Library Cataloging
Lots of activity about creating RSS feeds from the Dynix System. First there was Creating an RSS Feed of Books You Have Checked Out of the Library. This generated some discussion and further development. Then came an RSS feed of new DVDs, again for the Dynix system.

I hope all vendors are aware of this and will include RSS feeds, or their easy creation in future products. Seen at Library Stuff.

The RSS Valiadator checks RSS feeds. It works with RSS 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0, and 2.0, but it is optimized for RSS 2.0 feeds. This ensures that the RSS feed is up to standards. It also recognizes elements from other name spaces, like Dublin Core....
