Colleagues/
In response to my query posted earlier this week, I have learned of
two databases
that offer RSS functionality
HubMed: pubmed rewired: An Alternative Interface to the PubMed Medical
Literature Database
[ http://www.pmbrowser.info/ ]
my.PubMed
[ http://www.mypubmed.com/ ]
[Thanks to Teri Vogel/ Georgia State University Libraries for these two
nominations!!!]
In addition, I has prompted to recall that an associated database of
my. PubMed offered by
FS Consulting, Inc. ( http://www.fsconsult.com/about/ ), also provides
RSS functionality. The database, my.OAI [ http://www.myoai.com/ ], is a
major
Open Archives Initiative Service Provider [

Each of these are now listed in RSS(sm) [

_Use of RSS in Bibliographic/Abstract Databases_?
I am greatly interested in learning of ANY and ALL
bibliographic/abstract databases that offer RSS feeds. Such feeds might
offer current search results, or automatic updates for a saved search
strategy. I would be interested in any current operational systems,
working prototypes, or projects under consideration.
For examples of other library-related uses of RSS, please see my latest
registry_RSS(sm): Rich Site Services_
[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ]
BTW: Thanks to all for their nominations for _RSS(sm)_. Although still
quite limited, it has nearly doubled in size from its establishment on
Sunday, June 6 !
