In the medical library where I work, one of our services is to supply requestors with the tables of contents from journals they've requested. We have been doing this by scanning the tocs from the actual journals and then sending them.
I am working on setting up rss feeds to have tocs sent directly from the journal websites or from OVID. So far, though, neither works effortlessly. Either I am doing something wrong or the journals are not fully set up to do this---or our institution's firewall is interfering, unbeknownst to me %#*@&^@%!
I am also trying to set up an RSS feed to automatically notify me when when of our doctors has an article included in Medline. Still in process here too.
This may be way off, but I'm going to look into it.The public library I work at has a blog icon on its webpage, but it's not really a blog--and there is no enticing "come hither" info on the webpage to encourage the reader to click on the everpresent "blog." So, I want to see if we can somehow put an RSS feed link on the webpage that might hook up our users with a blog that is a bit more interactive, i.e. that includes some indication on the webpage of the daily blog's content.
