SAGE Publications TOC RSS feeds
April 23rd, 2006The indefatigable Peter Scott mentions that SAGE has announced that the TOC for their journals are now RSSified. While this is not “news” (we’ve seen some mention of this in the past), it’s still very cool.
Take a further look at one of their journals. Let’s look at Action Research. There are two feeds available here. One for the current issue and the other for recent issues. I had to think about why they would offer two feeds and after awhile, it hit me. If libraries want to display feeds on their web site, blogs, or catalogs, they have the choice for current TOC or recent TOC.
See, I think of RSS as stuff that only comes into my aggregator, not content that can be displayed. My brain doesn’t work that way sometimes. So, while this didn’t make sense to me right away, I’m now thinking that SAGE is ahead of many other publishers. Good on ya.
