Week 4: RSS & Newsreaders 8 & 9

What a wonderful tool, I couldn't believe the number of RSS links just by typing in a subject and RSS in the "Google Search" box. I certainly found hundreds when I listed "Cars" and yes I did narrow the search down to "Rover", not a lot of hits.

I managed to add 6 feeds to my bloglines account, the "ABC television guide" has the most feeds - the information is up to date and concise - you don't have to waste time searching for various sites to read. I have seen on various sites "RSS, XML or ATOM and the orange box never knew what they were and thanks to "Library 2.0" I now know, will certainly investigate the RSS link when I am teaching my Internet students at Rosanna Library.

I had a play searching for RSS in relation to Libraries, found the University of Oklahoma Libraries has a pilot project , they have a select content which is available through the RSS.. What a wonderful opportunity where individuals can access the RSS for a particular subject and the RSS brings up the relevant books - perhaps YPRL could have a RSS feed!

You could get really addictive with "RSS" and in this very busy world we live in this new technology is brillaint!!!!
