Re: [CODE4LIB] Local digitization and ingest into HathiTrust
Hi Kristina, We're interested in setting up a local digitization workflow for submitting to HathiTrust, too, so count me interested as well. We're still at the analysis stage, though.

Re: [CODE4LIB] API to retrieve scholarly publications by author
Microsoft Academic Search leans heavily toward scholarly publications in Computer Science, FYI. Great for that topic, though. Amanda L.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Protagonists
What you *did* need for this interesting project was Small Demons, which was a for-profit company that was creating linked data from books -- here's an article about it: http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/1/4043298/building-an-atlas-for-books-with-small-demons But it shut down in 2013, and I have no idea what happened to the data. It might all have been commercial and proprietary, anyway.

Re: [CODE4LIB] LOC Subject Headings API
Hi Josh, You might ask on the Omeka developers' list about how the Omeka development team created their LC Suggest plugin -- they could probably give you tips. Here's the listserv: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/omeka-dev and here's a description of the plugin: http://omeka.org/codex/Plugins/Library_of_Congress_Suggest Amanda Amanda L.

Does anyone know of any web service that allows for automated harvesting of LOC Subject Headings? I am also looking for name authorities, for that matter. Any format will be acceptable to me: RDF, XML, JSON, HTML, CSV... I have spent a while Googling with no luck, but this seems like the sort of general-purpose thing that a lot of people would be interested in. I feel like I must be missing something.
