Emergency Contact Systems Revisited

Sorry to bring this up again, but we have narrowed our search of
Emergency Contact Systems to 3 vendors and would love to talk with you
if you are using any of the 3. The 3 systems we have narrowed our list
to are 2Unify, SchoolReach, and AlertNow. We are especially interested
in talking with you if you use 2Unify or SchoolReach, as there has been
much discussion about AlertNow on this list. If you would be available
to talk with me, please contact me off list. Thank you for your
consideration!

Turnitin Ruled Fair Use (UNCLASSIFIED)

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED=20
Caveats: NONE

Given past conversation I thought the list might be interested that
Turnitin recently won its first serious court challenge over violating
student's copyright. Interestingly the case did not turn on their
"finger-printing" technology but instead that:

"student essays in their normal form were viewed as having no market,
and their reuse by turnitin did not in any way diminish the students'
"incentive for creativity"-namely, their grades."

Summary Article:
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080326-plagiarism-screener-gets-p
assing-grade-in-copyright-lawsuit.html

Court Decision:
http://www.iparadigms.com/iParadigms_03-11-08_Opinion.pdf

Sadly it was a summary judgment, so someone may push to take another
suite to a jury, but the citation of the Google vs Perfect 10 case, puts
a fairly big nail in the coffin of copyright based arguments.

Schools using Drupal CMS for Extranets?

Hello All,

I am trying to gain a good list of schools who are using Drupal for their
forward facing websites. If you are using Drupal, did you also engage a
developer or designer to work with you? If so, would you mind sharing?


Thanks in advance,

Re: combined library and technology departments

Christopher,

The Blake School merged the library and technology departments in 1999. It hasn't gone as smoothly as the school had hoped, but it is the right decision for Blake. The blur between library/technology becomes more blurry each year. Let me know if you need
additional information. A summary is always nice.

Re: combined library and technology departments

Christopher,

We have been a combined library/technology department for the past ten
years. For us, this integrated department has worked out extremely well.
Here is a description from our website:

Nearly ten years ago, as The Key School contemplated the changes
technology would bring to the education world, the School elected to
form a combined library/technology department; a configuration that was,
at the time, in the vanguard. Rather than equipping the School with
technology, the plan was to equip the students and teachers to use
technology effectively, ethically and with purpose. Key School
librarians, as practicing "information managers," collaborate with Key
School technologists to support students in using technology to solve
problems, to communicate ideas, to think critically as they synthesize
facts and evaluate data. This thinking of a decade ago has allowed Key
School to integrate technology in a manner that is meaningful for the
students and supportive of Key School's Mission.

Re: Online photo storage

Hello, Emily,

Three options that come readily to mind -- all are web
based.

The first is Gallery2 -- http://gallery.menalto.com/

You can also do this in a few different ways using
Drupal -- Drupal also offers automatic scaling
alongside retaining the original, so you can have the
mechanism to quickly load a smaller size image that
links to the original.

The third option is DAlbum, at http://www.dalbum.org/
-- this is the simplest solution, but DAlbum has been
around for years, and is a great application.

Cheers,

Bill

Re: Online photo storage

I'm a Flickr fan, too, and I created a private group for my school where
contributors can pool photos. Also, I really like the gallery feature in
iPhoto '08 which allows you to create a password protected photo space if
you have a .Mac account. People can view your photos in a slideshow,
download photos, and even contribute by adding pictures of their own.

Hope this helps,

Re: Online photo storage (UNCLASSIFIED)

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED=20
Caveats: NONE

www.smugmug.com has most of the flickr pro services for free and a Pro
version as well that allows greater customization. The interface is
pretty but sometimes the functionality is clunky.

www.flickr.com has a stripped down interface, but I find it pretty
intuitive. The Pro version is cheaper than smugmug.

coppermine-gallery.net
Is a great open-source product that can be a little tricky to set-up
initially, but the windows installer is pretty good. You can host it on
your LAN so, in theory it is faster, but it can be more complex if you
want to share galleries with parents and others.

www.apple.com/aperture/whatisaperture/
I don't think it meets all your needs but it is a pretty slick product
for professional image management and keeps you from having to open up
photoshop most of the time. I have only used it as a single user but it
saved me a lot of time.

Subject: Online photo storage

Hello all,

I would like to set up an online database of school photos that could be
accessed by 5 or 6 people who regularly utilize these photos for
publications, the web site, etc. These people are on two separate
campuses that do not share a quick network connection. This does not
need to be a fancy resource, just a good place to make these photos
accessible to everyone from one spot. I don't think that a single
external hard drive would work, given the two-campus system. Right now,
each of these people have some of the photos, and we'd like to have all
of the photos in one place. So, I'm looking for a resource that will
fit this bill:

- Available online
- Secure (accessed only by those with login/password)
- Can be filed with tags or keywords
- Easily searchable
- Photos are still available to be downloaded for a high-quality print
image


Can you please share your thoughts (pros, cons) on the following? Or,
do you have additional suggestions?

- Picasa
- Flickr
- Gallery2

Many thanks!

Re: Online photo storage

iView was acquired by Microsoft and has morphed into Microsoft
Expression Media. I don't believe it's geared towards a client/server
setup, like Portfolio, but instead better suited for individual
photographers to catalog and tweak their own photos.

I've used Gallery in the past and find it quite suitable for such a
project, although its tagging and keyword based smart album features are
immature at best.

I currently use Smugmug for my personal photo library and like it quite
a bit. I believe they have pro and organizational packages that might
fit your needs.

Re: Online photo storage

We have a server set-up in house that has a software package "Extensis Port=
folio 5.0" installed on it. From within the building we use the software t=
o catalog. The server also is set-up for FTP access so I browse through th=
e file folders at home. I'm not sure if Portfolio supports remote access.

Iview is a software recommended to me that I have not been able to
