You know the joke that goes "my work is at the intersection of art and technology"? Anyway here is a study on museum APIs I worked on this semester!
How can museums improve the usability of collection APIs? We've done a usability study of the APIs @metmuseum @ClevelandArt @smithsonian and @cooperhewitt. Read the findings and download the report on our website: prattdx.org/research/evaluat… #musetech #usability
