More OU Library XML Feeds

Things are move swiftly in terms of the OU Library's support for XML feeds - the latest 'beta' is an RSS feed of personal loans.

I don't think I can publish a URL yet (in part because it contains my Library number in plaintext) but here are a couple examples of it in use.

Firstly, in my Netvibes page:

Secondly, in a Firefox Live Bookmark:

It's easy enough to imagine feeding this information - along with the Library's new books info - in to a MyOpenLibrary (or MyOpenLibrary 2.0 page, come to that!).

There's no reason why it couldn't be fed to an OU Library Konfabulator widget either...
