library open source software
Any open-source object layout and connection libraries?
I’m looking for an open-source software library or plugin that provides an interface similar to Visio, Umbrello, Dia, Inkscape, Xilinx ISE, etc. which allows the creation of objects and connections by users, which can then be analyzed by the caller program. Ideally this would be a cross-platform library, but it needs to work on Linux.
An interesting layout/flowchart creation program that I use is called Graphviz. It is FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software), and though it is not quite efficient (giving me some weird loops in the arrows connecting different nodes), it is impressive and the website contains several beautiful images whose creation was actually a stress test for the Graphviz engine. Quite artistic and at the same time functional.
An example of dot file (the file format that gets interpreted and rendered into a flowchart):
/*CalcV1*/
digraph CalcV1{
//Nodes
Début [label="Commencer"];
Init [shape=rectangle, label="Init vbles"];
Inputnum [shape=parallelogram, label="JOP.sID(\"Entrez un nombre\")"];
Doubleconv [shape=rectangle, label="Double.parseDouble() n1"];
Inputop [shape=parallelogram, label="JOP.sOD(\"Choisissez une opération\")"];
Inputnum2 [shape=parallelogram, label="JOP.sID(\"Entrez un autre nombre\")"];
Doubleconv2 [shape=rectangle, label="Double.parseDouble() n2"];
Switchop [shape=diamond, label="switch(op)"];
Division [shape=rectangle, label="n1/n2"];
Multiplication [shape=rectangle, label="n1*n2"];
Addition [shape=rectangle, label="n1+n2"];
Soustraction [shape=rectangle, label="n1-n2"];
Modulo [shape=rectangle, label="(int)(n1)%((int)(n2)"];
Display [shape=parallelogram, height=0.5, width=1, label="JOP.sCD(\"Le résultat est \"+Résultat+\"\\n\nVoulez-vous continuer?\")"];
Continuer [shape=diamond, height=1, width=0.5, label="while(continuer==true){\n/*Répète*/}else{/*Quit*/}"];
Fin;

library science programs
What is “Library Science” called in college?
I am interested in being a librarian, but in looking through the information from universities, there is no “librarian” degree program. Is it a “media specialist”?
It’s called library science (MLS) and it’s a masters program. You can get a bachelors degree in anything – history, English, art, even science – and then go to library school.

library database software
DOTNUTSHELL Technologies are an experienced database designing company, with Oracle accredicated qualification providing services both in the OpenSource and Enterprise field.
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system. Its primary query language is Transact-SQL, an implementation of the ANSI/ISO standard Structured Query Language (SQL) used by both Microsoft and Sybase.
Microsoft SQL Server uses a variant of SQL called T-SQL, or Transact-SQL, an implementation of SQL-92. T-SQL mainly adds additional syntax for use in stored procedures, and affects the syntax of transaction support.
SQL Server includes support for database mirroring and clustering. A SQL server cluster is a collection of identically configured servers, which help distribute the workload among multiple servers. All the servers share an identical virtual server name, and it is resolved into the IP address of any of the identically configured machines by the clustering runtime. Automatic failover clustering is also available, in which the workload of a server is transferred to another system in the event of a system failure.SQL server also supports data partitioning for distributed databases. Database mirroring, introduced in SQL Server 2005, allows creation of mirrors (or replicas) of database contents, along with transaction logs, on another instance of SQL Server, based on certain predefined triggers.
Microsoft and other vendors provide a number of software development tools designed to allow business applications to be developed using the data stored by Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 now includes the common language runtime (CLR) component for Microsoft .NET. Applications developed with .NET languages such as VB.NET or C# can implement stored procedures and other functions. Older versions of Microsoft development tools typically use APIs to access Microsoft SQL Server functionality.

Oracle Database is a relational database management system released by Oracle Corporation. Oracle Database has become a major feature of database computing.
An Oracle database system comprises at least one instance of the application, along with data storage. An instance comprises a set of operating-system processes and memory-structures that interact with the storage. Typical processes include PMON (the process monitor) and SMON (the system monitor).
Users of Oracle databases refer to the server-side memory-structure as the SGA (System Global Area). The SGA typically holds cache information such as data-buffers, SQL commands and user information. In addition to storage, the database consists of online redo logs (which hold transactional history). Processes can in turn archive the online redo logs into archive logs (offline redo logs), which provide the basis (if necessary) for data recovery and for some forms of data replication.
The Oracle RDBMS stores data logically in the form of tablespaces and physically in the form of data files. Tablespaces can contain various types of memory segments; for example, Data Segments, Index Segments etc. Segments in turn comprise one or more extents. Extents comprise groups of contiguous data blocks. Data blocks form the basic units of data storage. At the physical level, data-files comprise one or more data blocks, where the block size can vary between data-files.
Oracle databases can be used to create distributed database running over contiguous or disparate logistical locations. It can be used to store data and information and provides high availably and performance and is used extensively as a practial and reliable database.

