Propose a new electronic resource for the Mina Rees Library:


Propose a new electronic resource for the Mina Rees Library:Propose a new electronic resource for the Mina Rees Library:All proposals for new electronic resources (databases and other electronic subscriptions) are due to the Collections Committee through our online form by November 29 . If possible, trial subscriptions will be set up between December and April. Each proposal will be reviewed and voted on by the Collections Committee in April of each year. Approved items will be activated during the following fiscal year (most likely activated in the following fall semester or the January following the prior April approval). See the annual process for more detail. Due to the variance in cost, annual deadlines for spending and setting up subscriptions, and the technical processes for access and cataloging resources in our library tools, requests for databases and other electronic resources must undergo our annual proposal process to be added to our collections. Proposals are only accepted from members of the Graduate Center community, with priority given to current students and faculty.


Need something quicker than we can acquire it?:
Try Interlibrary Loan!: Interlibrary Loan is often the fastest way to get materials from outside the Graduate Center Library's collections.

Citing Digital Sources: Keep in Mind:


Citing Digital Sources: Keep in Mind:Citing Digital Sources: Keep in Mind:Digital-specific citation overview Digital material is often not in a fixed format. When that's the case, it is important to indicate not only where and how you found the material but when you found it. Only by clearly indicating when in a digital document’s life you accessed it can you protect yourself, and your scholarship, from the possibility that your evidence might be altered after you use it. The MLA’s 8th edition no longer requires a date of access as a core element for every electronic source, and indeed, many web sources publish in a fixed format with a firm copyright/publication date. In these cases a single publication date will be enough, as long as you are dealing with a trustworthy content producer. For source material with a high chance of deletion or editing – for instance, Twitter posts or blog comments – it is a good idea not only to indicate the date of access but also to keep a copy of the item if at all possible.

Identifying the format of an electronic resource can be crucial. If an article is available both on a web page in HTML and as a PDF, the two versions can look very different. The same piece can have entirely different pagination when viewed on screens of varying sizes. Similarly, identifying the source of a digital resource without indicating its format can be misleading; to note that a quote appeared on Twitter, for instance, does not let the reader know whether the original was a tweet, a comment, or a Twitter story, and leaves obscure the question of medium (since a user can tweet text, images, videos, links, and so on). This electronic-source checklist will help make sure you have all of the information necessary for citing a digital source. Not all citation formats will require every one of these pieces of information, but it is worth collecting all of the data you can. A record locator is essential.

Date of access is extremely important for any source that is easily changed: an individual’s blog, a Wikipedia page, a tweet or other social media post, a comment on a published source. Record the time posted in contexts where there are or could be multiple posts from a single author (tweets, blog comments, etc.). Identify the type of media – for instance, video, audio, image, GIF, tweet, Instagram story – if there is any possibility of ambiguity. If the item cited is a comment or reply, cite the original post as a container . If the author is not identifiable, or ID’d only by an account identifier, it’s fine to use a handle or username if one exists; in MLA and Chicago styles, if you have both real name and username, provide both.

The chief difference between citing traditionally-published sources and digital sources is that digital material is often not in a fixed format . When that's the case, it is important to indicate not only where and how you found the material but when you found it. Only by clearly indicating when in a digital document’s life you accessed it can you protect yourself, and your scholarship, from the possibility that your evidence might be altered after you use it. The MLA’s 8th edition no longer requires a date of access as a core element for every electronic source, and indeed, many web sources publish in a fixed format with a firm copyright/publication date.

Unlike printed material, digital sources can and do change, and therefore citation of such sources must incorporate information that has never previously been necessary. The major citation manuals already have citation styles for many common digital sources. As social media platforms and communication apps expand and multiply, however, the information about them becomes more complicated and their citation can require some improvisation. The following notes offer a bare-bones format for each citation style; more specific information will probably be needed to build a complete citation.

The simplest may be to take a screenshot of the item. This is easy for something like a tweet or an Instagram post, where the content is no bigger than your screen. Saving an entire webpage—one for which you would need to scroll down for all the content—is a little more complicated, but there are several options. (The specific sites and applications are meant as examples; we don't endorse or guarantee any of these.) You can use an application to save the full page as a PNG as if you were taking a screenshot. One such application is Paparazzi. There are also online services that do essentially the same thing without requiring the download of an application file. Browse to the web page you would like to convert. Highlight the URL, and then use Ctrl+C (Command-C on Mac) to copy it to the clipboard. Open a site such as www.printfriendly.com or web-capture.net .


