Methods for creating RSS Feeds for new books list

Feed Servers
Attensa Feed Server is designed for Enterprises with many advanced functions. All data and records are hosted in internal servers. System requirements are pretty high.

Commercial software
FeedForAll. A number of universities use this tool to make feeds, which are hosted at internal servers.

Free Blog sites
WordPress.com or Google Blogger, which is easy to realize your goals, but the feeds have to be hosted at external servers.

WordPress MU
It is the best solution for maintaining blogs and creating RSS Feeds. All feeds and blogs are hosted and run in internal servers. WordPress has been used by many universities, such as Harvard, University of Washington, North Dakota State University, and etc.

Script Languages
Perl scripts and PHP scripts can be run at internal servers to create RSS Feeds. At SDSU, I've been creating RSS Feeds for new books list using PHP scripts.
