Title: Connecting Libraries and Vendor Platforms: Have we \
advanced from the Black Box to Open Systems?
Time: Saturday, June 29, 2013 - 8:30am to 10:00am
Location: McCormick Place Convention Center S402a

"No technology product created for libraries can reasonably satisfy the needs of all \
libraries "out of the box." Rather, products provide a basic core of functionality \
designed to serve the general needs of libraries, with configuration options to set \
operational and cosmetic details for individual implementations. Many libraries, \
however, need to implement new functionality not delivered with the base product. \
Libraries might be able to press the developers of the products, developed under \
either proprietary or open source licenses, to create enhancements to the core system \
to meet these needs. A more sustainable model involves the use of application \
programming interfaces (API)s that allow library programmers to write code to extend \
the capabilities of the product, to enable interoperability with other applications, \
or to extract and manipulate data. Most of the major library management and discovery \
applications offer APIs that open up data and functionality to libraries and to third \
party developers.
This session aims to reveal the extent to which libraries can expect to extend \
products through exercising the APIs provided with their key technology products. I a \
dynamic debate format, the moderator will explore this topic with the chief \
technology or strategy officers of the major library vendors and with one or more \
library technologists involved in projects that rely on APIs.
Panel participants:
* Marshall Breeding, Library Technology Guides (Moderator)
* Jane Burke, Serials Solutions / ProQuest, Vice President, Strategic \
Initiatives
* Carmit Marcus, Director of Product Management, Ex Libris
* Brad Jung, VP Product Management, Innovative Interfaces
* Eric Graham, Lead Software Developer for 3rd Party Integration, Polaris \
Library Systems
* Ranny Lacanienta, Director of Product Management
* Robin Murray, OCLC Vice President, Global Product Management
Agenda:
8:30 - 8:40: Introductions of panelists and moderator.
8:40-9:00 (Marshall Breeding) Brief introduction to the topic to frame the panel \
discussion. Breeding will give a very brief definition of APIs and some of the \
relevant concepts, including service-oriented architecture. Other issues covered \
would include relying more on APIs than reprogramming application code to accomplish \
local customizations or functional needs; APIs to achieve interoperability among \
diverse systems in the library's environment, the enterprise infrastructure of its \
parent organization, and with peers and business partners. 9:00 - 9:345 Discussion \
based on questions from Moderator 9:45 - 10:00 Questions from participants
