New e-journals by RSS: a page for your subject…

leave a comment

…whether the subject is food or finance, or – in theory – any keyword you want, you can filter the RSS feed of new e-journals by constructing a link that looks like this:

Where “XXXXXXXXX” is your subject word.

That link creates html which you could link to within Blackboard (see illustration below – click for bigger). Or, to get the titles as RSS, just add &_render=rss to the end of the URL.

This is done using Yahoo! Pipes.
