G ET STARTED ! Examples of readers Google Reader NewzCrawler FeedDemon Omega Bloglines Awasu SharpReader NewsGator Sign up, search for feeds, and subscribe! It’s THAT easy!

H OW TO CREATE YOUR OWN Many other online tools come equipped with automatic RSS feeds, including blogs and Twitter. You can also create RSS feeds using software. For example, feedforall.com has a software program that will help you generate your own feeds.feedforall.com And…manually. If you are comfortable with HTML, you can generally pick up enough XML coding to create your own RSS feeds in a.txt file. The file is then posted in your website folder on the server. The information contained in the code can be broken up into 3 basic parts: Title, Link and Description.

W HAT IS THAT ?!

P ODCASTING /V ODCASTING What they are How to use them How to get started

W HAT ARE THEY ? Podcasts are audio files that are created and sent to a server, which allows it to be converted to XML format. (ie ‘Published on the web’) Periodic Syndicated Digital media files While ‘podcast’ is used to describe any syndicated digital media file, ‘vodcast’ is most commonly used to describe video files that are syndicated through the web.

W HY DO WE CARE ? You become portable! Users can download mp3,.wav, and other files to their mp3 players, computers and other devices. You become more visible! iTunes and other mp3 programs have a high usage rate. By creating a presence on these applications, you will reach more users. You distribute information in a variety of ways! You can use appropriate technology to reach out to your patrons effectively.

Added benefits are increased visibility; there are millions of users on YouTube and Vimeo! Uploading is easy! Create an account, click ‘upload’ and follow the instructions!

W IDGETS What they are? How to use them How to get started

W HAT ARE THEY ? Basically, a portable piece of code that can be installed by anyone into a webpage without editing. They can be ‘souvenirs’ that your users can implant in their websites to connect with you more easily. In essence, users can expand your online presence by including widgets on their own web pages, profiles, etc. Networking and connecting institutions is also easy, thanks to widgets!
