Recipes

There are a number of existing recipes that were previously posted on the Mashed Library ning:

* Some Yahoo Pipes examples to get you started http://mashedlibrary.com/wiki/index.php?title=Starter_Pipes
* Using XPath to extract values from an XML file
* Extracting ISBNs from RSS feeds, web pages, or anywhere really http://mashedlibrary.ning.com/forum/topics/extracting-isbns-from-rss
* Recipes (or perhaps, recipe inspirations) from OCLC Developer Network members http://www.oclc.org/applicationgallery/
* Creating a map in Yahoo pipes using an XML feed (shows how to pull out geographic locations, add html to output and make use of XML files) http://www.meanboyfriend.com/overdue_ideas/2010/04/putting-warwickshire-libraries-on-the-map/
* Data scraping Wikipedia with Google spreadsheets (pull table data into Google spreadsheets – not just Wikipedia tables) http://blog.ouseful.info/2008/10/14/data-scraping-wikipedia-with-google-spreadsheets/
* Using OCLC xISBN service and jQuery to find newer editions
Feel free to add recipes in on this wiki (I suggest a page per recipe) or post links to recipes on other sites.
