A couple of things to note before the weekend – Roddy MacLeod has a really good overview article on RSS in the most recent issue of the FreePint Newsletter: “RSS Update: It’s RSS, Jim, but Not as We Know It“. Lots of good links in there, including one to a project he’s working on called TicTOCs. TicTOCs, an RSS Table of Contents alerting service, will be free to all when launched, hopefully by Spring 2008, and will initially be aimed at the UK crowd (major sponsor is JISC), though Roddy says it should be usable worldwide. You can follow along with developments at the ticTOCs blog. 
And if you’re interested in that article, you may be interested in the SIRSI/Dynix Institute presentation Meredith Farkas and I are doing on August 7 on RSS for Libraries. Registration is free for the one-hour session, and a recording will be made as well.

One response to “RSS Updates”
Your SirsiDynix presentation about RSS which demonstrated the Table of Contents possibilites and the Saved-Searches feeds were services I had not heard or read about anywhere else.
Many thanks for a job well-done.
