Hey Jason! I always think that Brown's FreeCite api is under utilized. http://freecite.library.brown.edu/ It's far from perfect, but I'm sure more use could be made of it. A few months back I threw together a copy/paste citation look-up with it: CiteBox http://willkurt.github.com/CiteBox/ Of course I don't think anyone is really making use of it, but I've also done nothing to really promote it either ;) Good luck with the book! --Will On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Michel, Jason Paul <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm a lurker on this listserv and am interested in gaining some insight into your experiences of utilizing web service APIs in either an academic library or public library setting. > > I'm writing a book for ALA Editions on the use of Web Service APIs in libraries.
