Access MARC data describing an item in the SLV catalogue - GLAM Workbench If you have an item's Alma identifier, you can retrieve structured metadata describing the item from the SLV catalogue in a couple of ways. One approach is to download a text representation of the item's MARC record and extract data from it. This notebook provides some examples of how you can do this.

Still documenting things from my SLV residency. I'm adding a few general tools & techniques to the GLAM Workbench, for example, here's a notebook about getting structured data from the SLV catalogue via an item's MARC record. https://glam-workbench.net/state-library-victoria/get_marc_data/

I saw a post the other day that noted that one of the notable things about genAI content is that the only person ever interested in the output is the one who asked for it. No one else wants to read AI books or look at AI 'art' in preference to the human-made alternative.

I am trying to be a “gym girlie”, in that I do like 3 brief exercises, stretch, and then leave.

Alt text always depends on context. Imagine an icon of a computer printer. It could be used on a page of free icons. It could be on a school's computer lab site.

Screenshot of a paragraph about state library job cuts: "Three of the library’s five-member executive team who proposed the changes have been recently appointed and are in acting roles, including CEO John Wicks and head of collections Roxanne Missingham.

Wendy Carlos on the BBC in 1970 Wendy Carlos demonstrates how a Moog synthesizer works.
