Colleagues/ I am pleased to announce the publication and availability of my latest eProfile in _Library Hi Tech News_ Gerry McKiernan, "ebrary®: A User-Centered Digital Library of Interactive Content," _Library Hi Tech News_ 22, no. 1 (February 2005): 31-39, Self-archived at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/ebrary.pdf ] (accessed 16 February 2005). "Imagine being able to send full text and graphics documents (newspapers, magazine articles, technical manuals etc.) over electronic mail distribution networks. These documents could be viewed on any machine and any selected document could be printed locally. This capability would truly change the way information is managed. Large centrally maintained databases of documents could be accessed remotely and selectively printed remotely." John Warnock (Warnock, 1991) *** "At present, ebrary offers access to "more than 40,000 full-text books and other documents from over 180 of the world's leading academic, trade and professional publishers(corp.ebrary.com/libraries/features.jsp#010), providing full-text, searchable collections and sub-collections for all major subject areas."

Future Tense(r): Libraries Get Hip to RSS

Colleagues/ A *Great* Overiew of RSS/Web Feeds and Implications/Implementations for/by Libraries [ http://www.publicradio.org/columns/futuretense/2005/01/21.shtml ] Regards, /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Hip Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu "Web Feeds: It's a Good Thing" BTW: Don't Forget To Also Visit: RSS(sm): Rich Site Services [http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ] RSS(sm) General Bibliography [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/GenBib.htm ] eFeeds(sm) [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/eFeeds.htm ] B-Feeds [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/B-Feeds.htm ] OR Read Rich Site Services: Web Feeds for Extended Information and Library Services [ http://www.llrx.com/features/richsite.htm ] ********************************************************************************* January 21, 2005 Libraries get hip to RSS RSS, short for Really Simple Syndication, is an increasingly popular way to view Web sites -- without having to go to the actual sites. Using software called an RSS "reader" or "aggregator," users subscribe to "feeds" of content. For example, by subscribing to the Future Tense RSS feed, you automatically receive the content of the Future Tense Web site whenever it's updated, inside your RSS reader. Many major news sites have added RSS. Now, libraries are discovering that RSS might be a good way of providing new services and reaching out to patrons. Next month, the Seattle Public Library will offer feeds that will help patrons stay on top of their accounts, and track favorite authors or subjects from the library catalog. And library technology vendor Sirsi has announced new RSS features. [ http://www.publicradio.org/columns/futuretense/2005/01/21.shtml ]
