RSS Feeds

Wow!! How obscure was this for the baby boomer...I bravely thought that I could understand this but it is like jumping off the precipice...shades of reading Peter Straub's novels come back to haunt me again!



Anyway...I have subcribed to the food and art bloglines and got an instant gratification. However...I couldn't find the OPAL training blog to subscribe to it in time to complete this exercise adequately.


So now, whenever I am in need of comfort food I will find recipes to devour and images of art to stimulate my love of the visual. The alerts will be of interest I am sure, but I probably should have searched for new job postings and RSS feeds in Scotland, which is one of my dreams for the future. Ooops! Did I say that!


The use of RSS feeds in a library setting would be particularly useful. Especially where there is a need to monitor digital collection use and feedback. A simpler way to link to updates on subject content instead of having to troll through endless web sites for relevant content. A great tool for studying too I would think! That is another thing I should be doing...
