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

I have implemented a servlet that generates RSS feeds for new titles and books out written by Casey Durfee (Thanks Casey!!) at Seattle public library to do this, with a few XSL tweaks of my own for our Dynix classic 1.9.1 / Horizon Information Portal 3.0.4 catalog. Have gone live with it and am still working on a few little enhancements (like a link with an auto login to renew books against each item) + better instructions for users. The next version of Horizon (4.0) may have this sort of functionality built-in. Anthony. » POSTED IN:
