RSS Feed for Your Library Books

Peter Rukavina, who lives in Prince Edward Island, Canada, was tired of forgetting what books were due when at his local library. So he wrote a program in Perl to scrape his library’s web site and generate an RSS feed he could subscribe to.

Although this example will only work with the system that Peter’s library uses (it could be modified to work with other library systems), I expect to see more of this as the developers of library systems realize how powerful RSS is.
