Candidates for RSS/Web Feed Registries | Major New RSS Gerry Mckiernan 17 Dec 2004 15:36 UTC

Colleagues/

I am greatly interested in learning of additional candidates for any
one of my Web feed registries:

_RSS(sm): Rich Site Services_

[  http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ]

RSS(sm): Rich Site Services is a categorized registry of library
services that are delivered or provided through RSS/XML, Atom, or other
types of Web feeds. RSS is an initialism for RDF Site Summary / Rich
Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication. In general, for each entry,
the home institution library is listed, as is a hotlinked entry for the
item. When available, a link to the feed, or an associated information
page, is provided.

************************************************************************
_eFeeds_

[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/eFeeds.htm ]

_eFeeds(sm): Web Feeds from Electronic Journals_ is a categorized
registry of electronic journals that offer RSS/XML, Atom, or other Web
feeds. Publisher-specific and vendor Web feeds are categorized  in a
separate category.

************************************************************************
_B-Feeds(sm)_

[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/B-Feeds.htm ]

_B-Feeds(sm): Web Feeds for Books and Monographs_ is a categorized
registry of sites that offer RSS/XML,  Atom, or other Web feeds, to
compilations, directories, lists, reviews, or other relevant sources
for/or about  academic or scholarly books or monographic works.

RSS/Web Feeds _General Bibliography_

In addition, I wish to note the publication and self-archived
availability of an *Most Excellent* review article on RSS by Judith
Wusteman (Department of Library and Information Studies, University
College Dublin, Ireland)

"RSS: The Latest Feed", _Library Hi Tech_ vol 22, no 4, pp. 404 - 413,
2004.
Abstract
The number of library-related RSS and Atom applications is increasing
daily. But, as yet, the formats and technology involved are far from
stable. This article looks at the current state of the field, discusses
future developments and considers implications for the library
