Feed Aggregators | RSS | Curation

"How to Send an RSS Feed via eMail."- Good overall article on RSS as of June 18, 2013. Explains RSS, how to keep up with RSS feeds from academic journals and more.  Most of the SCF databases have RSS feeds.  Get alerts when something new on what you study or teach has been published. From ProfHacker, a great blog for keeping up with educational technology. HELPFUL HINT:  It has an RSS feed.

"RSS Feed isn't Dead : The Best Google Reader Alternatives." Good overview of RSS and compares current feed readers.

Flipboard ( iPad/iPhone/Android App-some editing and tool on browser) - turns RSS feeds and Social Media into full color, multimedia magazines. Can be read on iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, and Nook.
- "Flipboard Unpacks the Power of Social Media in the Classroom."
- Examples of FlipBoard projects


SPECIAL NOTE:  Many of the SCF Library Databases have RSS feeds that will alert you when items on specific topics or searches are published.  Examples:  SAGE Publications and EBSCO databases. Google Scholar also has an alert.

How Could I Use RSS feeds from the Library for a Course?

Have students sign in to EBSCO, Sage or other databases and select to search a topic they are researching or should be reading.  Ask that a journal, running bibliography or overview of a set time of article feeds be analyzed or summarized. Questions? Ask a Librarian. We'd be glad to build or instruct a demo.  

Scoop.it  - a curation tool. 

Social Media | Bookmarking

Pinterest - Demographically preferred by women under 50 with some college education per a recent Pew Social Media report, this social media bookmarking site is third to Facebook and Twitter.
