Info Lit meets Web 2.0: IL and RSS feeds at LSE

I must earn my free copy of this book by carrying on my posts about each chapter:
Ch 8 Information literacy and RSS feeds at LSE
Christopher Fryer and Jane Secker

This chapter describes how RSS has been used at LSE to enhance access to training courses for staff and students by bringing together information from different training providers in the institution into one training portal. The data is automatically displayed in chronological order and users can filter the list tailored to their interests. The aggregating programme generates new RSS feeds which can be displayed in the VLE and on plasma screens around the university. Very neat! I wish we had this at Newcastle.
