Reviews huh? That's interestingŠ. How are you utilizing the Twitter API? We're using it as an outage reporting interface. If a printer is down for whatever reason, a staff member Tweets specific hashtags regarding the broken machine, this tweet gets received by our printer vendor, they fix it, tweet that its been fixed. There's also a basic dashboard which displays the current status of printers that staff can quickly see at a glanceŠ http://www.lib.muohio.edu/mom_printer_status Jason On 10/10/11 1:06 PM, "Joshua Welker" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >Michael, > >I am in the process of adding book descriptions, reviews, and jacket >images to our III WebPAC using the Google Books API.
