Provide Inbound Newsfeeds

There are existing (and emerging) sources of information available elsewhere on the web that might be of interest to our users. Ideally we'd provide them with:

• Portlet(s) showing the most recent content from feeds of interest
• Ability to search across feed content
• Ability to aggregate feed query results into a single custom portlet
• Point and click to create a PleiadesBibliography record from a feed item, and add a citation to it anywhere we allow bibliographic citation
• Point and click to create a [Suggestion] based on a feed item, together with a bibliographic citation as above
