Aggregating Education

Aggregating Education 03/11/2003 10:45 AM

I know it seems like I'm only talking about RSS these days, but that's because 1) it's beginning to hit a critical mass, 2) I very much believe libraries need to be part of this (if not leading it), and 3) it's on my mind because of my upcoming presentation with Steven Cohen on this topic.

However, it's not just me. Ken Tompkins is thinking about aggregators, too, and he's doing me one better by actually creating some. For his campus, he's currently aggregating NY Times and BBC feeds in one aggregator, Manila sites in a second aggregator, and the feeds from both aggregators into one "meta-aggregator." Ken writes:

"I have just begun to consider rss in college literature teaching.... We have a Frontier server and, of course, I know about the aggregator in both Manila and Radio.

So, I've worked out a way to aggregate our student Manila sites or, at least, the best ones as well as provide a way to aggregate news of interest to Arts & Humanities students....

These are very modest and display nothing important. I just got them working today. They need formatting and a swipe at css. For me, what is important, is that I now have a technique for aggregating sites of any flavor -- faculty, student, major, etc -- and can easily set faculty to creating similar sites for their departments."

Very impressive, Ken! This is another good experiment to watch. Is it my imagination or is education becoming an epicenter of RSS activity? Certainly more than at the BigPubs these days.

Ken describes a setup similar to what I want for Illinois libraries. For our "News Exchange Web Service" (NEWS) grant project, we're going to get four of the twelve Illinois Library Systems blogging with accompanying RSS feeds. We'll also provide individual and group aggregation inter- and intra-System, thereby creating a knowledge exchange system of unparalleled potential for communication. And that's just for starters.

Side note of personal opinion: the new Illinois Library Systems home page should be a blog with an RSS feed!

Judge Says Aggregating Content Online Is
Legal 04/09/2004 06:37 PM
This case may turn out to be a lot more important than people realize, but a judge has ruled that an aggregator of information on boat sales did not infringe the copyrights of a site they scraped for information. The judge pointed out that the aggregator only took factual info (which is not copyrightable) and the images it took weren't actually the property of the site, but those who uploaded them. This does leave open the possibility that those users could sue, but considering the fact that they're trying to sell their boats, they probably appreciate the wider exposure. Of course, all of this might not matter if Congress passes a law allowin g companies to copyright databases.

Aggregating Mail Lists, Sorting by Topic

Aggregating Mail Lists, Sorting by Topic 05/12/2004 06:54 PM

The disintegration of e-mail under the corrosive effects of spam has led many people, including me, to assume that mail lists are next to useless as ways to get information out to people. After all, spam filters trap lots of legitimate mail, and who has time to subscribe to and then read all the junk that comes in on various lists, however useful they might be. Zack Rosen just showed me a new project he and Neil Drumm have been working on, and I'm impressed. It's called Progressive Pipes, and it aggregates a bunch of progressive and left-leaning lists into an easy-to-peruse collection of "headlines," namely the subject lines. (Rosen and Drumm both developed technology for the Howard Dean presidential campaign and are now working to bring collaborative tools to a wider activist community.) Progressive Pipes breaks the messages down in several ways, including list names and topics. Among the latter, for example, are "Beat Bush" and "Civil Liberties" among others. Even better, you can subscribe to the site and its sub-categories as RSS feeds. While this is a targeted site -- aimed at one side of the political spectrum -- there's no reason that such an application couldn't be done for any kind of mailing list on any kind of topic. This is clever, and useful.

Two New, Great RSS Directories in One
Day! 06/08/2004 01:10 AM

• Really Simple Syndication: Directory of Aggregators
  "One of my goals in starting the Really Simple Syndication site was to develop a list of aggregators, and a process for keeping the list current. I'd like the vendors to participate, in several ways -- by keeping pricing and technical information about the products up to date, and to help us understand features supported by their product, and how they compare to competitive offerings. Of course, I'd like to have all the claims verified by users of the products." [Really Simple Syndication]

• Rich Site Services
  "RSS(sm): Rich Site Services is a categorized registry of library services that are delivered or provided through RSS/XML feeds. RSS is an initialism for RDF Site Summary / Rich Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication. For each entry, a hotlink is provided, when available, to a RSS (and/or XML) link for the item, or to an information page that provides a subsequent link.

  RSS(sm) is compiled and maintained by Gerry McKiernan, Science and Technology Librarian and Bibliographer, Science and Technology Department, Iowa State University Library. Ames, IA 50011."

Both of these are immediate additions to my RSS class and presentations! Aggregator users, please contribute to Dave's directory of aggregators! Librarians, please be sure to register your RSS services with Gerry so that we can keep track of all of the activity in one place. [Although, an...um... RSS feed for new additions would be of great help, too!]
