Heights Library XML Feed
The new Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library website went live March 7, and as far as I know, this is the first Ohio library to offer an XML RSS feed of news from its site. (If I'm wrong, please post a comment to correct me!) And they offer not just one news feed, but two: library news and today's events.
Why is this cool? Because an increasingly popular way to gather news around the web is by using an RSS aggregator program. You choose your individual news sources (Wired, NPR, Astronomy Picture of the Day) and your aggregator program collects the information for you. This puts library news where growing numbers of our users want to find it.
