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.)
