University of Alberta Libraries Does RSS - 285 of ‘em
February 17th, 2005Hip Hip Hooray. Geoff Harder posts the huge news! There are now 285 feeds. Check this out:
Their new books section is broken into specific libraries and subjects. I clicked on Social Sciences and there is a feed for every Cutter code. Wowza!! I have always wanted to see something like this in action. I’m assuming that these feeds are automatically created with the cataloging system.
Props to the University of Alberta libraries for having the guts to put so many little orange buttons all over the place. Plus, there is an RSS tutorial. Into the RSS presentations it goes.
Update - Kenton Good writes up how they pulled it off. Thanks for putting it out there Kenton, for the good of the profession and the future of RSS in libraries.
