 The part of this panel that gave me goosebumps was Deborah Boyer's rapid-fire tour of what happens when museums, libraries and archives open their collections up and go beyond digitization to mashups and augmented reality through the use of open APIs.

I love what she said:

• Make your archive as open as possible
• Use the tools you already have (like google maps)
• Form partnerships with local coder groups and have "hackathons" to connect APIs

Here are her slides:
