Ken Varnum points to a posting by Wally Grotophorst, Associate University Librarian at George Mason University’s library, who posted “a small Perl application that searches his Voyager online catalog for a specific Library of Congress call number and returns the results as an RSS feed.”

RSS4Lib:: On-The-Fly RSS by LC Number for Voyager

I’ve been thinking about doing something similar for awhile. This prompted me to give it a try. I created an expect script that creates a list of new books catalogued on our Innovative system and saves it to a text file. A perl script then converts the output to RSS and saves it in a folder on teh web site.
