Hi Eric,
I hope you're doing well! I have a couple of questions that I was hoping
you could help with:

>
   1. Could you let me know how I can get access to the code4Lib Slack
   channel?
   2. I really appreciate your suggestions—they’re a great starting point
   for an introduction to both library science and computer science. I’d like
   to add that my library is currently collaborating with a computer science
   department, which I think is relevant to this discussion.

We’re a small team of four, all of us with library science degrees and a
solid understanding of technology. However, we’re not as familiar with some
of the more advanced tech integrations. To address this, we’re working
closely with the computer science department to help us automate our SUSHI
data and make better use of APIs for our website. We’re really aiming to
learn the process ourselves rather than rely on the department to create a
product for us that we wouldn’t be able to maintain or modify in-house.
With that in mind, I was wondering if you could recommend any resources or
links related to some of the topics you mentioned, particularly the OAI-PMH
protocols. I’m familiar with the DOAJ, but the OAI-PMH protocols are new to
me.

Thanks so much for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
Valerie Darling
