Friends, You can visit again my presentation at http://snipr.com/23ck1 to see how RSS can be used for SDI. Especially the example of extracting newly added references from PubMed. (Please note - http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi is giving some errors today) In the above example the User decides and initiates the "SDI". Perhaps you are looking for librarian initiated SDI. [I personally don't like the idea]. The same can also be done very easily. EPrints (a repository software - http://software.eprints.org ) can be used to generate conventional SDI to be delivered through email; even without RSS. However that would like killing mosquito with a bullet. Have you tried Google Alerts - http://www.google.com/alerts ? I have setup few alerts for myself. Whenever something new is indexed by Google on my keywords, I get an email from Google. Hey, Please don't take me as Google Brand Ambassador !! --Sukhdev Singh, NIC On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 5:41 PM, Saiful Amin <mail2saiful@gmail.com> wrote:
Actually any ILS now-a-days provide the SDI functionality. Which ILS are you using?
RSS is nothing but a delivery tool (just like email, albeit in a reverse way) without any user profiling option. That said, RSS feed generating software can be used to effectively to deploy SDI.

Dear Friends,
RSS feeds are actually a sort of SDI.
Unfortunately, Librarians have been ahead of time and unable to exploit their own science / engineering.
