WikipeDPLA Extension

This extension queries the DPLA each time you visit a Wikipedia article, using the article's title, redirects, and categories to find relevant items. If you click a link at the top of the article, it loads a series of links to the items.

The original code behind WikiDPLA was written at LibHack, a hackathon at the American Library Association's 2014 Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, PA.

Does not transmit user data anywhere nor use analytics.

☆☆☆ OPEN SOURCE ☆☆☆

The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/phette23/wdpla-ext

Bryan “Ironman” Stark (ID: 000000c6a8399122) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/05/2019 Extremely useful if you are going to school and your instructor is telling you that you can't use wikipedia as a scholarly source. With this, you can research DPLA to find scholarly sources cited in wikipedia.

Jake Orlowitz (ID: 00000017f1983d0e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/28/2014 I helped Phette code this script at LibHack and it's been nifty from the beginning. It does just what it says, surfaces relevant documents and images on a live Wikipedia article. It pulls directly from DPLA's API and is a great way to go digital explorin' from the encyclopedic overview of Wikipedia to the archival treasures catalogued at the Digital Public Library of America. Neat!
