What can GDC do?

• Can edit marc tags, fields
• can delete, edit, add
• can set preferences
• can limit by user names including create rules but not implement - so some one person could create rules but someone else has authority to run; can define by user role what can be edited (R note could be useful for a review/test  process)

Examples:

• all records must have ____ (specific criteria; R note in the case of POs 910 = PA + lacking 245 indicators )
• like a global find and replace (R note: YES! yes! So, could fix typos in 5xx fields! or invalid MARC tagging in PO ; looks useful)

How to do it:

• create record set (R note: we could use old provisional records with incorrect marc indicators as a test)
• RULE: create a rule use if/then statements
• further define rules through sets  - (R note: daisy chain together) to edit multiple fields - one rule for each field but then change them
• Preview /Review before change
• Will highlight changes
• Jump through set of records (e.g., 10 records at a time - your choice)
• If you find something that doesn't belong, you can remove it manually during preview
• If rule doesn't work, you will get a notice
• Update or review changes before you actually run

Run job or schedule

More powerful/easier to use than marcedit

More examples - updated authorized headings (RDA)

fixed fields

add OCLC #s

cleanup recon

add/remove standard notes

changed locations - pick and scan for item tho (of course you have to have the barcode.... but you don't have to have piece - R note) doesn't interfere with cataloging work - because whoever has record open has it (“locked” sort of) ; can schedule

Gmail: search & limit by date, exclude google buzz & more

If you've ever tried to search through 300 (or egads - 3000+) GMail emails, then you know how challenging the "never delete" idea is. Sorting is not really part of the GMail world (there is some sorting, but it rather limited). I usually build the search in the search box (similar to oldschool command line searching). (If you prefer to use an easy guided search tool, skip to the bottom of this post)

A typical search for me would look something like
drupal -buzz from:georgiawebgurl@gmail.com after:2011/5/25 before:2011/09/1 in:anywhere

Here are some of the search operators that I find useful:

•  From searches who sent it to you
• To searches who you sent it to
• " " (quotes) putting a phrase in quotes will search the whole phrase
• -  excludes word (I use -buzz to always exclude my G Buzz posts)
• Date range after:2011/5/25 before:2011/6/9 (Dates in yyyy/mm/dd format.)
• in: is used to specify location (in:trash in:inbox in:spam in:anywhere) - in:anywhere is everything 
• label: used to search by your labels
  
• a full list of search operators is listed here 

SO, drupal after:2009/5/25 before:2010/1/1 -buzz , pulls up all of my email from May 25 2009 - January 1, 2010 that is about drupal excluding any Google buzz posts.

If you don't know the operator, it is hard to figure out what to put there. There is help for that, though. One of the most easily overlooked links in the GMail interface is the search options link. It will help you build the search you need.

How to create a Google+ badge for your website (or blogger)

I used this very nifty little tool at widgetsplus to create a Google+ badge.

• Get your Google+ ID. (the easiest way is to login to Google+ Your ID number is the long string of numbers For example my public profile is http://plus.google.com/109563226758360576597; the ID number is that bit at the end. For more info about Google IDs, visit my post here. 
• Copy your ID number.
• Customize your widget using the widget tool. If your name is very long, you will want to use a width greater than 160 or a smaller font size (it will truncate your name otherwise). My name is georgiawebgurl;I used a smaller font size since I wanted this in my sidebar.
• Basic settings: your Google+ ID, width of badge, and whether you want to include any of your latest posts. 
• Main area settings: Widget colors. 
• Title settings: Change the tag line (the default is Add Me On...)
• Name text: change colors, font type, and size of text relating to your name
• Button: Font size and colors for button (* makes transparent) 
• Bottom text: Font size and color for text at bottom (including the latest posts, if you select 'Include update feed') 
• Click on Get Code to see preview and get the code for copy + paste.  
• Copy code.

Here is what the code looks like in case (yes, you can copy and paste the code, but then you still need to customize it for you!)

Add your Google+ badge to blogger 

• Go to Design.
• Decide where you want to add it on your blog template (mine is left sidebar) and click on Add a Gadget.
• Under Basic Gadgets find HTML/Javascript
• Click on the + button to add it to your design.
• Title (you can leave this blank if you do not want it have any text above your widget)
• Paste in your code from widgetsplus.
• Save your template. Voila!

Choosing Technology (free webinar!)

Choosing Technology: How We Decide What Technologies Work Best in Our Libraries
( http://georgialibraries.org/events/wed-web-series/choosing-technology-how-we-decide-what-technologies-work-best-our-libraries )Presented by Tim Daniels
Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 10:00am - 11:00am Eastern Time
Separate registration is required for each hour-long session (free & open to everyone!)
In today's environment librarians are constantly bombarded with new and emerging technologies. These technologies can run the gamut from smart phone applications to enterprise-wide systems. How can we decide which technologies are the best, which ones to keep an eye on, and which ones to avoid? During this session we will talk about decision making and apply it to technology.


