NARCIS, the Dutch gateway to Dutch scientific information
(www.narcis.nl) that gives access to all Dutch repositories (formerly
known as DAREnet), offers a rss feed based on your search. 
So here you can easily save a search for new items in repositories of
your choice and get future results.

Thanks for that response, Ian.  The core concepts may be in place, yes,
but the fact remains that after $millions of expenditure on
repositories, I (or rather the researchers I serve) can't, without
considerable effort and some know-how, easily scan new items appearing
in multi-repositories, or easily save a search for new items in
repositories of their choice and scan futureresults.

Which is shurley a mishtake.  Something vaguely similar to TweetDeck,
but containing new repository materials, would surely do more for the
repository cause than...well...an awful lot of other things.
