Just wanted to say thank you for joining the OCW Search API mailing

To get us rolling, can you please introduce yourself and tell us what

Hi,

I work as a research associate in the UK and have been involved some of the UKOER projects. I'm interested in searching the various repositories and websites used to disseminate OERs through RSS and APIs.

I'm currently looking at the OCWC as it is relevant to this.

I'm going to a developer event on harvesting, aggregating and collecting OERs in Glasgow tomorrow (22nd June) and the API might be of interest to developers there. http://wiki.cetis.ac.uk/OER_Gathering

Furthermore JISC will be funding projects in the UK that will be creating static and dynamic collections of OER so I'm sure the API will be of interest to those projects.

Best Regards,

Lisa Rogers

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for that. Sounds very interesting. I'm in Cambridge, UK, and so
the JISC effort is doubly interesting.

As you say, OCW Search can help/support this effort, and I would be
happy to talk about how.

Thanks,
Pierre
