Dear Mr Singh,
Your presentation on RSS Feed is a window to an easier and deeper use of
internet to which most of the users should be exposed to as the growth of
new features in the post Google era is so amazing and useful for the
information seekers. Unfortunately most of the librarians remain ignorant of
such features of internet and hence cannot train their users on the easy
ways to gather information from the sites in the so dynamic internet.
We expect similar internet use familiarization presentations on similar
areas of easier web use from Mr Singh and others.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Surviving the Web Explosion: Keeping in touch
with RSS
Dear Friends,
For last two years I have been teaching Doctors and Medical Librarians
in using RSS Feeds for keeping in touch with latest information on
the web. Today I am sharing my slides on it at the following link.
http://snipr.com/23ck1
This slide show tells why RSS is better way for alerting us on latest
information being posted on web on particular area of interest. I
tried to explain what all is required for this new method. I took an
example on how to subscribe for feeds on - News (from NDTV.COM); Blogs
(Puter Suber's Blog); Open Access Repository (OpenMED@NIC -
http://openmed.nic.in ) and from a Database (PubMed).
At the end I have given an example to create "MASHUP" from RSS Feeds.
Hope it would be of your interest.
