New arrival updates

How does it work?

Sign up (for free) with Bloglines, a web-based service that allows you to amass links to databases that post regular updates via an RSS "feed." View the updates at your leisure. The Stanford Libraries RSS feedlist generates lists of newly-cataloged titles each day. Once you have viewed a list it automatically disappears.

How do I start?

Once you have established a Bloglines account, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Bloglines account.
2. Click on the tab called "My Feeds"
3. Select "Add"
4. Open another browser window and go to the Stanford Libraries RSS feedlist.
5. Choose "New Items from Socrates--15 entries" or "New Items from Socrates--up to 500 entries from last 30 days"
6. Right-click on "Music" under Branch Libraries and select "Copy Shortcut" (in IE) or "Copy Link Location" (in Firefox/Netscape)
7. Go back to Bloglines and paste the link in the "Subscribe" box.

What next?

The Stanford Music Library "feed" will update daily. Click on a title and view the Socrates record. "In process" items may be requested by clicking "request this item."

Please note:

You may add links to your Bloglines account to any site that provides an RSS feed. See, for example, Billboard Online, and note the "RSS" in the links at the very bottom of the page.

While the majority of titles cataloged each day are "new," you will notice in the Music Library feed some older titles as well. We continually process older uncataloged materials received as gifts or from prior acquisitions.

This new service continues to develop. Your feedback is appreciated!

Sound & video recordings may also be tracked in Socrates, using the Socrates "Call Number Browse" tab.
