Cool Tools Episode 39 Screencast: Feed43
Feed43 is a free, web-based tool for converting web pages to RSS feeds or customizing existing RSS feeds. This screencast will show you how to use Feed3 to customize an RSS feed to search a library's catalog for an item in the feed. Using a feed from Amazon, it shows you how to create an item search pattern and use the extracted information from that pattern to customize the feed with a link to search a library's catalog. You can also check out the feed created during the screencast.

Great job Heather! This sounds like a great tool. I liked your pacing and voice quality throughout the episode, and your use of highlighting was really effective.
Wow! You make it seem so easy. I just hope that someday all that code will make sense to me.
Heather! I will definitely need to watch this over again and again to digest all of your great instruction! Thanks for creating such a useful video to help with understanding and applying Feed43!
I like your connection between using Feed43, Amazon books, and the library catalog. Great job with the step by step presention.
Heather, I recognized your voice before you said your name. This is a very impressive tool and a little complex for me. Thanks for highlighting how it can be useful for librarians.
