case studies week 5

The Seattle Public Library feed doesn't indicate if these are new titles added, and if so when were they added. One of the books I clicked on was published in 2002. If this is based on a saved search, then a more recent date restriction should probably be included in the search.

The vendor information on RSS from Ebsco was pretty minimal. The information on Engineering Village and Proquest was much better becuase of the explanation of RSS provided. I particularly liked Proquest.

I am surprised that the vendors of information don't promote RSS better, but as I indicated in an earlier post, this is likely because they don't own the copyright and have to restrict access. Since the vendors have likely developed the email alert system already, they may not be that keen on promoting RSS which may be more difficult to secure.
