Workshop 10 — Integrating RSS into Your Web Site

1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Michael Sauers, Technology Innovation Librarian, Nebraska Library Commission

RSS feeds are an excellent way to receive information from the Internet. What many people don’t know is that you can receive that information and easily repurpose and republish it on your Web site with little technical knowhow. Imagine automatically posting up-to-date local or industry headlines on your library’s home page. This is what you can do in just a few simple steps. Our expert Internet trainer shows you how. This workshop also covers additional RSS tools and services, including one that will create feeds from content without its own feed and another that will turn your text-based content into a podcast automatically.
