Re: [LIS-Forum] Google Reader/ RSS Feed

Dear Friends, I don't know how to react to Rajan's comments. However I find many Professionals active on net. Well !!, most of them are from the younger generation. I liked your idea on sharing knowledge among ourselves. BTW, Some of you have written to me that there were problems in downloading the presentation from http://snipr.com/23ck1 ( i.e Latest presentation from http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi/ ). I can not say what could be the problem. It seems, only few people are facing this problem; otherwise it has already reached into the most popular category ( http://www.slideshare.net/popular/ ) I can also email the PPT file if required. Thanks, --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 7:26 PM, Rajan wrote:

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.

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. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.
