“Integrating RSS Feeds of New Books into the Campus Course Management System” article published in Computers in Libraries 2006 October 10

The article, “Integrating RSS Feeds of New Books into the Campus Course Management System,” that Heather L. Moulaison and I have been working on has been published in the October 2006 issue of Computers in Libraries. It happens to be the “free HTML” article of the month and can be viewed online at: http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/oct06/Corrado_Moulaison.shtml. Of course, the HTML view of the article isn’t the best since the graphics and print layout are missing. If you really want to see it, buy yourself a copy of CiL (or subscribe), find one in a library, or look in an online database that includes a pdf view. If you have access to EBSCOhost’s Academic Search Premier database, this link should take you there.

The citation to the article is:

How does the licensing of the text work? Can you put a nicely formated copy of the article on this here website?

The agreement we signed gives the publisher exclusive rights for 90 days (I think it is 90 anyway). After that time is up, I can put the content up on my website. If I want to place a formated PDF copy of how it appears in Computer in Libraries, we have to pay a small fee. I’m not sure if we are going to do that yet. It would be nice to have the PDF copy, as it looks great in the magazine, but it is also nice not to spend money. There are a few other limitations as well with using the Computers in Libraries logo and such (although nothing unreasonable), but as far as the actual content goes, after the time period is up, Heather and I can do what we want with it. – ecorrado
