Library module: Link Resolver

Thu, 2009-07-30 16:03 — mark

The Link Resolver Module provides Drupal with a local mechanism to add and maintain institutional link resolver data (institution name, resolver url, etc). Data can be added manually but is also "automagically" captured via the WorldCat OpenURL Gateway IP lookup service as users visit your site, imported en masse via CSV (a default list is included in the module) or added via a WorldCat Registry Institutional ID lookup.

This module doesn't provide OpenURL links, but it can work with any module that provides OpenURL links, like the Biblio Module. One or two integration modules are in the works and should be available in the near future. For now, please consult the Link Resolver README.txt file for instructions on how to use its API.

HILCC module for Drupal

Tue, 2009-03-17 15:33 — janusman

I have just posted DEV version of a new module in Drupal.org, which takes in LCC Call numbers taken from nodes (biblio and CCK) and automatically tags nodes with appropriate hierarchic tags (from Columbia University Libraries' HILCC). For now it's only for Drupal 5.

Request for feedback: New ILS Authentication module

Thu, 2009-02-26 17:32 — mark

I've been working on this module for a couple of weeks now and I'm at the stage where I'd like to see if it would be useful to other libraries. The module started off as a replacement for the aging and unmaintained III Authentication module I wrote back in 2006. Here at Simon Fraser University Library we are developing a thesis submission management application in Drupal and need to authenticate students against our Innovative patron records, and this second-generation module grew out of that new need.

Quiz module

Wed, 2009-02-11 21:13 — mark

I've installed the Quiz module on this site. It's pretty neat -- yet another example of a contributed module that adds a whole new dimension to Drupal. The latest official release only supports multiple-choice questions, but the maintainer says more features are on the way, like matching and essay-style questions. If you want to try a little demo quiz on installing Drupal modules, go for it.

Library module: Islandora Fedora-Drupal module

The Islandora module allows Drupal users to view and manage digital objects stored in Fedora.

New module on d.o. called 'oai2forcck'

Tue, 2008-08-19 16:51 — mark

oai2forcck provides an OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) gateway for content type created with CCK (Drupal 5 only). If you don't already know what OAI-PMH is, you probably don't care about this module.

Some examples. All expose unqualified Dublin Core.

New module on d.o. called 'Library'

This new module, released on Aug. 8, looks like it has potential as a lightweight ILS. It allows site admins to define content types for books and other circulating physical material, to define copies of the books (called 'items'), and to define simple borrower records. Here's a late-night walkthrough of how this module works.

Beta release of Millennium integration module

Fri, 2008-04-11 07:14 — janusman

I am proud to announce the newest version of the Millennium integration module, which crawls a Millennium WebOpac and converts MARC into Biblio nodes, adds taxonomy terms, and can show holdings information in real-time.

Check it out here: http://drupal.org/project/millennium
