  • What a cookie 🙂

    Well, another year, another great monster cookie ride. The Salem Bike club does such a frantastic job of putting this ride on. The volunteers make sure that that the oranges, bananas, and peanut butter stays flowing and the then course itself is gorgous. Its a mostly flat course that takes you past lots of farm…

  • And so the cycling season begins….

    Whoo!  The summer cycling season for me is starting up.  Its 7 AM, about 45 degrees outside…sunny and I’m getting ready to head out the door to ride in the Salem Bike Club’s Monster Cookie event.  This is a really cool metric century ride that goes through the Oregon Wine country.  Its a well done event…

  • MarcEdit Update

    A small update.  This cleans the installation, optimizes some of the MARC Editing tools in the MarcEditor (particularly the subfield edit utility) and updates the Extract and Delete selected records utility so users can do multiple queries while retaining their last set of checked items. Also, I’ve updated some help information.  As always, the program…

  • Emulating III’s Advance Keyword Searching using Z39.50

    Its funny how things work.  I was talking today with David Walker about III and their Z39.50 implementation.  The problem that David had noticed and had asked me about was whether I had noticed that the items being returned via the Z39.50 keyword search were different than a query done via the Opac.  Up until…

  • I’m back

    So I’m back. I’ve been gone for the better half of 5 days, having gone to relax, fish, do a little crabbing and spend time with my family. Here are some pictures. This first picture is of Kenny fishing. I took him down to the docks at 10 mile Lake in Lakeside, OR to see…

    For those looking for me — I’m taking off on an extended fishing trip for the next few days. –Terry

  • LibraryFind (Metasearch) testing expanded

    I’m preparing some documents for our library faculty and staff as we begin expanding the beta testing to the entire library.  I make the next cutover from our development to semi-production server this Friday —  so barring any unforeseen problems or objections by the project team (good thing Jeremy is in New York till next…

  • LibraryFind (metasearch update)

    Its been a little bit since I updated folks on our metasearch development.  I’m including a current screenshot that shows the current look with a new function — inline OpenURL resolution.  As users scroll over the Find in library link, they see the openURL items show up directly in their window. So what’s been worked…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    Alrighty — I’ve posted a new update to MarcEdit 5.0.  And for those wondering — I’m going to be moving the version number to 5.1 by ALA and out of beta the program will come.  At this point, we are no longer finding problems in the application — the only holdup has been documentation creation…

  • My DLF Trip Report

    I’d forgotten to post my trip report from DLF — so here it is. DLF Federation Trip Report.doc –Terry
