RSS: More library & education applications

• Many journals provide feeds for their tables of contents.
  • My list (somewhat abandoned when I changed jobs)
  • U of Saskatchewan's list (bigger & better!)

• RSS feeds can be integrated into courseware such as Blackboard and WebCT.

• You can easily create a current events feed for a topic using Google News: just perform a search, and click the RSS link on the left-hand side of the page to be notified when there are new stories on that topic.

• RSS feeds can be displayed as headlines on a library web page using a utility like Feed2JS.
  • Edwards Public Library (Southampton, MA)