Highlight the URL, and then use Ctrl+C (Command-C on Mac) to copy it to the clipboard. Open a site such as www.printfriendly.com or web-capture.net .

Highlight the URL, and then use Ctrl+C (Command-C on Mac) to copy it to the clipboard. Open a site such as www.printfriendly.com or web-capture.net .Paste the URL (Ctrl-V or Command-V) into either of the services to save the file as a picture or a PDF. Many browsers will allow you to save the page as a PDF. Print the webpage (Ctrl-P on PC, Command-P on Mac), and in the dialog box, select “Save as PDF” rather than sending it to a printer. You do need to check the output on this method, as not all browsers will process HTML into an accurate representation of the page this way, and you also may find that the browser processes only the currently selected frame rather than the full page. You can create a public archive of the page via the Internet Archive ( www.archive.org ). Enter the URL to see if the page has already been saved by the Internet Archive. If not, you can have it saved: click “Save this URL in the Wayback Machine,” and then, on the page that appears, click “SAVE PAGE.” You can also create your own web-based archive of web pages at archive-it.org . Yet another option is to create a permalink at perma.cc .

You ought therefore to cite not only the painting but also the article where the image of it appeared. Here, in this complex example, we begin to have to create citation styles from the guidelines that the formats provide. You'll need to include the identifying information of the original painting and of the article and the journal in which it was published.

Deleted/Ephemeral Sources:


Deleted/Ephemeral Sources:Deleted/Ephemeral Sources:This can be a murky subject. The fact that material has been removed from its electronic home might indicate that its original creator no longer supports it -- that the information in question is no longer valid. However, many documents on the Web are lost simply because a domain expires or because site reorganization breaks a link. Unless the original author posts an explanation or retraction, it is usually not possible to know whether an item was taken down purposefully or has simply become unfindable through neglect or error. If you have kept a copy, you can cite your source in roughly the same way you would cite a personal communication or an item from a personal collection. This citation need only occur in-text or as a footnote/endnote, not in the works cited or bibliography section. Jordan complained in his since-deleted Instagram post, "The fact that hundreds of ppl are calling my comment homophobic ... you are so off the mark" (archived material, 2017).


since-deleted Instagram post, "The fact that hundreds of ppl are calling my comment homophobic ... you are so off the mark" (archived material, 2017).Some digital material is created with an intentionally short life, intended to be viewable only briefly. Snapchat is perhaps the most well-known example; Instagram stories work in much the same way. Other digital material is in a state of constant flux. Search results, including the number and content of hits, and indexes of digital publications also change day to day, or even hour to hour. For this kind of material, therefore, it is not only a good idea but an imperative to keep a copy if you intend to use it as a source. As with deleted sources, if you maintain a copy, you can cite it as you would a personal communication or collection.


Blog Posts:
Blogs, a relatively early form of internet publication, have been covered fairly completely by the major style guides. See the following references: APA Chicago MLA (via Purdue OWL), under the heading A Listserv, Discussion Group, or Blog Posting


The most important point to remember in citing a comment, whether it is on an article on a newspaper's website, a blog post, a tweet, or any other, is that the original item should be cited as a container. As an example, here is how to cite this comment on a New York Times article, "The Real College Scandal": "When we're willing to fund community colleges and their students at the same levels we fund other higher education institutions, we'll start solving the community college completion problem." APA Use Re: to indicate the container post or article, and add [Container type comment] in brackets to identify the format. Use the URL of the comment if possible. elsiejay (2019, April 26).

Sources Without Fixed Page Numbers:


Sources Without Fixed Page Numbers:Sources Without Fixed Page Numbers:Often a digital source will reflow and present different pagination depending on the dimensions and resolution of the screen it's being viewed on, or the size of the text. Some documents will paginate differently when opened with different software. Some born-digital sources will not have pagination indicated at all. It is still important to be able to indicate exactly where in a document a quote or cited concept occurs. The Chicago Manual of Style provides useful guidance on this topic, in " 14.160 : Page or location numbers in electronic formats." CMOS suggests citing chapter numbers and/or section headings to get close to the specific point referenced. APA goes a step beyond Chicago, encouraging us to locate exact paragraphs for notes. (See the section titled "Sources Without Page Numbers" in "In-Text Citations: Author/Authors" at Purdue OWL, or pp.

