I think the main issue with using one of these programs as a subject guide tool is copyright. They are typically designed to store information instead of linking to it. As we have seen by the recent lawsuit at Georgia State University, this method would probably not be appreciated by publishers (and besides, this approach would not be able to deal well with constantly updating information). All that said, maybe with some code modifications someone could make one of these tools into a pretty good subject guide tool. ha

Thanks, a very interesting article. Similar in many respects to the blog post I have written. You have covered a huge range of resources available to Librarians and this could come in very handy for an assignment I am soon to complete for University. Look forward to sharing valuable resources with you.

Have you guys explore Gregarius (http://gregarius.net). I can’t get hold of Feed Library by BlogDrive. So, I used Gregarius as an alternative Feeds Directory to provide users the listing of my database feeds.

I think digital library/repository software like the programs you mention can play an interesting role with subject guides. However, I’m not really familiar with anyone using them as a subject guide. I have seen some sites that appear to use digital library software for electronic reserves though.

Thanks for your article! Very helpful & informative. I especially liked your analysis about which solution to consider based on an institution’s staffing (and other) resources. Kudos!
