Now this really is All Good. Noted from Steven Cohen's blog Library Stuff--although he got the info slightly wrong because contrary to his posting, the RSS feeds are from much more than the University of Alberta Libraries (which would be significant anyway because U of A has a very big library system). UAL are part of the NEOS consortium.
All the NEOS libraries in Alberta now have RSS feeds from the shared catalog for new books at each of the dozens of libraries in the group. NEOS is a consortium of government, health, college and university libraries in Alberta that cooperate to share library resources, technology, collections and people. Many of the libraries in NEOS use a shared Sirsi Unicorn system.
Kudos to NEOS! And, how come all my old pals at U of A and other Alberta locales didn't give It's All Good an exclusive scoop on this, hmm?
Addendum @ 2pm EDT. I emailed Peter "Amazing" Binkley at U of A to ask him if he was the wizard of this RSS project, and he replied that he couldn't take the credit, that it was the work of Kenton Good (aptly named) and Jeremy Hennig. Kenton has just posted a description of the "how" of the project to his blog here. Thanks!