(See the section titled "Sources Without Page Numbers" in "In-Text Citations: Author/Authors" at Purdue OWL, or pp.170-71 in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association .)  If the document itself does not number its paragraphs, APA suggests we count paragraphs following section headings to pinpoint the source cited. The parenthetical above would be constructed as an in-text citation as follows: (Purdue OWL, APA Formatting and Style Guide, Electronic Sources section, para. 5). MLA, on the other hand, prefers that writers never count paragraphs or assign them numbers. Instead, the citation should reference the nearest division that the source material itself makes -- chapter, section, or heading. See the MLA Handbook , 8th edition, p. 56. For all these styles, page numbers (in this case, exact locations in text) are necessary only for in-text citations or footnotes/endnotes.

Google Scholar: Using Google Scholar search to find full text


What is Google Scholar?:
What is Google Scholar? Google Scholar is a free but proprietary search engine designed specifically for the discovery of scholarly content - articles, books, presentations, etc. - on the World Wide Web. The two main ways researchers are using Google Scholar are 1. As a search engine for scholarly works 2. As a tool for increasing the discoverability of their own research


More context:
Google Scholar is a powerful tool. It is especially useful in finding the full text of open access scholarly content. One thing to keep in mind is that this is also a Google product: it is a proprietary resource, the algorithms and inner workings of which are not available to the public. Nevertheless, it appears to index a vast amount of scholarly literature and is relatively easy to use - and it is free! - making it a popular tool for research.


Search: Using Google Scholar search to find full text


GC Google Scholar Search 1:
Look for the "Find Fulltext at GC" link next to each result. Use that link to get the full text via the library's resources. Tip:  You can link your Google account to the GC, so the “Find Fulltext at GC” links will always appear – even if you don’t start your search from this page. Go to our customized settings screen , check all boxes for Mina Rees Library and click Save. If you’re logged into a Google account, it will remember that setting from now on.

Shared Research Collections:
"The development of a permanent rapprochement between the Graduate School and the New York Public Library — with a long-range commitment of public funds under an agreement that would permit the university’s cooperation in the development of those NYPL policies that affect its research collections — should be one of the Graduate School’s top priorities for the near future." Mina Rees. The First Ten Years of the Graduate School of the City University of New York. August 1972, p. 10.


The New York Public Library and the Graduate Center:


The New York Public Library and the Graduate Center:The New York Public Library and the Graduate Center:CUNY's PhD programs have been supported from their beginnings by NYPL collections, services, and spaces. In 1962 CUNY became a doctoral degree-granting university, and the CUNY Graduate Center opened in the W.R. Grace Building on 42nd Street, just across from the NYPL Research Libraries' Main Branch, now called the Stephen A. Schwarzman building, or SASB. Throughout the GC's history, NYPL has been CUNY's research library. In 1968, CUNY Chancellor Albert H. Bowker and CUNY Graduate Studies Dean Mina S. Rees, backed by the CUNY Council of Chief Librarians, sought a formal arrangement with NYPL to support CUNY's new doctoral programs. They enlisted the American Council of Leaned Societies ( ACLS ) to outline the mutual benefits of such a collaboration: CUNY doctoral scholars would secure access to a world-class research library, and NYPL , a private not-for-profit corporation dedicated to public service, would be compensated annually by CUNY's funders.


-class research library, and NYPL , a private not-for-profit corporation dedicated to public service, would be compensated annually by CUNY's funders.-class research library, and NYPL , a private not-for-profit corporation dedicated to public service, would be compensated annually by CUNY's funders.-class research library, and NYPL , a private not-for-profit corporation dedicated to public service, would be compensated annually by CUNY's funders.This relationship continues to this day, providing approximately $2 million in annual New York State Library funding to NYPL, specifically to support CUNY PhD programs. For nearly fifty years, New York City and then New York State, on behalf of CUNY doctoral students and faculty, has provided NYPL with a $1 million to $2 million annual revenue stream. The state supplies NYPL an additional $8 million per year to support book collections, undesignated research, services to the blind, the Schomburg Center, and SIBL. NYPL today applies its CUNY-earmarked funding to support NYPL library collections, staff salaries, building maintenance, and capital expenses. During the 1970s and 1980s, NYPL provided CUNY PhD students and faculty with study carrels and reserve shelving at NYPL, access to special collections and to pre-cataloged books, and expedited photocopying. GC affiliates used NYPL's reference service, and GC faculty contributed to NYPL purchase decisions.

