Scriblio allows libraries to power their catalogs using WordPress by connecting WordPress to existing library data systems. It uses WordPress' extensibility through plugins to display library records as blog posts, taking advantage of WordPress' social features and metadata handling while freeing up awkwardly coded legacy library data. The presentation demonstrates how Scriblio's schema and connector plugins integrate a library's external data system with WordPress.

Awkwardly coded,
But rich with metadata
We have lots of it
It’s screaming to escape

5. Stupid Idea:
Blog post ≍ Catalog record
