| A ubiquitous but underutilized component of the Web 2.0 landscape, RSS allows you to track new web content without manually monitoring websites. Already a staple of blogs, wikis and social bookmarking sites, RSS feeds are now part of an increasing number of science databases, e-journals and news sites. Users can take advantage of an array of desktop, web-based or browser-integrated “readers” or “aggregators” to subscribe to the RSS feeds of their favorite websites. The reader uses the feeds to monitor the sites for new content, which is then captured by the reader to create a one-stop information delivery and management system. The value of using feeds and readers lies in information management and current awareness. For chemistry instructors and librarians, it is an opportunity to show students how to leverage new and emerging technologies to master the not-so-new challenge of keeping up with news and research in their discipline. |
