Follow along as we leverage Solr 4 as a No-SQL database, along with more progressive RESTful API techniques, to release Reserves data into the wild without interfering with reserves request processing -- and, in the process, open up the opportunity for other schools to feed their data in as well.
== We Are All Disabled! Universal Web Design Making Web Services Accessible for Everyone ==
* Cynthia Ng, CILS at Langara College
** No previous Code4Lib presentations (not counting lightning talks)
We’re building and improving tools and services all the time, but do you only develop for the “average” user or add things for “disabled” users? We all use “assistive” technology accessing information in a multitude of ways with different platforms, devices, etc. Let’s focus on providing web services that are accessible to everyone without it being onerous or ugly. The aim is to get you thinking about what you can do to make web-based services more accessible for all from the beginning, hopefully making use of universal web design, or with small amounts of effort whether you're a developer or not.
