Re: [CODE4LIB] Google books js api, oclc/lccn, any problems?
Hmm, records in our catalogue, lacking an ISBN still have the Google Books link. I checked some books form the 1920's.

Anyone else noticed any problems with the GBS javascript api? It seems to have stopped returning hits for me for LCCN or OCLCnum, where it used to work. Seems to work now only for ISBN. Here's a URL call that used to return hits, and now doesn't: http://books.google.com/books?jscmd=viewapicallback=gbscallbackbibkeys =OCLC%3A2416076%2CLCCN%3A34025476 Jonathan --- Jonathan Rochkind Digital Services Software Engineer The Sheridan Libraries Johns Hopkins University 410.516.8886 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[CODE4LIB] registry of databases
Despite my best efforts to save things to delicious that catch my eye, I can't seem to find an item that I know I read in the past two weeks. Someone mentioned an effort to create a registry of databases in which you could see what libraries had subscribed to which database. Is there such a project or is this a figment of my fevered imagination? I know I'm not thinking of how some libraries include databases in their catalogs, which then gets passed on to WorldCat if the library is an OCLC member. What I recall reading, though, may have made some reference to the WorldCat Registry (http://www.worldcat.org/registry/Institutions). Any help here?

[CODE4LIB] WorldCat Hackathon still has room
We have a great group of people signed up to attend the two-day WorldCat Hackathon in New York City on November 7-8, but we still have room for more. The event is being co-hosted by OCLC and NYPL Labs, and is focused on using Web services and library-related APIs. You'll hear about the growing set of APIs from OCLC, and you'll also receive a list of other APIs you may find useful to create innovative mash-ups or integrate with existing library systems. We will form affinity groups that can work collaboratively over the two days in a convenient setting at the Science, Industry, and Business Library in Manhattan. There is a $30 fee for the two-day event, and breakfast, lunch and a t-shirt are provided. Register now from the Web site: http://worldcat.org/devnet/wiki/2008NYCHackathon We hope to see you there! Roy
