LazyWeb: Library Book RSS Feed?
Merlin Mann | Jan 6 2005
O, LazyWeb, I invoke thee. Following on from Jon Udell’s insanely great Amazon/library bookmarklet (43F post): how hard would it be to generate an Atom/RSS feed of books I have out, books that are overdue, and books that are still on request? Any takers? The respect and admiration of lazy, penurious nerds everywhere shall be your laurel. 15 Comments

 My library, the Ann Arbor...Submitted by Edward Vielmetti (not verified) on July 15, 2005 - 5:30pm.
My library, the Ann Arbor District Library at http://www.aadl.org , just started supporting RSS feeds as you mentioned above, plus blogging right in the catalog with book recommendations and news from staff and patrons. I took the library's RSS feeds and stuck my books-on-hold list into my sidebar, you can see that at http://vielmetti.typepad.com . They're using Drupal for their catalog/blog and Innovative Interfaces for the OPAC, with some amount of custom goo to hold it all together. » POSTED IN:
