RSS feeds for early modern German printing

While digitalization projects are wonderful things, you also need a way to keep up with the items that are digitized after you search through the collection. The most convenient way I know to do this is through RSS feeds. I use Thunderbird as an RSS reader, so I can see what's been digitized when I check my e-mail each morning. It's especially useful if the RSS feeds are limited to specific collections or centuries, rather than including everything that a library has digitized.

After looking at all the German libraries in Klaus Graf's master list, my newly expanded list of RSS feeds includes the following:
