Introduction

• Im a simple man, so this is not cutting edge
  stuff, just examples of simple but potentially
  useful things that you can do with SMS APIs and
  web interfaces etc
• Whats right for Birkbeck may not be right for
  you- think about what YOUR institution needs and
  if any of todays examples are relevant then go
  for it. If not, ignore it, but make sure you can
  dress that up in management speak when a
  zealous senior manager says she thinks it would
  be a good idea!
