Last week I posted about a Yahoo Pipes construct that turns a Zotero website library into an RSS feed. As Dan Cohen noted in a twitter response to the posting, the Zotero team is planning to add an RSS capability in a future release of the website, so this pipe will ultimately be usurped by that capability, but in the meantime it is a handy tool. It was my first full-scale foray into creating a Yahoo Pipes construct from scratch, so I thought it would be useful to document how it works (in case I need to do something similar again). You might find this useful, too; especially the part about how to put a pubDate element into the RSS feed.

Note! A new feature on the Zotero website does away with the need to use this Yahoo! Pipe. RSS feeds are now generated by the Zotero website itself. Read more about it on the Zotero blog.
