DH Box

Setting up an environment for digital humanities computational work can be time-consuming and difficult. DH Box addresses this problem by streamlining installation processes and providing a DH laboratory in the cloud through simple sign-in via a web browser. The DH Box platform comes pre-equipped with essential DH tools such as IPython, RStudio, Omeka, and NLTK.

Augur

Augur is a web app that tracks statistics about library reference desk interactions. It improves on previous reference tracking programs by providing a better user interface, including more and clearer charts illustrating the reference data, and by using a controlled vocabulary of tags. Hunter College Libraries, and several other institutions (as far away as Nigeria) currently use Augur to track their reference statistics.

Know Thy Shelf

A radio frequency identification (RFID)-based inventory system for libraries, Know Thy Shelf allows users to scan an entire shelf of books in less than 50 seconds. Know Thy Shelf then checks the status and location of each book against the library catalog, creating a visual representation of the shelves for easy reference.

CUNY+ Catalog API and Mobile App

Using the CUNY+ Catalog API allows for programmatic search of the catalog, providing results that can be used to create applications that take advantage of CUNY's holdings and metadata. As a demonstration of its utility, I created a mobile app for the Hunter College Libraries catalog, allowing users to search for resources using any web-enabled device.
