Who are you, and what do you do?
I’m Annie Cain. I was once a librarian and maybe still am. Either way, I currently build web apps. For libraries. I also come up with ideas, help shape ideas and help execute & build non-web ideas.
The Setup - Jessica Yurkofsky
Who are you, and what do you do?
I’m Jessica. I just finished up the urban planning masters program over at the GSD. I’m hanging out at the lab for the summer, working primarily on Time/Slice, a project I started in the Library Test Kitchen. The Lab is very awesome.

Hi, my name’s Jeff. I do design and new ideas here at the Lab. The Lab ROCKS! It’s a great job. Sometimes I help make websites (like this one), sometimes I do classes and right now, even working on some policy-ish stuff with folks from here and the Berkman Center.

We’re regular readers of The Setup. We really like it. We like it so much that we’re doing a local version for the Lab. Matt is up first.
Who are you, and what do you do?
I’m Matt Phillips.
I work in the Harvard Library Innovation Lab. I try to make libraries better, usually by writing software.
Time/Slice!
My name is Jessica and I’m hanging out at here for the summer to work on a Library Lab project called Time/Slice. The idea behind it is that activity and events are part of the “data” associated with a community, but that there is no one responsible for organizing/archiving/analyzing them as such. Time/Slice is a digital bulletin board for a physical place (eg a school or neighborhood) which can be housed in the library associated with that community. It takes event submissions via email with photo/video attachments. It can also pull in video of previous events (from youtube/vimeo feeds, etc.) Everything is added and sorted automatically.
