Always Fresh! Fast Content for Your Website and Users

busy library staff and the library webmaster. RSS (rich site
summary/RDF site summary/really simple syndication) feeds can help you keep
your site current. Learn how to publish, merge, and convert RSS feeds
into instant Web content. Discover how libraries have made specialized
pages featuring article titles of current journal issues, new library
acquisitions, book and movie reviews, and much more |
