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.
