New Feed for Posts AND Comments

Posted on July 15, 2010 by Stephen Francoeur

I did the same thing with Yahoo! Pipes here that I did today for the Reference at Newman Library blog so you can subscribe to a feed that gives you all new posts and comments. If you’d like to see how I did it, I created a screencast and wrote step-by-step instructions on this post from my other personal blog, Stephen Francoeur’s Stuff.

Here’s the URL you can add to your feed reader for the new combined feed:

Mashups at SLA

Posted on June 18, 2009 by lklusek

I attended a program on Mashups at SLA yesterday. Nicole Engard, the editor of the forthcoming book on Library Mashups (published by Information Today), was the speaker. You can find more about the book here. Although I thought some librarians in the audience where more knowlegable about certain technical aspects of working with mashups, Nicole engaged the audience throughout.  She spent most of an hour actually showing examples of mashups used in business settings and in libraries and then did a live demo of how to use Yahoo Pipes to bring together news streams from the Washington Post and the New York Times.  She suggested going to programmableweb.com to search for more examples and reading an article by Jody Fagen, “Mashing Up Multiple Web Feeds Using Yahoo! pipes” in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue of Computers in Libraries. The slides from her talk are on the Library Mashups blog here.
