional integrated library system (ILS) model where all the software development was done by "the vendor," creating a condition of "learned helplessness" on the part of library staff. By making the transition to OSLS, you can shift the culture of your organization from "learned helplessness" to one in which everyone can contribute to enhancing their work environment.
This webinar will describe all the ways to get involved with an OSLS project -- even if you aren't a programmer. By the end of the webinar, you will understand why involving your organization in an OSLS project creates opportunities for delivering new services to customers and optimizing the work of your staff.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

15. Allowing Customers to Add Reviews Can Be Dangerous “ This book was very thrilling and the ending took me by surprise when I've learned that Sirius Black was actually innocent and Ron Weasley's rat, Scabbers,was actually a servant of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Name. Voldmort dies in the 7th book.”
No single website is the sole focus of a user's attention. Increasingly people discover websites, or encounter content from them, in a variety of places. These may be network level services (Google, ...), or personal services (my RSS aggregator or 'webtop'), or services which allow me to traverse from personal to network (Delicious, LibraryThing, ...). — Lorcan Dempsey, “Discovery happens elsewhere” (http://orweblog.oclc.org/archives/001430.html)
Current APIs provided by vendors are limited (ask for ingredients to apple pie and get the whole pie or some key ingredients missing) Inconsistent implement of SIP Expense of SIP Slowness of Z39.50 Maybe NCIP2 will be better Screen-scraping - grab output intended for display to end user Not documented Not structured for convenient parsing Direct query access to database: most vendors don’t support it (or if they do, it costs extra) IF YOU HAVE AN OSLS… <other developments if you don’t have an OSLS>
New approach: move toward XML-based web services API model to enable developers outside of the library community to more easily access the information stored within the ILS. In 2007, the Digital Library Federation convened the ILS Discovery Interface Task Group (ILS-DI) Purpose: analyze issues involved in integrating integrated library systems (ILS's) and discovery applications create a technical proposal for accomplishing such integration. Initial recommendation of the group (&quot;revision 1.0&quot;) published in June 2008. <other technologies that are improving “discovery”>
OAI-PMH: OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting A way to take many different types of data formats, organized in different ways and make it findable/discoverable SOA service oriented architecture modular programs that perform a single, simple task (restaurant analogy) tasks are re-usable, recallable (call the busboy to clean the table) the presentation, business logic and computer logic are separate food on the plate / menu / recipe Example of web services is when the ILS communicates with Amazon’s API to pull reviews and book covers. This is an “application to application communication over the Internet.”
databases and catalogs use a variety of metadata schemas, indexes, and algorithms, and the metasearch engine must make often arbitrary decisions about how to aggregate, and order the search results. Source: http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/faq
An open source social discovery platform for bibliographic data. It provides a graphic integration between the catalog UI and the library's Drupal (CMS) site. Composed of three parts: SOPAC (UI), Locum (ILS connector), Insurge (data repository) Entire project licensed: GPL v.3
2.1 Enhancements - Multi-branch support - Incorporation of 3rd-party data into discovery index (Syndetics, Amazon, etc) - Destination login links within the catalog - &quot;X of Y copies&quot; availability in the hitlist and record view - Limit searches to available items - Links for downloadable items - Vacation holds (pause your holds) - Internationalization - Native support for diacritics
Blacklight uses Solr to index and search text and/or metadata, and it has a highly configurable Ruby on Rails front-end. Currently, Blacklight can index, search, and provide faceted browsing for MaRC records and EAD XML files, and support is planned for Dublin Core and MODS as well. Blacklight was originally developed at the University of Virginia Library and is made public under an Apache 2.0 license. As of version 2.2.0 (released June 8, 2009), Blacklight is distributed as an engines plugin and as a demo application that uses the engines plugin.
Right side allows searcher to limit by Facets behave like tag clouds: Subject Genre Place & Time Format (audiobook, book , e-resource journal, microform, video) Author Tags
Apache Lucene : a search engine library for indexing content Solr : a Lucene-based search server that includes facets PHP : a scripting language for Web development AJAX : techniques used to load data asynchronously (facets, availability) Other libraries involved in development: CARLI is working with the open source community to continue to develop and improve VuFind so that it will serve the unique needs of the consortial community, and serve libraries of all sizes within the CARLI I‑Share community and beyond. Discovery is an online search tool which is being developed by the Research and Development Services department of CSU Libraries.
WebVoyage (Voyager OPAC) at I-Share Libraries WebVoyage: shared catalog for CARLI – Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois Better suited for known-item searching More sophisticated, library-savvy searching Just added records immediately available in WebVoyage (VuFind finds items added as of 9pm the night before – new items are exported and reindexed for VuFind)
Just like WebVoyage, CARLI users can checked item availability and place requests Benefits of VuFind over WebVoyage -better for discovery and narrowing large searches -item level requests (avoids time outs that sometimes happen with WebVoyager) -links to Google Book Search for previews -more accessible (screen readers, etc) -better integration with SFX (URL linker)
Similar goals as VUFind and Blacklight, but XC incorporates a modular, standards-based architecture and integrates with a wider range of user interface platforms. Does NOT use metasearch: uses a series of services to collect metadata, normalize it into a common format, enhance existing relationships, refine it into FRBR levels, and then construct a single efficient interface that provides precise and comprehensive searches. Search performance and results ranking issues can now be overcome with the XC architecture. In addition to providing discovery tools (like VUFind and Blacklight), XC’s Metadata Services Toolkit provides services for metadata normalization Aggregation Enrichment Can use XC to prepare metadata for use in a variety of user environments, both commercial and open source. Can customize out-of-the-box user interface and add to functionality of your website. Offers a platform that fully integrates online catalog with library website.
The OAI Toolkit enables OAI-PMH harvestability of an existing repository (part of XC or standalone) is a server application written in Java only needed for ILS’s and other repositories that do not already have the ability to be act as OAI-PMH Repositories (OAI Servers) NCIP Toolkit acts as intermediary between NCIP clients and the ILS to provide real-time interaction with ILS client sends an NCIP request to the toolkit, the request is parsed and sent to the ILS using its proprietary interface response is then translated back into the NCIP protocol and returned to the client. XC user interface The XC Project plans to include NCIP toolkit drivers for a wide range of popular commercial and open-source integrated library systems.
A unique metasearch tool for a couple of reasons: Integrated OpenURL resolution Both a harvester/indexer and federated search tool Metadata driven knowledge-base Implements a 3-tier caching system Issues: Have no control over the response time of the remote query targets Working with targets so they allow better access to their servers or their data Better: XML gateway (instead of Z39.50) - optimally through harvesting via OAI-PMH). How to minimize slow response time on users: The 0.9.0 branch represents a different direction in the UI — in that the UI will be much more responsive to users, allow users to stop a query at any point and retrieve present results, see queries and search status, etc. search result caching - we use a tiered caching system to enable users who happen to enter a search that some other user had previously performed to take advantage of that fact of get their results quite quickly - by caching the results of the first instance of the search, we do not need to go out an query the remote targets again. Technology: Ruby on Rails – OS web framework provides easy, quick, flexible UI development MySQL Lucene (Ferret) web services (REST, SOAP/WSDL)
Works with SFX (and URL resolvers used by many libraries because SFX provides an XML representation of the request results. Innovative has no API support for its OpenURL component so would not work with LibraryFind. Uses the following protocols to harvest OAI or MARC formatted data: Z39.50 / SRU / SRW OAI-PMH OpenSearch SOAP / WSDL COinS
