FEATURES

Gear Up Your Research Guides with the Emerging OPML Codes
Outline Processor Markup Language is an emerging format that can allow you to create customized research packages to push to patrons. It’s a way to gather collections of Web resources (links, RSS feeds, multimedia files), organize them as outlines, and publish them in a format that others can share and even subscribe to.

Launching into the Podcast/Vodcast Universe
Reading this “captain’s log” about successfully launching podcasts and a vodcast (video podcast) will prepare you for your own journey into this universe. The captain’s experiences and maneuvers help chart a course that you can follow when your library’s launch window is ready.

Building an Ajax Application from Scratch
If you want to refresh your Web pages in a more pleasing way, try using Ajax. No, not the cleaning product, and not that kind of “refresh.” This Ajax is the way to use Web technologies that work together to refresh sections of Web pages to allow almost instant responses to user input. (This Ajax quickly refreshes once sent, not refreshes one scent.)