GC affiliates used NYPL's reference service, and GC faculty contributed to NYPL purchase decisions.The GC Library displayed updated printouts of NYPL acquisitions and NYPL dictionary catalogs in the GC reference collection. NYPL's membership in the Research Libraries Group (RLG) allowed GC scholars to borrow material from the nation's largest libraries through NYPL's interlibrary loan. CUNY graduate students and faculty occupied a majority of the NYPL's Wertheim room into the 1990s, and CUNY scholars still constitute about 30% of NYPL study room occupants. The GC Library's e-resource collections expanded over the 1980s and 1990s as vendors licensed digitized scholarly resources to exclusive constituencies. GC library funding increased. The Graduate Center moved from 42nd St in 1999 to its current location at 34th St. and Fifth Ave., a few blocks away from the NYPL Main branch.

The 2006 introduction of intra-CUNY library borrowing deepened CUNY support for graduate programs, and established the Graduate Center Library as a hub of intra-library and electronic delivery. GC - NYPL services advanced  in 2011 when GC and NYPL administration agreed to allow PhD students to borrow books from the NYPL research collections, picking up and returning select, vetted titles at NYPL. Simultaneously, NYPL and their commercial vendors expanded off-site database access for any NYPL card-holder (not only GC affiliates).

With this, CUNY GC users may borrow directly from the NYPL research libraries using NYPL catalogs with NYPL library cards, or GC borrowers may request NYPL books for pick-up at the GC through GC interlibrary loan.

<b>MaRLI:</b>  Manhattan Research Library Initiative:
The Manhattan Research Library Initiative ( MaRLI ) is a borrowing program governed by the New York Public Library, New York University (NYU) Libraries, and Columbia University Libraries (for access to the Butler Library). A consultation with an NYPL research librarian is required for MaRLI privileges; see details below.

MaRLI: Manhattan Research Library Initiative


Any New York Public Library cardholder in good standing at participating libraries may apply via MaRLI for access to New York University Libraries and the Butler Library at Columbia University. NYPL applicants must demonstrate that the materials they seek are available only NYU or the Butler Library and are not held by the Graduate Center or the New York Public Library. GC doctoral students at the prospectus/dissertation writing stage and CUNY teaching faculty are viable candidates for MaRLI membership. Master's students and early term doctoral students may apply for MaRLI privileges as independent scholars (instead of as GC affiliates). Qualify for MaRLI Privileges Identify what collections or items you would access only via MaRLI access--your application may be turned away if your needs could be met already through CUNY or via NYPL's collections. Consult with a Graduate Center reference librarian for assistance as needed.

If your NYPL interviewer extends NYU or Columbia access, you will receive email instruction about retrieving your MaRLI ID from a research Library location with required identification . MaRLI members receive renewal alerts annually in early September. Continuing MaRLI members must show a current photo ID and may be required to repeat an interview.


MaRLI Privileges:
On-site access to book collection and archives as comparable to members of the host institution. Borrowing privileges for circulating print materials. Multimedia, audio, video, microforms, and non-print not included. Generally 120 day loans, subject to recall. Renew and return materials at the original lending library. On-site access to online journals and databases. Materials off-site provided in original or in reproduction. On-site reference assistance.


MaRLI Catalogs:
New York Public Library Columbia University Libraries New York University Libraries


One-Day METRO Referral Access:
New York City reference librarians, including librarians at the Graduate Center, can issue referrals to visit other NYC libraries to use specific items there. Identify a book, journal, CD, DVD, database, or other resource at a METRO member library that is not available at CUNY or at NYPL, Queens Public Library, or Brooklyn Public Library. Request a METRO referral in person at the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of the GC Library. See the METRO Member Directory . METRO referrals grant one-time, day-long, on-site use of a specific item verified in a library catalog. Access is limited to the specific item or subject and does not guarantee unlimited access to a library. Consult with your referring librarian to make sure items are available for you when you visit.


SHARES Worldwide Library Access:
The Graduate Center Library is an OCLC SHARES consortium member, which confers GC students, faculty, and staff access to participating university and museum libraries in New York City and across the world. SHARES also lowers interlibrary loan costs involving other SHARES libraries. The NYC area SHARES consortia includes the Frick Collection and Art Reference Library, Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Yale University. For Columbia University and New York University, Graduate Center affiliates need to apply for ongoing access via the MaRLI program or one day Metro referrals . See a full list of SHARES member libraries around the globe and contact the member library prior to your visit to verify access requirements, conditions and hours.


