It will take a URL for a webpage with multiple Google Docs linked on it and downloads each to a selected directory on your computer. This can be used to download multiple files at at time that will be used for data parsing or processing on your desktop. Instructions for how to use and install this software are provided on the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/EOULib\/google_doc_downloader\/graphs\/traffic\">Google Doc Downloader GitHub repo page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open Library ISBN Parser (GitHub Repo)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Open Library ISBN Parser has a graphical user interface that can be installed on your computer. This software takes a CSV file listing ISBNs and then exports a new CSV with user selected columns pertaining to various datapoints in regard to each ISBN.  This can speed up inventory processing by scanning ISBNs into a CSV and running it through the software to populate the data points needed for your inventory.  Data points that can be selected include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Author<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publisher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Year Published<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Binding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LC Subject Headings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dewey Call Number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LC Call Number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of Pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OCLC Numbers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many copies are owned at a specific OCLC member library (Requires OCLC Membership, Worldcat Search API Credentials, and to have Enable OCLC API to Check Local Holdings checked in the Optional Configurations section)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of these datapoints are pulled from Open Library Data. Users can opt to include Google Books or OCLC as backups. To use OCLC data you need to be an OCLC member, but Open Library data is freely available without any memberships and is quite good. Instructions for how to use and install this software are provided in the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/EOULib\/open_library_isbn_parser\">Open Library ISBN GitHub repo<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primo NDE Show\/Hide Labels Bookmarklet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Primo NDE Show\/Hide Labels Bookmarklet can be used to toggle label code names used in NDE on and off.  Use it on any Primo NDE page to find the code for labels you want to customize in the Labels found in Alma Discovery Display Configuration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Install:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quick and easy method is to hold a left click on this <a href=\"javascript:(function(){const url=new URL(window.location.href);const labelsEnabled=url.searchParams.get('debugLabels')==='true';url.searchParams.set('debugLabels',labelsEnabled ? 'false':'true');window.location.href=url.toString();})();\n\">Show\/Hide NDE Labels<\/a> link, drag it to your bookmarks bar and release the left click to drop the bookmarklet there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other method is to open your browser&#8217;s Bookmark manager and add a new bookmark.  You can name it anything you want, but for the URL you&#8217;ll want to copy\/paste the following code into the URL box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>javascript:(function(){const url=new URL(window.location.href);const labelsEnabled=url.searchParams.get('debugLabels')==='true';url.searchParams.set('debugLabels',labelsEnabled ? 'false':'true');window.location.href=url.toString();})();\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once installed, navigate to any Primo NDE page and click on the bookmarklet to display what code is used for all labels on that page.  With that information you can find the right label in Alma Discovery to customize.  You can toggle the code display off by clicking on the bookmarklet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Doc Bulk Downloader (GitHub Repo) The Google Doc Bulk Downloader has a graphical user interface that can be installed on your computer.
