Regarding the RSS feeds on the Dewey site--if you have a WebDewey subscription, is this information automatically included?
The following RSS feeds have been available on the Dewey site since April 2005: 1) Dewey Mappings - Latest DDC mappings to other vocabularies; 2) Dewey News - Latest information about discussion papers and other news that will help you stay up-to-date with Dewey; 3) Dewey Tips - Latest tips for classifying with Dewey and using WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey in OCLC Connexion; 4) Dewey Updates - Latest DDC mappings to other vocabularies, new and changed entries, and news about Dewey Services enhancements; and 5) Dewey Journal - Latest Dewey Decimal Classification news and announcements, DDC mappings, and tips. (The Dewey Journal encompasses items from all the Dewey RSS feeds.) Visit http://www.oclc.org/dewey/syndicated/rss.htm to learn more.
Of these feeds, selected information from Dewey Mappings and Dewey Updates is integrated into WebDewey quarterly releases. Specifically, in the Dewey Updates feed, new and changed entries are added to WebDewey. In the Dewey Mappings feed, LCSH mappings are included in WebDewey. Dewey Services quarterly enhancement updates are available through Connexion news and on the Dewey web site at http://www.oclc.org/dewey/updates/enhancements/default.htm.
