Re-broadcasting of bibliographic catalogues in MARC-XML format

By using MARC-XML to modify the RSS code format, the technique habitually used by the media in rebroadcasting news can also be used for bibliographical catalogues. Among other things, this procedure offers the advantages of improved dissemination of contents, sharing catalogues with other libraries, and allowing user downloads of catalogues. Researchers performed an array of trials to measure the building and recovery times for such bibliographical collections, while determining the sort of applications and functions needed to control these files. These experiences allow researchers to conclude that it is possible to generate, transmit and retrieve bibliographical catalogues using content syndication practices and methods.
