This Just In: Web Feeds for Enhanced Library Services
March 10th, 2005Gerry McKiernan links to an article [PDF] he wrote for Knowledge Quest titled, “This Just In: Web Feeds for Enhanced Library Services”. It has very extensive resources and “further reading” section, which I would expect from Mr. Bibliography. From the penultimate parapgraph:
“Other library functions and services could also be enhanced through a broader application and implementation of web feeds. The review of newly published and forthcoming titles by selectors and bibliographers could be significantly expedited if publishers and book vendors provided feeds for individual titles and disciplines. If electronic journals syndicated their content, users could choose to receive desktop notification for all potentially relevant articles by journal title or discipline. Ideally, such services would also allow subscribers to receive personalized feeds based on a saved search strategy. Likewise, the assessment, use, and integration of search results could be significantly improved if database and OPAC vendors offered a web feed option.”
Amen!