We also have experience in database persistence and create custom persistence frameworks and algorythms which can be used to predict patterns and trends from your data.
MySQL is a multithreaded, multi-user SQL database management system which has, according to MySQL AB, more than 10 million installations. The basic program runs as a server providing multiuser access to a number of databases.
Libraries for accessing MySQL databases are available in all major programming languages with language-specific APIs. In addition, an ODBC interface called MyODBC allows additional programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database, such as ASP or ColdFusion. The MySQL server and official libraries are mostly implemented in ANSI C/ANSI C++.
MySQL is popular for web applications and acts as the database component of the
LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python)
MAMP (Mac-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python)
WAMP (Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python)
Its popularity for use with web application is closely tied to the popularity of PHP, which is often combined with MySQL. PHP and MySQL are essential components for running popular content management systems such as WordPress and Drupal blogging platforms. Wikipedia runs on MediaWiki software, which can also use PHP and a MySQL database.
MySQL is the most widely used OpenSource SQL database in the world. It provides features and services which make it ideal for small to medium enterprises to effectively manage small to reasonably large business data. It is also fulyl compliant with the SQL standard and provides support for stored procedures and object abstraction when coupled with object persistence frameworks.

library binding service
Help! I need ideas!?
I work at a book distributor and call libraries and try to get them to purchase their books from us. I have a speech I say when i call but I don’t like it and would like to reword it because it sounds so “sales-pitchy” if you know what I mean. It goes like…
“We would love the opportunity to help with your book ordering needs (I was also told I’m not suppose to say love). We offer services such as free shipping, paperback binding, full processing, duplicate order alert, and standing order service just to name a few. And with over 70 thousand publishing sources we can track down any book you request. Are there any books you’ve been looking for lately I could help find for you?”
Help me think of another sales pitch, or other ways to say what I’m saying, please! I’m so not good at this!
I wrote the above speech. It’s not the company’s speech. Sorry for the confusion.
I’m not a sales expert, nor I have any experience in the field, but I enjoy a good challenge, and you’ve just presented one.
I’ll give you a few pointers (and explain the whys — it’s important). But first, I would highlight two problems you actually spotted yourself:
1a) PROBLEM: The reason why you don’t like the speech and seems so awkward to you is because it doesn’t represent you; words model thoughts, reflect a part of our personality, but those words mean nothing to you — they don’t belong to you (that speech is probably a standard approach, a clichee used company-wide). YOU DO NOT FIND YOUR OWN THOUGHTS IN THIS SPEECH ! This is dangerous; it may become irritating of boring to have to reproduce it over and over again, like a broken record, and that feeling somehow gets transmitted to your potential client, hurting your chances for success (the client will think subconsciously that someone so bored by the thing they’re doing cannot be a great choice for a business opportunity).
1b) SOLUTION: The solution is very simple: YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN SPEECH, ONE THAT ACTUALLY REFLECTS YOURSELF. That’s why I didn’t put one for you; there would have been MY thinking into it, not YOURS, and you would have had the same problem with the first one.
2a) PROBLEM: Whoever told you NOT to use the word ‘love’ was right, and I’ll tell you why. This is just like a romantic relationship: you don’t say “I love you” right from the start, because you risk rising the suspicion of your partner, or even scaring him off — The beginning is a very difficult time; it’s a probing and accomodation period. If you do so, you’ll be labeled as a ‘needy’, unreliable person. ‘Needy’ companies, as well as needy people, are to be avoided.
2b) SOLUTION: Simply use other words instead; ‘like’ for example is a fairly neutral word — “I would like to help you”; you could use also ‘enjoy’, but it’s a bit stretchy and should be used for closing statements — “I enjoyed making the presentation / presenting this opportunity for you”, “I enjoyed talking to you”.
And now for the pointers:
1) Be POLITE: This approach ALWAYS pays off (and is not by far limited to business dealings). Maintain this attitude throughout the speech, but don’t overdo it — show just the right amount of respect, without praising.
2) Be FRESH: The best time to make such phone calls is in the morning, so try to make as much as possible during that time of the day; people are rested, calm and more receptive.
3) Keep it SHORT: You don’t need to relay telephonically the entire offer, just the strong points; The client would like to know why should he choose you over others.
4) Make it a DIALOGUE, not a monologue: Interactivity is better than a passive response. Get your potential clients to ask questions, to talk about their needs, in one word to PARTICIPATE. Making them to actively take part in the conversation is of tremendous help to you: they will not get bored or annoyed listening to someone who keeps yapping about God knows what, plus you’ll get some information on their specific needs. “What do you need?” “Do you want to know more about this option?”
5) Introduce YOURSELF, then the COMPANY: this way you relay a very important message (“Let ME tell you what WE offer”) and move the conversation to a more personal plane. People generally relate much better to a person, rather than a large entity such as a company. “It is OUR Company that makes the services, but you are dealing with ME”
6) DO NOT OFFER YOURSELF TO DO A JOB FOR FREE !!! (as you give the impression at the end of that speech): Remember it’s all about a business proposition; You do not work for charity, nor do you audition for a take. If a client would like a trial, he still have to pay the price of your services; if he’s not satisfied, then he can go look for another partner.
7) Be CREATIVE and PRACTICE ! (the most important): There’s NOTHING I (or anyone else) could say to magically turn you into a sales ace over night. You’ll just have to come up with new types of approaches and practice over and over again until you find what works best for you !…
That’s all ! Good luck to you !
Whoops, I forgot … One more thing, equally important; you are bound to encounter in your dealings difficult people or situations. And let me tell you this: in this game, failure IS an option. So, you will innevitably FAIL (if you haven’t already done that a number of times by now). Don’t bother yourself too much with that and DON’T LET IT AFFECT YOU !!! As I see it, failures have a very well defined role: they are excellent teachers. In each failure you’ll have, there’s something to learn, so keep an open mind and be observant to carve it out. My motto on the matter would be: “I would gladly accept a slap on the wrist today, than a bang on the head tomorrow”…
