E-LIS
In the past I've mentioned dLIST, Digital Library of Information Science and Technology. Here is the current scope of the dLIST collection:
Researchers and practitioners in LIS and IT create a wealth of content not limited to formal papers. To capture this wealth of information and create a library that is as useful as possible, DLIST will contain materials will include a variety of formats. These will include but not be limited to:Published and unpublished papersData setsInstructional and helpmaterialsPathfindersReportsBibliographies
At this time, DLIST is only able to accept materials in English.
The E-profile by Gerry McKiernan in the recent
Library Hi Tech News brought E-LIS, E-Prints in Library and Information Science, to my attention. They describe their service as:
E-LIS is an open access archive for scientific or technical documents, published or unpublished, on Librarianship, Information Science and Technology, and related application activities. E-LIS archive's goal is to promote communication in this field by the rapid dissemination of papers.
There seems to be some overlap. One nice feature in E-LIS is the ability to receive notices of new papers in a general area via e-mail. This would be a natural for an RSS feed, maybe later. E-LIS currently has over 800 papers, while dLIST has only about 100 items.
