Back in the Day

“If you use all your
research, you
haven't done
enough research.”
James I. Robertson

We’ll never use all this:

We already have
Great bibliography sites with APIs, like:
Connotea
LibraryThing
Zotero

http://www.connotea.org/wiki/WebAPI

We already have
Great content sites with APIs, like
Chronicling America

http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/about/api/

We need code and examples
for using these APIs

Improve blogs as an
mechanism for critical
reflection and discussion
on our research.
