RE: [LIS-Forum] Announcing: _RSS(sm): Rich Site Services_
Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2004 11:18:47 +0530 From: VYASAMOORTHY /IKP/HYD <Vyasamoorthy@icicikp.com> Mckiernan others might be interested in the following site maintained by Rajesh Jain: http://www.blogstreet.com/bin/showcat.cgi?catcode=lib This leads you to some 3oplus RSS feeds related to Library Weblogs. I wonder why interest in RSS feeds as a resouce for "Current Alerting Services" is not picking up in India. Among the Indian newspapers Indian Express offers RSS feeds. Why don't you try it? To preserve the context I am quoting Mckiernan's posting in full.

Dear All, I found the Rocket RSS Reader very handy in reading RSS feeds. It is platform independent and works on most browsers. The service is available at: http://reader.rocketinfo.com/desktop/ It also has a built-in index of some well-known RSS feeds, some related to libraries as well. Almost all BBC channel feeds are also available. As to Mr Vyasamoorthy's suggestion on using it for Alert service in libraries is good one, but someone has to start it as a pilot project and present a case for it. There are many free tools available on the Net to develop a RSS feed generator. Also it would need only intermediate level of computer programming knowledge to develop a feed generator from scratch if one has fair idea of XML data models. Anyone interested? I would be more than willing to offer my help.
