RSS feeds for new books to order
October 9th, 2007 Posted in Book suggestions, For Librarians and Library Staff, LiaisonsI’m anxiously awaiting the time when I can let campus faculty and researchers know that they can get UAF libraries new books RSS feeds in their subject areas through the Goldmine catalog. Alas, that is not yet the case. Instead I’d like to encourage all UAF library users to subscribe to RSS feeds on their favorite publisher websites; many publishers now offer these feeds broken out by subject, so you know when they publish a new book. Subject librarians can use these feeds too as a way of getting information on new books to order.
Example: University of Chicago Press
RSS is pretty easy to set up; if you need assistance, ask at the library’s Reference Desk.
