I encourage you take advantage of the UTA library's workshops on technology. Here are two upcoming sessions and there's a longer list -- that includes a Firefox session in NovemberResearch Newswire: Keeping Current in Your Field using RSS
Tuesday: Sep 22, 2-3:30 pm, Central Library, Rm. B-20
Traditionally, e-mail lists, a handful of publications, and your colleagues have kept you current with what's happening in your field. Now, there are tools that will help you hear about the latest developments. These tools bring you blog entries from academic researchers, news from your field's associations, newly published research articles and more. This session will get you started using RSS for research purposes.
