Week five case studies

Seattle Public Library - (feeds for searches from the catalogue) 

Well my first impression of this site is that it's ugly, it's also not imediatly appairent to me exactly what I'm looking at. After a quick assessment however it does become appairent that the feed actually is quite interesting and is exactly what I was talking about earlier as being a terribly useful application of RSS feeds for public libraries... In conclusion Seattle wins, however they could maybe change their layout a little.

Vendors: EBSCO RSS Feeds 

This was actually a very useful feed, especially in light of the content for this course.I probably should have checked this out last week.

Vendors: Engineering Village 2 RSS 

Another good site to keep in mind when I head out into the world and try to pretend I know something about computers.

This site is quite sharp with a lot of interesting applications. I really liked the course syllabus option, not to mention the library and facutly pages. I was really very wowed by this site. Very sharp and practicle, they seem to be very early adaptors of this technology. I will definetly be returning to this site.