There are more than 80 SHARES Libraries around the world.  NYC area SHARES consortium members include the Frick Collection and Art Reference Library, Fordham University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Yale University. See a full list of SHARES member libraries around the globe. Be sure to bring your current photo ID from your own SHARES member library to visit another member library.   And call ahead if you will require staff assistance.

Introduction:
The Graduate Center Library supports all the ways that your research processes and results may manifest. In addition to helping with retrieval and citing of resources, the library can also help, via a consultation, with a digital project. If the consultation reveals that the project is beyond the library's scope or resources we can point you to other GC community constituents, such as the New Media Lab , the ITP program or Digital Fellows , that can possibly provide more intensive assistance. This LibGuide is a beta and we will continually be refining and enhancing it. Please contact the authors if you have any suggestions. Please make a consultation appointment with our [digital] librarians if you'd like to chat about your project during any phase of your project.

Command Line: Instructions on using the command line to generate data sets


Themes:
The true power of a CMS, and especially WordPress, is the ease and simplicity of changing the look and feel of your site without affecting the content. This is done when you select a theme. Check out the WordPress theme repository for an array of free, open-source options. Guide to installing and using themes


Child Themes:
You might want to radically change the theme that you are using. If so, a Child Theme is a great shortcut. Getting started with Child Themes .

Login. The dashboard of your WordPress installation will appear.


Plugins:
Not a programmer, but want some special functionality that the core installation does not contain? Chances are that it may already exist as a plugin. Plugins extend WordPress's core functionality. Before hacking the core and adding functions, see if the functionality already exists in a plugin that was developed by someone else by searching the plugin repository .


Introduction:
WordPress, the world's most popular open-source CMS, is great for blogging and general website development. A tremendous community supplies themes and plugins to expand WordPress's core functionality.


Themes:
Themes control the look and feel of the site. Omeka has several pre-made themes available for use. Omeka Classic Themes Omeka S Themes


Omeka Install:
Once XAMPP is installed:  c:\xampp\htdocs is the home of your content Download Omeka and unzip. Place in the c:\xampp\htdocs directory. Note: you have the option to rename the Omeka directory. Click on the xampp-control.exe icon in: C:\xampp Start Apache & MYSQL In your browser enter: http://localhost/ Click on phpMyAdmin. The phpMyAdmin control board will appear. Click on Databases. Enter a name for your database (‘omeka’ or use something other than ‘omeka’). In your:  c :\xampp\htdocs\omeka  directory, w ith your text editor (windows: notepad/notepad++ Mac: text wrangler). Open:  db .ini  file and edit: [database] host = “localhost” username = “root” password = “” dbname = “omeka” prefix = “omeka_” charset = “utf8” ;port = “” More details here .


Plugins:
Plugins for Omeka Classic Modules for Omeka S (Modules and plugins are essentially the same thing -- code that extends the original project's functionality. Omeka S has merely changed the nomenclature.)


Intro:
Omeka, which was developed specifically for academic use at George Mason University, is a great platform for publishing online collections. Similar to WordPress, Omeka has many themes and plugins that expand its core functionality. Omeka now has two projects: Omeka Classic and Omeka S.


Graduate Center’s Website Services:


Graduate Center’s Website Services:Graduate Center’s Website Services:The simplest is to use the Graduate Center’s Website Services portal at http://ws.gc.cuny.edu/ . This is a great option for simple sites or blogs that do not need much customization or functionality.  The portal allows you to create one or many WordPress sites.  GC Website Services has a small set of carefully curated plugins and themes from the WordPress Plugin Repository & WordPress Theme Repository . Scroll down and login with your GC network credentials. Once logged in, click on Dashboard. From the menu on the left, click on <My Sites>. Click on Create a New Site . Enter a domain name under Site Domain. Enter your site’s title under Site Title. Until your site is fully developed, it is best to select the No radio button under privacy. Note: You can change this later. Click the < Create Site > button. Click on Dashboard=>My Sites and select the site that you just created.

Note: You can change this later. Click on Settings=>Reading and select either the Your latest posts -or- A static radio button. This is setting determines if you intend to merely blog or have a structured website. After deciding, click the < Save > button.


CUNY Academic Commons:
Similar to the Graduate Center’s Website Services portal, the CUNY Academic Commons at https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/ is another multi-WordPress install that allows users (CUNY faculty, staff, graduate students, graduate alumni and postdocs) one or many WordPress sites. The Academic Commons is a bit more robust, because it has many more themes and plugins than GC’s Website Services. Additionally, you can request a theme or plugin to be evaluated and possibly installed from the WordPress repositories or a customized child theme to be uploaded to the Academic Commons. Click here to access and use the Academic Commons. Note: A valid CUNY email address is required to register and use the site. Please read the ' Hosting Partner Handbook ' on how to further customize WordPress's hyper-flexible platform.


