One Search RSS feeds

If you haven't tried it yet go to One search and once you have a search strategy you like click on the RSS feed button. You can then use this feed url for a customised rss feed box in libguides for all sorts of things. I have used it recently for books on specific topics like education, journalism, poscolonial narratives etc. It is not as pretty as having a featured book with a nice book cover but if you sort it by latest then it will show new additions from the catalogue with little effort on your part.

Here are some examples:

• http://libguides.jcu.edu.au/content.php?pid=96188&sid=720118#2654773
• http://libguides.jcu.edu.au/content.php?pid=81862&sid=685829#2656320

RSS feeds

There was some discussion about whether it would be possible to set up an RSS feed to the A-Z Template guide to keep track of any changes or additions that may require action for other guides. Unfortunately Springshare have confirmed that it is only possible to set up an RSS feed to a guide that has the status of Published, and we do not want to publish the A-Z Template because then it would appear in our LibGuides Home page. Until we come up with a better solution I will post messages to this blog about any major changes or additions to the template, and small updates will continue to appear in all your linked content boxes.

Faculty blogs

Two updates:
1. The Template LibGuide name has been changed to A-Z Template so you don't have to scroll down so far to link your content boxes
2. I have added RSS feed content boxes for each of the faculty blogs on the Home page

JCU's research via Scopus Affiliated

There is a new content box in the template that lists JCU's latest research via a Scopus RSS feed - see JCU's latest research
You can create your own feed for subject areas, authors, years, or document types or link to this one that covers all of JCU via the Affiliation Search option.
