Library account RSS feed

Yesterday 43 Folders asked LazyWeb if someone could build an RSS feed for overdue library books. Merlin writes: "The respect and admiration of lazy, penurious nerds everywhere shall be your laurel."
One of the commenters brought up LibraryELF, which fits the bill nicely. Let's hope this publicity encourages more libraries to join. The library where I work joined last month, and the developers were great about troubleshooting catalog quirks with me. Sadly, no other Portland-area libraries are members yet. Come on, Multnomah County!

The Ann Arbor District Library in Michigan just turned on RSS feeds a la Merlin's suggestion - see some of them at http://www.aadl.org .

About

Psst! This is the blog of Moira Burke, a Ph.D. student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
