Hi everyone,
I want to help people easily use web APIs to enhance their library websites
and/or research guides. So, I made a site that has copy/pasteable code
along with instructions on how to implement it (like what exactly to change
in the code to make it work with their libguides system, for example).
It's a project in ongoing development and I wanted to share it with you all
because:
* You're nifty
* Some (hopefully many!) of you might be interested in using some of
my code
* Some of you might be interested in contributing new pieces to the
site
Currently I have implementations for various Springshare products,
Quotes.net, and a variety of collections from the Internet Archive. I have
plans on making things for the New York Times, Wordnik, OCLC, and
Chronicling America (from LOC).
Would love to hear comments. I hope you like it.
