Open Educational Resources

RSS feed for UniCycle Open Educational Resources

In lieu of development to the Open Search interface - http://repository.leedsmet.ac.uk/main/index.php (currently research only) - to include UniCycle_OER, the easiest way to get stuff out of intraLibrary is via RSS - you should be able to add the link below to an appropriate RSS feed reader:

This pipe pull together is excellent - thank you very much.

a quick note that I've blogged about the different pipes I pulled together: http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/johnr/2009/08/21/rss-yahoo-pipes-and-ukoer-projects/ .

There are a couple of small issues to be aware of (this a note to myself as much as anything); I don't know enough about RSS but ideally the feed would update whenever a resource is added to or deleted from intraLibrary - I don't think this is happening and my feed is only updating sporadically in Google reader - presumably when Google reader "gets" from intraLibrary rather than when intraLibrary "sends" - I'll check this out with Intrallect.

Another issue that may be significant from a marketing/institutional PR perspective is the fact that feed items link directly to the resource itself rather than any sort of branded "landing" page - in contrast, for example, to U-NOW at Nottingham - http://unow.nottingham.ac.uk/resources/resource.aspx?hid=aa0cd235-f...

BTW have you seen John's Yahoo pipe...Erm, I'll rephrase that...John's [partial] Feed of OERs from Institutional projects using Pipes? http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=d58f8603d99e6ce9a3bd3195...

Mmmm. Not sure - that's the feed that is generated by intraLibrary. When I was playing with some feeds a while back I went through and replaced & with &(+)amp; but really just for accuracy's sake as they seemed to work OK. Could be that though. Let me know how you get on.

Comment by John Robertson on August 18, 2009 at 15:42: Hi Nick,

Clicking on the link brings up a feed ok but I've tried adding the feed to netvibes and a yahoo pipe but couldn't get either to work any thoughts? looking at the url I wondered if the ? or & might be throwing something.

I'll try again in the morning,
John
