I was able to finish the assignments for the first week. Very interesting! I was surprised at the amount of time I am going to have to devote to this course. Not that the time isn't well spent just that it takes so much.
I can see using RSS feeds for my own interests and I can understand how others would find them helpful. One does need to keep reminding yourself to go and check all the links I put on my bloglines account. It was harder to find a journal I was interested in following than I thought. I suppose the number with RSS feeds will increase in the future. I think patrons would like to use the PubMed search feed although I believe I am one of those who will not see their links due to proxy server interference. It was helpful to read several comments regarding that possible glitch. A question that I wondered about was the benefits of using the RSS feeds with a PubMed search vs. a MyNCBI saved search? I will have to find the other comments from my fellow students to see if the question has already been asked. For now, I will post this comment. I have a nurse in mind that would be interested in the search I just set up for her with the RSS feed. I will wait to see what I receive in the next few days before I sit down with her. Can't wait and hope I remember all this - lots of notes!
At this point, I think the funniest event was my blogging site sent me a message that my site "has been identified as a potential span blog"! Like I know enough to fulfill such potential!
On to lesson two. . .