Personal Knowledge Management: A Framework for Librarians
( http://georgialibraries.org/events/wed-web-series/personal-knowledge-management-framework-librarians )Presented by Elisabeth Shields

Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 11:15am - 12:15pm Eastern Time
Separate registration is required for each hour-long session.

Searching is the easy part. But what do you do with all the material youve collected? What happens when you find an article that reminds you of something someone said in a meeting two weeks ago (or was it three)? What do you do to share your own thoughts, insights from articles and blogs, and what your manager said at the last staff meeting with the team charged with developing a strategic plan?

Tools for knowledge management are usually meant for institutions and are correspondingly expensive. But there are many tools for personal knowledge management that are very affordable. Discuss personal management needs with Elisabeth Shields; hear about the types of tools available with examples of each type.

Mirror blogging at ee and blogger

So, this is truly a test to see if I can mirror blog/auto post to 2 blogs at the same time (long reason for why I want to do this, which has nothing to do with spam -- truly)

Customizing/styling a blogger rss feed using Feedburner

To find your blogger feed for a label (category/tag), check out this post.

Part 2 - CUSTOMIZING & STYLING A RSS FEED WITH FEEDBURNER

Open feedburner.com

• Sigh in with feedburner using your google/gmail account login password and ID.
• Before we can style and customize the display of our feed, we have to link it with Feedburner.
  
• You should see "Burn a feed right this instant. Type your blog or feed address here:" If you've already set up some of this, you will see this option at the bottom of your existing list.
  

• Type in your blogger URL -- if you want to only include a particular label (category/tag) you will need to use the URL for the category (as in Part 1a). If you want to include your whole blog, you would just put your blog url in.
• So, in my example:
• To style my feed just for my artwork, I would use
• http://contentdivergent.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/my%20art
• To style my feed for my whole blog, I would just use
• http://contentdivergent.blogspot.com/
• Then Click Next.

• Feed Title: This is what will display to you in your list of feeds and MAY be displayed in your website... (in our case, a Facebook page) should you choose that option. Either way, make it short yet descriptive.
• Feed address: You can just leave the default setting from feedburner.
• Click Next.

So, the feed is setup through Feedburner, but we still need to customize and style it.

Click Next. (This will allow you to also setup statistics for your feed for Free!)
I'm not going to be doing podcasts, so I just check the other options.


So, I check Clickthroughs and Feedburner stats, Then Next.



First, I'm going to optimize (though you can do this in most any order). I'm going to keep this simple and really not do too much customization.

The 2 most basic features are to make it browser friendly (just makes it more portable) and then smart (for mobile, etc.) So, we'll click first on BrowserFriendly and then SmartFeed.


BrowserFriendly: Probably the most important here is the choice of how the feed displays -- do you want just titles or content? I want both. You can also add a personalized message too. Like subscribe here, or something like that.

SAVE it to activate it and save the configuration.




Now to make our feed compatible with any service and then onward to publishing our widget (code)
Click on SmartFeed.



Click on Activate to make your feed compatible with any reader.





Now we're going to Publicize our feed (in other words, style and customize it for use on another website, Facebook, or well, just about any place...)


There are all sorts of choices here, so you may want to experiment. We'll start with BuzzBoost which creates code compatible with HTML.

Basically, I've told it to show 10 items from my blog in html formatting (which should include links and images).

I've removed feed title, because I will customize that in Facebook.

Since I am the single author, there is no need to really include my name after every post. If you had a multi-author blog, that might be a very important feature.

Since I am using this to push content elsewhere, I don't really care to have the link to the feed display.

Once I make all of my selections, I will click Activate to save and get my code.



More customizing using buzzboost -- styling and aggregating from multiple blogs (could use multiple categories in blogger, too> available here

Copy and paste code for use in webpages, Facebook, etc.

Blogger feed by label (tag/category) -- getting your URL

This post covers how to get a blog label / tag (category) into feedburner (or even how to determine what it actually is). If you need to know how to style your RSS Feed or repackage it for a HTML only page, you'll want to check out
If you're trying to get your blog into a Facebook page, there are a couple of different options, which I will cover later. Unfortunately some of the apps/tools in Facebook for pulling in feeds do not seem to work as well with the label feed, but I'm testing some ideas.

PART 1 -- HOW TO GET YOUR BLOGGER FEED FOR A LABEL / TAG (CATEGORY)
First click on a tag/label to get your url for that category (you do not need to be logged into blogger).
This is my link for my tag, my art
http://contentdivergent.blogspot.com/search/label/my%20art

The RSS for that category is:
http://contentdivergent.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/my%20art

In other words, you will find the URL for your tag in blogger and then replace search/label/ with
feeds/posts/default/~/

Doublecheck before you try to use it; either through editing in the address bar. You should see something that looks like this (this is firefox)



Success! -- at least in terms of getting your RSS for a category in blogger.
If that is all you needed, you are done.
