At the request of Community Outreach Core partner Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, BU SBRP Community Outreach Core staff held a web conference on the use of RSS feeds and wikis. Staff members from numerous chapters of Physicians for Social Responsibility attended the web conference held on June 2.
The RSS portion of the presentation focused on receiving feeds to stay informed and publishing feeds to reach stakeholders. RSS feeds can be used by non-profit organizations to monitor news and academic literature in their issue areas, identify potential funding opportunities, and identify collaborative opportunities with partner organizations. The benefits of publishing RSS feeds as an alternative to email alerts were discussed.
The wiki portion of the presentation focused on the use of private wikis for collaboration. Participants learned how to choose a wiki that fits their needs as well as strategies to promote the use of wikis among colleagues.
