Sirsi也將應用RSS在館藏系統
ILS廠商Sirsi預計將在3月分推出的產品中(Rooms 2.0 and Enterprise Portal Solution) 導入RSS的應用,其特色有:
- The ability to take any OPAC search strategy and convert it into an RSS feed. Because text search engine for our ILS system enables a user to embed MARC and other field codes in the search string, a user could construct a search that searches against title, author, subject, ISBN {020} and any other indexed field within the ILS.
- The ability to create an RSS feed based on a search of any sources within SingleSearch, Sirsi’s MuseGlobal (Gary’s sponsor) based federated search product (EBSCO, LoCZ, etc.).
- The ability to create an RSS feed of Google results.
- The ability to create an RSS feed of our ‘Best of the Web’.
- The ability to sort the results by date, author, title, or relevance, where applicable.
MSN Search 上線了
微軟於2005/1/31正式推出MSN Search,特色有:
- 提供了近4萬筆的Encarta encyclopedia資料供2個小時的免費檢索
- MSN Search還針對搜尋結果提供了RSS feeds
- 首頁比以前的MSN.com更快
RSS在圖書館的應用
圖書館如何應用RSS呢? Talis 與 Northumbria University Library 合作以提供讀者個人化的RSS。
讀者透過個人化的RSS可以收到來自圖書館的各項通知,如借閱到期前通知、預約借書到館通知、逾期罰款通知等。讀者可以由feed items 所提供的連結直接連到館藏系統,而不必再一次的輸入帳號及密碼。
