This approach offers fresh insights for metadata and cataloging practitioners. The step-by-step explanation is fantastic, particularly regarding how automated processes were balanced with human-in-the-loop review to maintain data quality. see

Comment on The Drawings of the Florentine Painters: From Print Catalog to Linked Open Data by Peter Colquhoun

Peter Colquhoun — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 15:47:39 +0000

I have been trying to find an online version of the 1961 The drawings of the Florentine painters (text and catalogue entries volumes) by Berenson but so far without any success. Downloadable pdf would be preferred but even if this is not possible I would still appreciate online access.

Comment on Use of Cue Sheets in Audio Digitization by edmund harrington

edmund harrington — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 12:22:03 +0000

The cue-sheet workflow is a useful way to turn repetitive WAV splitting into something auditable and repeatable. I also appreciated how the Shntool and LAME steps are tied back to preserving the master files.

Comment on Real-Time Reporting Using the Alma API and Google Apps Script by Nandita

This resonated a lot! Many institutions face very similar scaling and metadata maintenance bottlenecks. It's really encouraging to see how your team navigated these specific constraints effectively. see

This article does a great job of compiling some of the hard-won knowledge developed in the Code4Lib #bots slack channel over the past year or so!

If you are a Rails developer and interested in the selective-path CloudFlare Turnstile approach discussed, please see the bot_challenge_page gem for Rails apps, which is now pretty stable, well-tested, with I think good developer ergonomics, and working well. https://github.com/samvera-labs/bot_challenge_page

Comment on Works, Expressions, Manifestations, Items: An Ontology by Basma Chebani

Basma Chebani — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:38:54 +0000

Dear Karen Coyle,
I enjoyed reading your article, but you didn’t mention the RDA Registry that uses the WEMI Model (LRM) in relationships as uri in MARC records and elsewhere. I am heavily using these RDA WEMI in making the relationships between Works and manifestations and expressions in the Library Catalog in American University of Beirut Libraries as a step ahead to Linked Open Data MARC enrichment. Do you think what I am making since 2013 till now is obsolete and I need to use open WEMI instead? . Please advise. chebani.basma@gmail.com

Comment on From Text to Map: Combing Named Entity Recognition and Geographic Information Systems by Dirk

Dirk — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 12:00:28 +0000

Cool stuff!

Some named entities have multiple locations. E.g. London, England and London, Canada. Let’s say that you also had Bristol as a NER. How would you ensure that London, England is picked for GIS rather than London, Canada? Do you have an algorithm for that?

Comment on Utilizing R and Python for Institutional Repository Daily Jobs by Carolyn Sullivan

Hello Yongli,

Thank you for this article and for providing your code. I’m curious though–how did your institution come to select ContentDM as a DAMS over DSpace? It surprises me since most libraries over the past decade seem to be adopting DSpace, and I’d read a few articles that seemed to suggest folks had previously found ContentDM problematic (ie. ‘Breaking up with ContentDM’, Code4Lib 2013, Gilbert & Mobley; ‘ContentDM to Digital Commons’, Journal of Archival Organization 2018, Mita, Pelli, Reamer & Ince). Has ContentDM added any interesting features to their platform or corrected any existing issues? Thanks for any info you can provide!

Comment on Click Tracking with Google Tag Manager for the Primo Discovery Service by Scott K

Scott K — Tue, 02 May 2023 16:13:40 +0000

Thanks for sharing this–I added it as-is (with our own container ID) and it worked to get GA4 collecting data in Primo VE for me. I noticed that unless I put it at the very bottom of my customization package’s js file, none of the scripts that came after it would run. I’m not good enough with JavaScript to understand why, but I wondered if the author (or anyone else) might be able to tell me why that happened.
