With New Growth comes New Opportunities

You all know that I've been hard at work here at OCLC--pretty much since the day I arrived--to create the Developer Network site and make it useful, functional and helpful for you, the library development community. And helpful for anyone else who ventures over, like partners or non-technical librarians, who might need some information about APIs, widgets or what-have-you.

TAI CHI Webinar tomorrow on SEO for Institutional Repositories

Our OCLC Research colleagues host an amazing set of Webinars, called TAI CHI which has nothing to do with martial arts or yoga. Other than the fact that the webinars almost always stretch my brain in new directions and remind me how awesome it is to have such a thoughtful, lively community of thinkers around us. The next one coming up is tomorrow, check it out:

Introduction to OpenSocial Webinar next week

Now that we're all contemplating a new year, take some time to brush up on one of the technologies that powers the WorldShare Platform--OpenSocial. Used by many online sites such as Google, Drupal, eBay and others, now OpenSocial has found its way to libraries. SciVerse Developer Network also uses OpenSocial, and this Webinar will introduce you to the fundamentals.

New WorldCat.org traffic partner, Designers and Books

Welcome to the latest WorldCat.org traffic partner, Designers and Books. Their site is beautiful and simple in a way that only a site with designers in mind can be. It's fun to nose around and see what books famous designers have drawn influence from. And to think perhaps you can read the same thing! On the fancy new ereader you might have gotten over the holidays! (Full caveat: yes, I too have suffered from the delusion that if only I read everything Le Corbustier did, I would be as brilliant as he was. Right?)
