Seeing a need within the Concordia community, Concordia Library began spearheading the creation of an open data application programming interface (API) as part of the R. Howard Webster Library Transformation Project technology program. As an opportunity for active and collaborative learning, the project scope was expanded to encompass the entire university.
Bringing together a cross-functional team with representatives from Instructional and Information Technology Services (IITS), Concordia Library and Enrolment Services, open data was created to provide a freely available, centralized catalogue of university-wide data.
