Announcing _B-Feeds(sm): Web Feeds for Books and Monographs_ I am pleased to announce the creation and availability of a registry devoted to Web Feeds for Books and Monographs. The site, called _B-Feeds(sm)_ is available at: [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/B-Feeds1.htm ] _B-Feeds(sm): Web Feeds for Books and Monographs_ is a categorized registry of site that offer RSS/XML, Atom, or other Web feeds, to compilations, directories, lists, or reviews for academic or scholarly books or monographic works. I have seeded _B-Feeds(sm)_ with several major General sources and a few specialized ones. _B-Feeds(sm)_ is a companion to _eFeeds(sm)_ [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/eFeeds.htm ], my registry devoted to electronic journals that offer Web feeds. Each of these are adjuncts to my original Web feeds registry _RSS(sm): Rick Site Services_ , devoted to library services that are delivered or provided through Web feeds. _RSS(sm)_ is available at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ]. Those who wish to learn more about Web feeds and their current and potential uses may wish to consult a General Bibliography that I prepared for my RSS(sm) site. The bibliography is available via the RSS(sm) site or directly at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/GenBib.htm ] and currently includes full-text links for all entries. For _B-Feeds_, I am greatly interested in identifying additional sources that offer/provide Web feeds to "compilations, directories, lists, or reviews for academic or scholarly books or monographic works" in Any and All subject areas. I am *particularly* interested in feeds from publishers/booksellers/vendors, etc. for specialized fields (e.g., Architecture, Engineering, Zoology). [As time permits, I plan to systematically review various publisher directories for publishers that offer Web feeds, but would like to first populate _B-Feeds(sm)_ with sources that are known and used by my Web colleagues. Thanks!] To Spread The Word: Please FORWARD this posting to Any and All book/publisher related e-lists to which you subscribe. Thanks A Million!
