<div class="">Please join us next Wednesday, September 14th, for the <a href="http://librarylab.law.harvard.edu/" class="">Harvard Library Innovation Lab’s</a> presentation: "Library as Startup: Saving the World from Link Rot."</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Members of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab will discuss their experience building
<a href="https://perma.cc/" class="">Perma.cc</a>, a modern web development project that has grown beyond Harvard to include over 11,000 registered users at 713 archiving institutions.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Topics covered include development workflow, hosting and deployment, and strategies for scaling user support. A quick look at their <a href="https://github.com/harvard-lil/perma" class="">github repository</a> reveals deft use of modern web libraries,
automated testing, and task queues.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This work has translated into a stable software product that has been noticed beyond academia. Bloomberg Law, which covers the business aspects of large legal practices, says about
<a href="http://Perma.cc" class="">Perma.cc</a>: "<a href="https://bol.bna.com/the-problem-with-urls-in-legal-marketing/" class="">If your law firm isn't already using it, you probably should plan to.</a>"</div>

</div>
<div class="">The talk will be presented by Jack Cushman, a software developer and former appellate attorney; Brett Johnson, technologist and outreach/support lead for
<a href="http://Perma.cc" class="">Perma.cc</a>; and Ben Steinberg, a software developer and librarian. More information on Jack, Brett, and Ben may be found on the <a href="http://librarylab.law.harvard.edu/about" class="">Library Innovation Lab website</a>.</div>
