Re: .htaccess help?

DirectoryIndex has nothing to do with password protection. Your line is 
merely telling Apache that unless otherwise specified, the server should 
load index.php when people go to that folder.

If you specify index.php explicitly in the browser does it work? (sounds 
like it does from your description)

Try putting 'Deny All' as the first line in this file. If you get a 
'permission denied' error, then Apache is reading the .htaccess file 
properly. If not, you may have a permissions issue with the .htaccess 
file. You can configure the server to ignore these files too, so that's 
a possibility, although be default this would not be the case.

If the Deny All works, erase all the lines in the file, and put in:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "a description of the area"
AuthUserFile /the/path/to/the/password/file
require valid-user

Replacing the 2nd and 3rd lines with the appropriate information. 
Worst-case, this should at least pop up a window asking for user/pw. 
You'll need to learn how to create a password file too, which Thomas 
provided a good link to below.

I hope that helps.

Re: Can a DOI identify a web site?

It's important to understand the intent of a permanent identifier, such 
as a DOI.  The identifier is intended to be a permanent surrogate and 
pointer to a resource that may have many volatile aspects--generally the 
physical location is presumed to be volatile, and thus the identifier 
points to metadata in a directory that "resolves" to the current 
location of the resource. That metadata can also provide provenance 
information, indicate what has changed about the resource, etc. It is 
expected that the identifier will be globally unique and so durable that 
it can outlast the resource, and then ideally point to historical 
metadata about the defunct resource.

 Different identifier systems offer different strategies.  DOI uses the 
<indecs>rdd metadata data dictionary and the ontologyX data model to 
provide a reference metadata implementation within the identifier 
directory database.  DOI requires that support for a core metadata 
implementation and encourages DOI users to also map their metadata to 
the DOI metadata schema.  For other identifier systems, which don't 
include a rich metadata strategy but generally just resolution to the 
current physical location of the resource, you might want to assign the 
identifier to a package that bundles the metadata, structure map and 
resource.  Since we use METS, which encapsulates the resource into the 
metadata, we assign our handle to the METS document (metadata, structure 
map, resource datastreams, and behaviors.  Other systems that provide 
this packaging or bundling include MPEG-21 and MXF.

Light at the end of the DRM tunnel?

Hi folks,

Just saw this and thought I would pass it along:

Apple Unveils Higher Quality DRM-Free Music on the iTunes Store
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/04/02itunes.html

(Don't mind the marketing speak...)
EMI's the first major label to offer DRM-Free music. Hopefully this  
is the first step towards a DRM-free world.

Was a little cautious embracing this news because of the proximity to

Problem with CSS?

I am new in my position as Access Services Librarian at
Jefferson College, a community college in Hillsboro, MO. 
One of my projects is to find out why the library part of
the webpage won't display properly in browsers besides IE. 
We have a webmaster and the various departments use Joomla
to modify our individual pages.  So far I am comparing the
main Jeffco site at http://www.jeffco.edu with the library
page at http://www.jeffco.edu/library and for some reason,
the gray buttons under the image will not show up in
Firefox(on PC or Mac) or on Safari.  I see there is a script
that is on the library page but not on the jeffco main page.
 Removing it did not solve the problem.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Re: Problem with CSS?

Hi Lisa,
I don't know if anyone else on the list has already replied, but a 
quick solution would be for you to change the link to the style sheet 
from the library's:
http://www.jeffco.edu/library/templates/tc_jefferson/css/template_css.css

to the main one: 
http://www.jeffco.edu/jeffco/templates/tc_jefferson/css/template_css.css

I'm not 100% sure why IE is rendering the page correctly (my guess is 
there is an error somewhere but IE is compensating for it somehow), 
but I've tested making this switch on my machine and it worked so 
this should be the easiest solution to the problem. Plus any pages 
the college makes to the main page CSS will automatically be made to 
the library page (which could be good or bad depending on who you're 
looking at it.)

Let me know if this works.

There's several errors in library's site stylesheet:
Line 31 - delete the coma after the "tr" selector.
Line  72  -  add  an  unit  to  "padding" property. Only 0 can be left
without an unit.
Lines  281  and  938 - you missed the closing "}" in table.contentarea
and p.right selectors.

Fix it and see what happens. If there are still problems, we'll try to
figure out what to do next.

Always  remember  to  validate  your  stylesheets to see if there's no
typos or other errors. Try w3.org CSS validator:
