Library Web Quest

Week 6 - RSS Feeds

You have now reached Week 6, where you’ll learn about RSS feeds and how to make the most of them.

Your challenges this week:

Task 1: Learn more about RSS feeds  and their uses with the Quest Tutorial. We will use Pageflakes.com to find out more RSS feeds. Learn all about Pageflakes with this video. In what ways could libraries use RSS users? Glasgow and Loughborough are both experimenting with RSS feeds with students. And don’t forget your own Library Blog (see the newsfeeds to the right of the screen?). 

Task 2: Have a look at your favourites menu to see if any of the bookmarked sites have their own RSS feeds. Why not set up a PageFlakes account to keep track of all the headlines?

Don’t forget, you need to record your achievements in your blog!
