RSS, Federated Search/Library Portal, and OpenURL

I’ve been asked to take part in a session presenting on how RSS might be used in conjunction with an OpenURL link server (SFX), and a federated search and library portal product (MetaLib).

I’m putting my first ideas down here, but if anyone has other ideas, it would be great to hear about them…

  • Recently received journals list from a library system with links to OpenURL to provide fulltext or ToC links as available (I’ve already done this one)
  • Search results via RSS
  • New resources added to Portal
  • Portal displays RSS feeds from other sources

I’m sure there must be more potential than this, but so far that’s what I’ve come up with – I’ll add more if/as I get more ideas (either my own, or contributed by others)
