Software to Access RSS feeds in e-journal database

[Cobb, Mike A.]

Greetings,

I'm behind the times so I'm trying to learn some basics on RSS feeds and
have just installed the SharpReader about a week ago.  My questions
about the RSS feeds that are being mentioned are these:  

What software do you use for your RSS feeds?
Is that software pre-installed on all library machines so that people
can get to the RSS feeds?

Thank you

Hi:

This is an excellent resource listing RSS feeds for e-journals. Would be
really nice if one could also list RSS feeds offered by publisher/source
as
this would make it much easier to get an overall picture and to look at
coordinating activities in this space. For example, I posted to rss-dev
last
month a list - see below - that we were building up of science
publishers
offering RSS products. Our interests are in cultivating best practice
(in
e.g. metadata-enriched feeds) and building up a network effect.

Cheers,

Tony
