SLA Partners with NewsGator to Deliver Free Customized RSS Feeds to Info Pros
Alexandria, Virginia, USA, 23 October 2006 – The Special Libraries Association (SLA) announced today that it has partnered with NewsGator to launch an online service that delivers RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to the desktops of thousands of information professionals. This exclusive service is free only to members of SLA, and is available at www.sla.org as part of the SLA News Connections.
“Access to online content is nothing new to our community,” said Janice R. Lachance, Chief Executive Officer of SLA. “Access to real-time RSS feeds, however, is new to the business world, and we saw this as an opportunity to expose our members to a practical solution through their SLA experience. We are thrilled that NewsGator has delivered this wonderful service for SLA and the global community of information professionals.”
SLA News Connections now includes access to open Web content driven by NewsGator’s reader. Members of SLA can access the content through the “Resources” tab on the SLA home page. Newsgator is also offering free educational Webinars and a special SLA member discount on their solutions for businesses. More information is available in the News Connections area of the SLA Web site.
“RSS is ideal for information professionals because it enables them to find, read and disseminate information much more efficiently than with traditional delivery formats,” said J.B. Holston, President and CEO of NewsGator Technologies. “The SLA’s branded reader not only helps them increase the value of the information they provide, but also exposes their members to new technologies that reduce information overload and improve communication and collaboration within their own organizations.”
Questions about SLA News Connections may be directed to Carolyn Sosnowski, Information Specialist at SLA, on +1.703.647.4914 or [email protected].
