Jay writes “Proquest just announced that new items added in its dissertation database are now available as RSS feeds. Excerpt from the web site: “The ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database includes over 2 million masters theses and dissertations, with over 60,000 titles added every year. It is a great resource for researchers in a wide variety of fields. Now, you can keep up with ‘what’s new’ in the database using updates in RSS format. Once you point an RSS reader at this URL, anytime a dissertation or thesis is added to the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database that matches the predefined subject terms, your website is updated automatically. Note that you can use dissertations & theses RSS Feeds regardless of whether you use the classic PQDD interface or access PQDT via the ProQuest platform. Non-subscribers will be able to see basic information about each relevant title.”

ProQuest RSS feeds
A very useful service.
http://www.proquest.com/proquest/rss/disstheses.sh tml
offers numerous feeds, in seven broad categories.
But I could not see a specific feed for Library and Information Science.
