Application Program Interface [API] allow for more involvement from the community and get them developing their own applications and moving library resources and services away from the library website. By using these tools, the library becomes more omnipresent, it gets integrated with user everyday life. John’s example is patREST.

I'll put some in when I get the chance. I thought about converting the percentile to a pure percentage, but then I figured that, programmatically, coders would have to convert it back to a decimal value to do anything with it.

(e.g. when multiple isbns are returned, it's not 100% clear that you just return multiple altisbn tags). second is that if the level is a percentile then it should be scaled 0-100 not 0-1. hey john two suggestions