Setting up a true development environment=>(X)AMPP:


Setting up a true development environment=>(X)AMPP:Setting up a true development environment=>(X)AMPP:You might need more flexibility with WordPress (the ability to install or develop any theme or plugin) or something beyond a WordPress site. If so, then the next option is for you. Note: We will be referring to XAMPP (Apache, MYSQL and PHP), which is for Windows, but analogs exists for Macintosh ( MAMP ) and Linux LAMP . Other distributions are available here with applications . Let’s discuss the why, before downloading and installing (X)AMPP . WordPress or Omeka (the two most popular Content Management Systems (CMS)) are database-driven solutions, which means that the content is not stored within the page itself but in a separate database. Content being stored in a database makes it easier to edit; no expertise is necessary. Furthermore, your site is easily customized. Because the design and feel is typically independent of content, it's simple to change the look across the entire site.

Because the design and feel is typically independent of content, it's simple to change the look across the entire site.our site is easily customized. Because the design and feel is typically independent of content, it's simple to change the look across the entire site.How does this work? The short answer is that, using PHP , the CMS makes calls to the database ( MYSQL ) and then the Apache Web Server software delivers the processed content to web browsers . With a traditional HTML page, the client (web browser) interprets, parses and renders all the code, but because contemporary CMS typically use PHP, the code needs to be processed by the server and the browser downloads the output. In the case of CMS, the PHP makes a database query which writes & extracts information from the database, processes and renders the specific content. The advantage of (X)AMPP is it allows for the flexibility (the universe of themes and plugins are available to you as well as the ability to hack the the core) of your own development environment without the cost of a server or webhost, such as Bluehost. It is also a safe place to learn, develop and test before committing to a server.

Depending up your needs and requirements, there are many options to develop your own website.


Zotero Basics:
Zotero: Saves and helps you to organize citations to articles, books, webpages, and more. Works with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari. Install the Zotero Word plug-in to quickly create bibliographies and add citations to papers.


Information Architecture:
A standard way to approach developing your site's architecture is via a card sort. You can card sort using analog methods or using software. Here is some information: Wikipedia Article How to Card Sort Ed Tech Wiki Card Sort Hot to Open Source Card Sort Software


Homepage layout & Wireframing:
Once you have a notion of the overall architecture of your site, you are ready to layout what you want your homepage to look like through wireframing. This can be performed with sketches or software. Wikipedia article on Wireframing Some 'free' wireframe tools Review of wireframe software solutions Wiry- an open source solution to wireframing Pencil Project


Introduction:
Before you start, especially if you are migrating existing content, it's best to organize your information and find an intuitive page order and hierarchy. rThere are many methods to develop or find your site's architecture, you can use software or just pursue an analog card sort.  Once you understand your information architecture, you can start building your homepage using wireframes.

Introduction:
There are many ways to approach mapping. The GC has ArcGIS installed on its public workstations. There is also an open source analog that you can install on your computer called QGIS .  However both require a steep learning curve and might be toocomplicated for your purposes.   Other approaches such as using a Wordpress plugin such as MapMaker with Google Maps  API or Open Street Maps might be just as useful and requires a lot less frontend investment rather  than learning a new complicated platform. Here is a more comprehensive guide to help inform your decision. Make an appointment with Stephen (sklein@gc.cuny.edu) or Steve (szweibel@gc.cuny.edu) to explore the best path toward your mapping needs. Meanwhile, here is a useful guide that might get you started.  Also, Frank Donnelly, a Baruch College librarian, occasionally gives classes so watch this page .


APIs: APIs for Scholarly Resources


What are Scholarly Research APIs?:
APIs, short for application programming interface , are tools used to share content and data between software applications.  APIs are used in a variety of contexts, but some examples include embedding content from one website into another, dynamically posting content from one application to display in another application, or extracting data from a database in a more programmatic way than a regular user interface might allow. Many scholarly publishers, databases, and products offer APIs to allow users with programming skills to more powerfully extract data to serve a variety of research purposes.  With an API, users might create programmatic searches of a citation database, extract statistical data, or dynamically query and post blog content. This guide was adapted from MIT's list of scholarly APIS .
