[OAI-eprints] Web Feeds for Enhanced Governmental Information Services

[Gerry Mckiernan]

Colleagues/

Once again I seek the Wisdom of the Web for recommendations of
governmental information services that do/could/would benefit from the
addition of general or specific Web feeds (e.g., RSS, Atom, etc.).

For examples of libraries that offer enhanced services, please see
_RSS(sm): Rich Site Services_, one of my latest registries available 
at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ]

"_RSS(sm): Rich Site Services_ is a categorized registry of library
services that are delivered or provided through RSS/XML, Atom, or other
types of Web feeds. RSS is an initialism for RDF Site Summary / Rich
Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication. In general, for each entry,
the home institution library is listed, as is a hotlinked entry for the
item. When available, a link to the  feed, or an associated information
page, is provided."

For those new to Web Feeds, please See and Read Any and All items of
potential interest the RSS(sm) General Bibliography 
at   [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/GenBib.htm ] 

I am particularly interested in the *specific* information services
offered by the following federal entities that might benefit from a
WebFeed MakeOver [:-) :

Library of Congress

National Agricultural Library

National Library of Education 

Defense Technical Information Center 

Air Force ,Army, Navy 

Executive Office of the President 

Governmental Printing Office (GPO)

National Science Foundation  (NSF)

National Technical Information Service (NTIS)
