RSS FEEDS
RSS feeds help librarians develop professionally by allowing quick access to information via subscription to RSS feeds at sites such as Libraryjournal.com and School Library Journal.
Teaching students how to research using RSS feed would allow teachers to supply links to accepted content area web sites, aggregated and accessible via an RSS feed. The library RSS feed to research methods, like the Big 6 to name one, would work in concert with the content area teacher’s selections to help students complete their research.
RSS feeds can be useful for students to keep updated on upcoming library events and programs posted on the library web page. For example, last year we had the Orange County Mexican American Historical Society (OCMAHS) host and present a photo history of Mexican-American life in Santa Ana at our library in the evening. Our evening classes participated in the event. Also, our Social Studies and Foreign Language departments signed up to bring students to the lectures for the two days OCMAHS hosted the presentations during school hours.
