Information workers depend on easy access to timely, relevant information, but current methods of finding information such as asking the librarian, searching the Web or internal Web pages, going to premium content providers’ sites, or subscribing to e-mail newsletters are not without problems. Furthermore, content is often siloed, e-mail inboxes are overflowing, and users are reluctant to learn new technologies. As a result, many companies suffer from a number of problems, including the following:
- Information overload
- Lost productivity
- Diminished customer service
- Overtaxed library and information resources staff
RSS has emerged as an alternative delivery platform because the user gets only relevant content, is notified automatically when new content arrives, and is not required to learn new technologies. With more than 50 million blogs and with the vast majority of news sites and premium content providers publishing in RSS, most of the content your stakeholders rely on is available in this format. With centrally administered "enterprise RSS" systems, librarians and other administrators can act on behalf of users and subscribe them to content automatically. This Click U Live! seminar will help you quickly get up to speed with RSS, understand the primary use cases, build an internal business case for it, and learn best practices in deploying it.
Part 2
In part 2 of this Click U Live! seminar, we will discuss strategies for building a business case and securing business owners for RSS projects. We will also highlight some best practices in how to ensure a successful RSS project.
Targeted Learners
This Click U Live! seminar is designed for librarians and information professionals who are interested in learning ways to improve the way information is retrieved, shared, and disseminated in their organizations.
