Nate MooreHi #glammr! I'm an MLIS with a background in digital preservation and IT, based in Normal, IL. I recently built https://whatiiif.com, a free tool for generating shareable deep links to highlighted regions of IIIF manifests. It's one MIT-licensed HTML file with no backend and no cache.
Excited to connect with the community. #IIIF #GLAM #Libraries #Openaccess
