Automating reading list checking using Python and Open Library

LIGHTING TALK @ OxCam Conference

I gave a lightning talk on the use of automation in collection development at the 2023 OxCam Conference (for college libraries at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge). I spoke about the Python script I wrote to find matches between reading list data and catalogue data, as well as using the Open Library API and its work identifiers to retrieve the bibliographic data for related editions. More about this project can be found here.

Below are the slides from the talk:
