 @8b189dd1 Thanks for that link. It seems like this might be the kind of project that could partner with the library, but perhaps would be separate in order to insulate the library from some of the bad fallout that could come from a project like this.

I should go looking on GitHub for some of that software—having a usable web interface would be key to this working!

 @9042307f Exactly. In my ideal scenario the library could lend its catalog infrastructure to a project like this which could have non-library leadership but realistically that's a tough sell for libraries which can be very very strict about data hygiene as well as privacy. In fact I think current library privacy regs might actually be the larger stumbling block, now that i am thinking about it.
