Thanks to all of our presenters! We had a great turnout and saw a delightful variety of library and libraryish projects. Well done, all!

The presenters at this meeting were:

Jean Amaral (QCC) — Guide on the Side
Amy Ballmer (GC) & Jennifer Poggiali (Lehman) — Avalanche Magazine Index
Steve Zweibel (Hunter) — RFID in library books
Yoko Inagi (CCNY) — Using macros in Aleph
Robin Davis (JJ) — CollectiveAccess and Gephi

Presenters, please list any links and helpful resources here so we can follow up on your work.

John Jay library digital collections site:
Not going to post the URL yet, but our chosen and metadata-friendly CMS is Collective Access (http://www.collectiveaccess.org/). We’re working with Open Flows (http://openflows.org/), a web dev consulting team. Will launch next semester.

Visualizing research community information (see hairball viz attached):
* Gephi: network viz software https://gephi.org/
* Great tutorial: make a scientometrics network using Scopus + Gephi http://www.medialab.sciences-po.fr/blog/how-to-extract-and-visualize-a-scientometrics-network/ (but note that this process probably visualizes co-authors not affiliated with your institution—see https://github.com/robincamille/gephi-scripts for the script I wrote to only visualize John Jay-affiliated authors)
* Easy tool: CSV » Gephi-friendly file: http://tools.medialab.sciences-po.fr/table2net/
* Automate various Scopus data viz without Gephi: http://tools.medialab.sciences-po.fr/sciencescape/

I’ll write up a tutorial soon, perhaps once I come up with better visualizations and figure out where I can get similar humanities citation data. (Anyone?)
