The UCLA Library is testing the second iteration of a beta version of RSS feeds and a Customized Feeds Wizard to deliver notifications to users about items recently added to library collections. UCLA students, faculty, and staff are invited to evaluate the service and offer feedback.
RSS Beta provides feeds for nearly eighty subjects based on a combination of call numbers and keywords; the subjects are also correlated with UCLA departments and programs.
Feedback can be submitted via an online form. The service will be evaluated and modified and new features implemented over the coming months.
On January 2, 2008, Option B Feeds was discontinued. Please subscribe to similar feeds from Option A to replace Option B feeds.
The decision to discontinue the Option B feeds was based on user feedback and usage statistics. Future plans include adding feeds to cover all UCLA disciplines and enabling users to create customized feeds. Further information is available in a blog post.
