This presentation will focus on fedinprint.org, a web application that makes research outputs from across the United States Federal Reserve System – including twelve regional banks and the Board of Governors – searchable in one location by title, author, abstract, keyword, series, content type, bank, and Journal of Economic Learning (JEL) classification. Fed in Print also presents metadata about these research outputs to major discovery services including Google Scholar and Research Papers in Economics (RePEc). The presentation will focus on the history of Fed in Print, the System-wide cooperation required to successfully populate Fed in Print with timely, high-quality item metadata, and future plans for Fed in Print. Such future plans relate to API development, automation in content contribution, possible new RSS feeds, and keyword quality control. These future plans will necessitate an exploration on the poster of the agile software development processes used to articulate, refine, and prioritize forthcoming enhancements to Fed in Print, in balance with multiple other digital products maintained by the Research Division at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. |
