## Deployment
The website for this project uses [git-webhooks](https://git.suboptimal.solutions/hugh/git-webhooks) with a customisation to run the `process.js` file that is found in this repository on each pull. The file is stored with the webhooks files so that everything can be `npm install`ed together.
This `process.js` file syncs any changes from the csv files into the topojson attributes (e.g. when a library changes their ILS).
## Updating the topojson
### Update boundaries
* make a copy of `/public_library_map/boundaries.geo.json`
* update in `qgis`
* save the copied file
### Simplify to reduce the file size
#### Option 1
* upload to https://mapshaper.org/ and 'simplify' the boundaries
To contribute to the map data you can contact Hugh at librarymap [at] hugh.run. If necessary, I will add an account for you on `git.suboptimal.solutions` if you want to contribute to the code.
<p>I’d love your help to make <em>Library Map</em> as accurate and useful as possible.</p>

<p>There is a class outline for an <ahref="https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-git/">introduction to Git and GitHub aimed at librarians</a> at <code>librarycarpentry.org</code>. This assumes you are using the command line. If you create or already have a GitHub account, you can also <ahref="https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/editing-files-in-another-users-repository">edit files directly in the browser</a>, or use <ahref="https://desktop.github.com/">GitHub Desktop</a> - both of which are probably less intimidating options if you don’t have any desire to learn how to use a command line/shell interface, or just want to make a single minor update.</p>

<h3id="missing-or-inaccurate-data">Missing or inaccurate data</h3>
<p>Currently we’re missing data for some library services in relation to <strong>standard loan periods</strong> and <strong>fines for overdue items</strong>. Any acurate and specific information about fines for South and Western Australia would be particularly helpful.</p>
<p>It’s likely that some <strong>library location data</strong> is inaccurate — especially for New South Wales. It’s also possible that the address data is wrong (even though the location shown may be correct), and in some cases it is missing.</p>
<p>It’s possible that some of the <strong>fines data for Queensland</strong> is a little off. This came from the State Library of Queensland but some of the data was wrong (e.g.Gold Coast Libraries does not charge overdue fines, but the SLQ report says it does).</p>

<p>I am particularly interested if you know of data sources for entire regions, states, or Australia — especially if they’re reliably kept up to date.</p>
<p>If you can fill in any of these blanks, please update the relevant CSV file and send a pull request. If your data is coming from somewhere in particular, you should also add that to <code>sources.md</code> in the relevant table.</p>
