Here’s an idea that Karen Burns of SWILSA just pointed me to. Somehow I’d not thought of this myself. I love this idea and will be posting links to her libraries that get it up and running.
“I’m sure this is old hat to you but I’ve just stumbled onto the idea of using the RSS feed for recently added titles on LibraryThing to put a library’s new titles on their website. (I kind of like Feedroll’s javascript generator…) Do you know of any libraries that are doing this already? (I’ve got one here in SW Iowa ready to dive into it, and I’m sure I’ll have a second and maybe a third and fourth by the end of the day…)”
UPDATE: Karen would like me to make it clear that she got the idea elsewhere.
I’ve been doing that here at the Lunar and Planetary Institue. Problem is so much of our material is original cataloging and there are no nice covers.
Oh well, it is easy and cheap. So I do it for what works.
I’d been thinking of this since I heard of LibraryThing. Glad to see someone’s using it creatively!
