Darf ich vorstellen: https://codeberg.org/weirdfox/mfs

Ein Tool, mit dem man Metadaten herunterladen kann. Gerade nur Publikationen über DOI von Crossref / DataCite / OpenAlex, wird aber in alle möglichen Richtungen erweitert. Nutze es um Rust zu lernen, ist aber ernst gemeint :)

Momentan eine sehr Alpha-Version verfügbar, von jeglicher produktiven Nutzung ist stark abzuraten.

Ich freue mich über Tipps, Ideen, Kritik!

Über neue Releases wird hier ebenfalls berichtet.

Loved the "Scaffolding Possibility: Systems, Stress, and Small Acts of Care" post by @platypus

"we are the people building small parts of the environment in which those around us live every day. If we’re not building systems, can we build scaffolds to get people to the things they need to live and thrive? Whether it’s just in a place designers didn’t expect them to go or somewhere they were actively shut out of?"

The first alpha version of Skosmos 3 has been published! This release provides a peek into the upcoming next major version of the Skosmos publishing tool for SKOS controlled vocabularies.

The release features a reimplemented front-end with a fresh layout and improved accessibility, as well as many architectural improvements and modernization of the codebase.

It, uh, probably isn't ethical to host #Code4Lib in the US next year.

US academics also aren't going to have much in the way of travel funds, either.

Can we talk about an online-only conference now?

The #Code4Lib pet tax ++++ #c4l25

#Code4Lib is a very special place where breakouts can be:

- ArchivesSpace Discussion w/Program Team Devs (Friend Center 108)
- How to Index Subject Headings (Friend Center 109)
- How to Defend Yourself Against a Dagger-Armed Brigand in Quattrocento Italy (Reprise) (Courtyard)
- Digitization Workflows (Friend Center 110)
- Local and Open Source Discovery Systems (Friend Center 111)

etc. #c4l25 (once you see it)

Really enjoying all of the talks about dealing with bots at this year's #Code4Lib conference. Very relatable, unfortunately

#code4lib presenter on LCSH remapping -- talking about the problem many of us encounter with shared cataloguing overwriting remediated headings -- and by implication are about to encounter in managing questionable LCSH revisions in the new regime.

First questioner is on that exact matter.

I am here at #Code4Lib! I have hugged friends! I have eaten food! I have applied my backup text method because there’s no presenter view.

Going to a conference this week? Why not back up your phone tonight! #code4lib in particular but also just a good idea for life.

Version 1.3 of the automated subject subject indexing tool #Annif has been released!

This release introduces support for the EstNLTK analyzer for better Estonian lemmatization , optimizations to the MLLM backend, as well as maintenance and bug fixes, including better file permissions in multi-user environments.

My librarian/developer friends! We have officially launched/stabilized our journal, Studies in Russian Literature, Philosophy, and Religious Thought. Built entirely from markdown using a pandoc docx -> markdown -> html/latex CI/CD process.

Please (kindly) eviscerate my code!

I've been fooling around with a #Python script for converting #MARC bibliographic records to #Markdown for use with a static website generator. Probably only has an audience of one (me), but it's not complicated and it solves an interesting problem for private #librarians: how can we get our collections out there when LibraryThing isn't enough but a full OPAC is too much?

On behalf of the #code4lib keynote committee, I am delighted to announce our #c4l25 speakers: @platypus and @Drnikki ! Thanks to everyone who nominated & voted on our can't-miss slate of nominees. Really looking forward to hearing these talks in the spring.

#Code4Lib! You nominated some amazing potential keynote speakers and 8 of them are available to speak. Now you get to pick your favorites \o/ . Voting is open until until Dec 13: https://forms.gle/sZu15v2VbzV7sokv7

I just had a paper published: "The Interconnectedness of All Things: Understanding Digital Collections Through File Similarity" in Preservation, Digital Technology & Culture.

Come hurl your abuse and academic reprisals at me!

The automated subject indexing tool #Annif version 1.2 has been released! This release adds API and CLI functionality for language detection (based on the #Simplemma library), automated download of NLTK data packages, full support for Python 3.12, a few bug fixes and upgraded dependencies.

Hmm, #Code4Lib journal is down: https://journal.code4lib.org/ cc @kiru

Library systems friends - other than supplier / user group conferences, what are you favourite conferences and events that are significantly or mostly focused on library technology and systems? Looking for more things like #code4lib.
