It's been a long time in the making, but I'm delighted to be able to mention the soft launch (in beta) of the new Library Data Lab at Southampton, giving dataset and API access to our digitised collections of print, MSS, image and media.

My colleague Matt (not on here) introduces the service in this presentation: https://southampton.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=69caa4b1-2875-4fab-b07b-b3f000dc787b

The service itself is at https://datalab.library.soton.ac.uk/

All comments very welcome.

@mia thanks Mia! We've enjoyed making it, and I think it's relatively unusual in university libraries. I'm intrigued to see in which directions the users take us with it.
