* Web Services & Widgets - Organizers: Godmar Back & Annette Bailey (Contact/Responsible person: Godmar Back (gback@cs.vt.edu) - a half day interactive workshop that explains how to create practical web services and widgets for libraries. The focus will be on creating web services for and integrating widgets into the services your library has already implemented and deployed (OPAC, Resolver, etc.). We will explain what is possible and how to do it, particularly for systems where librarians have limited or no control of the back-end. This workshop will be targeted at beginning-level programmers. Technologies covered will include advanced JavaScript/jQuery and JSON.
