SwetsWise 4.2 with RSS - feeding you the latest information

On Saturday 6th May 2006, Swets Information Services successfully
released the 4.2 version of SwetsWise, their web-based, modular service
for the procurement, access and management of subscriptions and online
information. As well as a number of technical improvements and new
functionalities the 4.2 release is notable for the inclusion of RSS
Feeds to SwetsWise Online Content. 

The RSS feeds available will provide Table Of Contents (TOC), General
News related to SwetsWise and System Warning information. The RSS Feeds
will provide SwetsWise customers with a simple, direct and efficient
tool for obtaining the latest news and information about the journals
and articles they have subscribed to via SwetsWise. By activating the
RSS Feeds the customer will receive instant notification of any updates,
including TOC reports and new article or issue availability to all of
their electronic subscription holdings. By bringing the latest
information to the end-user's desktop at the very moment the update is
made available, these feeds will not only inform the customer of any
changes but will also provide a highly useful and valuable tool for the
day to day management, usage and research value of their subscriptions. 

"Our SwetsWise range of products continues to grow from strength to
strength. As an agent we constantly endeavour to add and develop tools
to our portfolio that will enable our customers to gain the most value
and reward from their subscriptions. The availability of RSS Feeds in
SwetsWise Online Content will aid them in that," noted Bob Visser, Chief
Information Officer at Swets Information Services.
