RSS on the Library Web Server (ogma)

WW&DCS Documentation

Library News Database : SQL / ASP application. Web forms for adds/edits/deletes. Maintained by Library Staff.

University uPortal : Public View and Login View / Library Page / RSS Feed

How to incorporate the feed into other Library pages?

First... How to validate your feed? Feed Validator

Second... How to incorporate the output? Feed2JS

Example: Staff Front Door

Cool but - depends on RSS parser at Maricopa Community Colleges (Arizona)

Put components on ogma? Why not? What do we need?

MagpieRSS : PHP RSS Parser

Feed2JS

Feed2JS via Ogma

Benefits: Our server, we configure it - we control the refresh rate, etc.

How else can we use it? : Ejournals by Subject

How can we advertise the News feed? : XML Icon on Library Front Door
