A few other of library related feeds I've subscribed to for are while are:
- Jessamyn West's librarian.net - 'putting the rarin back in librarian since 1999'
- David Lee King - 'social web | emerging technologies | libraries'
- LISNews - 'The Cream of the Crop'
..and for something a little bit more humorous there is Awful Library Books (although I actually follow this site via twitter rather than through their RSS feed).
At Cockburn Libraries, our library catalogue now has the ability to produce RSS feeds from catalogue searches. I have been experimenting with these a little bit, and I've added the RSS feed for the new music CDs search to the right hand column of this blog (& my RSS reader).
Other useful RSS feeds: the feed from the PLO noticeboard is imported into our staff homepage, and there is of course the Cockburn Libraries blog feed to satsify your hunger for all thing Cockburn Libraries
You've inspired me to try this rss thingy. Love the spots btw.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you've implemented one of the Web 2.0 technologies into your blog. Have you implemented the live feed on your library's website as well?
ReplyDeleteWe use RSS a bit on the library website. All our event listings and the scrolling lists of this weeks events are imported via rss feeds from our event calendar. We are looking to utilize feeds of new titles somewhere on the website, but the feed output from Spydus LMS doesn't sort properly by default. I only worked out how to change the feed url to get the sort working properly when I was messing around with the new cd list for this week's lesson so I could add it to my blog.
