Abstract: RSS is a Web 2.0 technology that is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favourite websites. In the ‘old days’ of the web to keep track of updates on a website visitors had to ‘bookmark’ websites in their browser and manually return to them on a regular basis to see what had been added. RSS has become a valuable technology for everything from casual web users to webmasters. According to a recent Yahoo survey only 12% of internet users are aware of RSS and a mere 4% have knowingly used RSS. The paper discusses about the different aspects of RSS such as meaning of RSS, evolution of RSS, how to create RSS and how to get / read RSS Feeds including basics of XML, which is the basic language for writing programs for RSS Feeds. At the end of this paper, details of the project about the INFLIBNET’s RSS Reader is also discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1168 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The internet has become the way of life in this information society. It beings the idea of wall less/boundary less open library. Whereas, in the states like Manipur, the distant and remote corner of North East India, it is only available to few people with access to a Computer Network. The ability and facility to access web contents are very limited. Keeping this in view the present piece of study attempts to analyse the status in 48 (Forty eight) different types of libraries of Manipur. Besides this, 321 (three hundred and twenty one) users of these libraries have also been taken into account to understand how far they can use and are aware of accessibility to internet.
