New knitting (or your topic of choice) books at the AADL

More in the line of catablog hacks --

Here's a URL to search for new knitting books at the AADL. If you inspect it carefully you'll see that it'd be easy to change for any subject you want. Note that a lot of the just-arrived books are already on reserve from a few people, so the best approach to this is to find the ones you want to see, put them on reserve, and then keep that pattern up until you start to always have books come in a la Netflix.

I haven't found an RSS feed for that equivalent search yet, though I know it's bound to be on the way; when it comes, I'll update this page and feed in the list of items, and set up a Feedburner link for it.

Feeds for this app are almost done. You'll get an RSS button at the bottom of every search result, so you can do a search that gets you the hits you want, then subscribe to it.

The only catch is that, believe it or not, with Innovative, there is no way to automate the export of these records, so the database has to be manually updated, putting a human (currently me) in the process.

Also in that universe, I've built a Firefox search plugin (http://communityhigh.org/matth/50/aadl-catalog-search-plugin) for the AADL catalog, which is starting to come in handy.

(what's with the "no HTML in comments"?)

Looks like the URL formatter got a little excited there, here's the correct clickable: http://communityhigh.org/matth/50/aadl-catalog-search-plugin
