The role of software agents in the provision of personalised news is explored in the context of the NewsAgent for Libraries project, which has been developed as a prototype and is about to launch a new free news alerting service for library and information staff. The issues that have arisen as the project moves from the research phase to service implementation are described, along with the prospects for the planned service.
