ELM Productivity Tools–23 Things Step #17
Posted by Donovan on April 14, 2008
Step #17 of the 23 Things on a Stick program concerns ELM productivity tools. I couldn’t get the RSS feed to work, probably because of the known problems with web-based aggregators (I use Google Reader). I’ve thinking of moving to a PC-based solution and this may push me over the edge.
I’ve been using the personal folder in EBSCO for awhile now but was not aware of the web page composer functionality. I’m pretty impressed at how it allows you to create simple but effective websites to provide access to search results and serve as a portal for further searching. I think the Help information needs to be beefed up a little to explain to non-techies what you can do with your page since there is no web-hosting. Better yet, EBSCO should provide some basic webhosting so that users can save their pages directly “to the web”. That would be very cool.
I learned something new about ELM!
