Selling RSS to Medical Librarians (Updated)
Tame the web is een weblog van Michael Stephens, in 'blogland' een bekend persoon. Hij heeft een log gepubliceerd bestaande uit een (lange) email van David Rothman getiteld: Selling RSS to Medical Librarians (Updated)
information wants to be free wijst ook op deze email en zegt erover: ' Check out this great e-mail that David Rothman, a medical librarian in New York state, sent to Michael Stephens
on how he has used RSS and aggregators to deliver targeted journal
tables of contents to busy clinicians. Take a look at what he did,
especially if you are a liaison librarian. This is definitely something
I want to move towards in my services to the online graduate programs.
Not only is it easier for the patron to get the information they want,
but, for the librarian, the only work is the initial setting up of the
feeds and getting the clinicians or faculty members started with an
aggregator. Everyone’s happy!

Explaining RSS is much more difficult than it would seem to those of us
who use it daily and these two blog posts really get to the heart of
how to explain it simply and how to show why RSS is practical and
useful in our daily lives.'
