Check out RSS in Government. This is exactly what I was thinking about when I got an email yesterday from the California Research Bureau telling me that their reports would no longer be distributed in paper and asking if I wanted to be on their email list. If state agencies just had RSS feeds, our catalogers wouldn’t have to periodically check hundreds of websites for new content; the content would come to the library where we would be able to process it. Once that hurdle is passed, what would it take to get RSS feeds in MARC to be automatically dumped into our catalogs?!
