Comments on: EBSCOhost and ScienceDirect Blocking RSS re-syndication? http://davidrothman.net/2009/04/28/ebscohost-and-sciencedirect-blocking-rss-re-syndication/ Health Information | Geekery Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:49:12 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Michele M http://davidrothman.net/2009/04/28/ebscohost-and-sciencedirect-blocking-rss-re-syndication/comment-page-1/#comment-201080 Michele M Mon, 04 May 2009 21:49:06 +0000 http://davidrothman.net/?p=2527#comment-201080 In working with Judson Dunham (above) at Elsevier, they've worked out the recent bugs with their RSS feeds timing out, and servers needing to be reset. Things should be working as expected now. Resyndicating feeds should NOT be a problem on ScienceDirect. Thank you for listening and getting the problem fixed, Judson Dunham! I am also working with EbscoHost to solve the problem with feeds that seem to time-out and don't refresh. Thanks, David, for posting my query in the first place.

I cannot guarantee our feeds will work in all services but this is in principle something we support. Please always contact the ScienceDirect Helpdesk via the contact form on ScienceDirect if you are experiencing any problems with SD--usually we can help, and we cannot read all blogs to identify these issues! For anyone reading this who is experiencing this issue please contact me directly at my first initial dot my last name @ elsevier.com.

I've been having what I assume is the same or very similar problem. I get the feeds directly from SD or EBSCOhost, then use rssinclude (www.rssinclude.com) to create javascript so that I can add a page in our course management system. The feeds work when I set them up, but yesterday quit working - it looked like they had expired. Today they are magically back but I feel like I can't count on them. I'd love to hear any solutions or explanations. YES! I’ve been having what I assume is the same or very similar problem.

Have you heard about ticTOCs, a table of contents management site from UK? It may answer part of the RSS question.
