*Utilizing social media to crowdsource your collection building.
*How to post-process, OCR, PDF, and ePub your documents using Free software.
*Ways to build out a digital repository with no servers, code, or large 2-year grants required. (ok, maybe some code). == IIIF: One Image Delivery API to Rule Them All == * Willy Mene, Stanford University Libraries, wmene AT stanford DOT edu* Stuart Snydman, Stanford University Libraries, snydman AT stanford DOT edu The International Image Interoperability Framework was conceived of by a group of research and national libraries determined to achieve the holy grail of seamless sharing and reuse of images in digital image repositories and applications. By converging on common API’s for image delivery, metadata transmission and search, it is catalyzing the development of a new wave of interoperable image delivery software that will surpass the current crop of image viewers, page turners, and navigation systems, and in so doing give scholars an unprecedented level of consistent and rich access to image-based resources across participating repositories. The IIIF Image API (http://library.stanford.edu/iiif/image-api) specifies a web service that returns an image in response to a standard http or https request. The URL can specify the region, size, rotation, quality characteristics and format of the requested image. A URL can also be constructed to request basic technical information about the image to support client applications. The API could be adopted by any image repository or service, and can be used to retrieve static images in response to a properly constructed URL. In this presentation we will review version 1 of the IIIF image api and validator, demonstrate applications by daring early adopters, and encourage widespread adoption.
