The beta test period has been completed for the RSS feeds for new titles. The feeds are now available for general release. New feeds will be created as requested by schools. If you would like a feed created, please log a helpdesk incident and someone from PALNI will contact you.

What is RSS? Very simply, RSS feeds allow users to subscribe to content so that it can be delivered to their desktop. For our example, this means that a list of new titles will be delivered to the patron instead of the patron having to visit the library website to find the information. If you want to find out more about RSS, there is a detailed explanation in this Wikipedia article.

If you would like to see an example of an RSS feed for a PALNI school, you can view the raw XML feed for Marian college here:

If you have other ideas regarding how we might be able to implement RSS in PALNI, please let us know.
