UW-Madison and UIUC have co-created BibApp, free Open Source \"Institutional Bibliography\" software.

BibApp imports and analyzes citations, helping librarians identify which articles to archive locally. It also provides a unique social view of research on campus, showing who publishes most often with whom, and which departments are collaborating with one another.

Eric Larson is head of Digital and Computer Services at Wendt Library and leads BibApp\'s development. He told us what BibApp is all about and how it can help librarians and others.

\'\'**What it\'s about**\'\'

Example of why BibApp is useful:

People at UW are studying Tokamak, a machine that may be able to create virtually unlimited environmentally-friendly energy. Those experts should be able to find each other.

If you do a Google search (tokamak site:wisc.edu), it\'s not that helpful.

He came up with the idea of BibApp by thinking about how to serve the ECE department on campus. We already have c]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:47:48 +0000 add FrontPage http://slislita.pbwiki.com/FrontPage no.email.given@example.com (Anonymous) Anonymous edited FrontPage 2007-2008 Activities

Choosing a Linux "Distro"
There are many flavors ("distributions" or "distros) of Linux. Ubuntu is a great choice for your first Linux experience, but if you decide to consider others -- for example, if your computer is too old to run Ubuntu well -- the following sites will help you pick.

Activity Updates



We went over 2007-2008 Activity Plan. Updates...


 



  1. Just for Fun Event. Three ideas: board/card games, bowling, and watching a video / playing video games. An email will follow to get peoples' opinions.

  2. LIS Tech Overview. Several volunteers will help brainstorm what should go in the class/document. Some of us will meet 2/13, and the rest will e-brainstorm.

  3. Open Source Open House. Done. It was swell.

  4. Presentations à la LITA. Not official LITA events per se, but LITA folks (Angela Milock, Becky Yoose, David Drexler, and Laura Wynholds) have offered or are planning a number of presentations

Giveaways
the Ubunutu Ubuntu and Puppy Linux distros. A Live CD lets you try out Linux without installing anything on your computer; simply insert the CD and reboot. Note that when running from CD you will certainly experience delays, and possibly reduced performance, so don't judge Linux' speed based on your Live CD experience.
Open Source Samples CDs. We also provided a CD that had an assortment of Open Source applications, both standard applications and portable applications.
