Well i'm on to the next part of learning RSS feeds with looking at the different search engines that they have and i must say it's a little confusing especially when you don't have anything in particular to look for...i have tried different search terms and to get the results i want was a little difficult but overall it may just be something that overtime i will pick up i guess and most of the time it may be by sheer conincidence when i'm on a website that i see that they have an RSS read that i may want to subscribe to it.
I can see the benefits of RSS feeds especially when it comes to the library and using them for our databases like EBSCO, there may be times when we are unindated with requests on a specific topic for a school project, instead of always looking up different places we could just set up a feed and update it with latest articles on that particular topic...i think overall that RSS feeds will be making there way into our everyday lives whether we choose to accept them or not..they are the way to get access to latest information in half the time.

Hi,
Yes, I agree that RSS feeds could really be beneficial in a library setting. I use a lot at home now, just to keep up with all the blogs I try and read.
Hope you are enjoying the exploring- keep up the great work, and drop me a line sometime?
Cheers
Leslie
