Okay, for our next assignment we were to use our work databases and use RSS to subscribe to a topic that interested us.
I chose masterfile and the topic was Hillary Clinton. Since I used a work computer for this part of the assignment I had to use my Google Reader account. I copied and pasted the URL of the syndication feed when prompted and voila! I started getting updates. It was quite easy actually.
For the second part of the assignment, I went to Academic Onefile and chose to be notified by email on the subject of border patrol. I have yet to actually receive any notices, but I can see how this would be a handy service to get up-to-date information from the work databases. That way you wouldn't have to keep going into the individual database periodically to check for new articles.
