CIL Wrap-up

My second presentation from CIL is now available in PDF format - Unleashing the Power of RSS. I've gotten lots of positive feedback... lots of light bulbs. One of my favorite comments is from Luann Johnson:

"With the information you presented in your Thursday session, I've been able to subscribe to an aggregator, create a Blog, and RSSify it ... in two days. Before the conference, I had no clue as to what RSS was, let alone get my own feed up and running!"

Yes you, too, can do this at your library!

Oh, and Michael Stephens has posted his pictures from the conference. Who knew that James Bond was in attendance?!

BTW, Michael has moved his blog to Movable Type, so make sure you catch his new feed.

Oscar-winning Films from the Library

"Webcat-linked list of academy award winning films from 1928 to present, from Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library in Indiana." [h20boro lib blog]

Nice. ILS vendors need to make it easier for libraries to slice and dice their catalogs this way. Or maybe we need some new types of metadata in our catalogs.

And, of course, provide an RSS feed for new lists....  ;-)
