Week 11 is finished!  Library 2.0 training has flown by as most aspects of life seem to do these days.  For part one I searched nutrition on the Health Source database and put the feed into my Bloglines account with no problems.  I searched Library 2.0 for part two and also had no issues adding it to my growing list of feeds.

I think students doing a large research paper would really benefit from this service.  The alerts pretty much do the research for you and what stress ridden academic wouldn't appreciate that?  I think information on database feeds should be added to the homework help area and the teen page of hpl.ca.  We all know that the younger folk know far more than we do and would love the extra help with school work.  I have some friends working on their thesis and would have ADORED a service like this during the many months of research.

As information folk I'm sure we can find numerous uses for these feeds - regular searches made easier, curriculum based searches and so much more I'm sure!
