Cincinnati Library calendar in iCal format

UPDATE: This process no longer works. See my updated post for new instructions.

The Cincinnati Library has an online calendar that has all the events for all the branches. Unfortunately there was no way to subscribe in Google Calendar. However, after a little digging I found that you can grab the RSS feed (which is supplied) and make a small change to the URL in order to get an iCal-compatible URL. Not much to it, but I bet someone else wants to do this, too. Hopefully Google will lead them here.

So you go to the library's calendar page, then copy the link from the RSS button (usually by right-clicking on the button and choosing copy link). Paste the link into a text editor (notepad, textedit, word, whatever) and look for where it says dm=rss2. Change it so it is dm=ical. Then copy and paste that new URL into your Google Calendar or iCal or any other calendar program that can subscribe to iCal calendars.

Here's the help article.
