My long-time love for librarians (and for RSS) grows stronger over time.
My heart goes all a-flutter at the introduction of RSS feeds for new items in the UBC Library.
I could quibble — it would certainly be nice if custom feeds could be generated by a search. But the feeds seem to render fine in my newsreader, and in aggRSSive (which means it will be a snap for instructors to incorporate these feeds into course pages).
I demo an aggRSSive javascript rendering of the American literature feed after the jump. I see that one of the recently added items is a book by Karin Cope on Gertrude Stein. I remember Dr. Cope from grad school — looks like she’s ditched academia for the life of a Nova Scotian writer.
