Outline
*These are things your students should also be looking at and can also use!
Journals as primary channels of communication and the breakdown of print format--RSS feeds for updates rather than issues,moving away from PDF, JoVE
RSS feeds--breakdown of publishing schedule
Use electronic text rather than PDF--datasets increasingly important--ManyEyes
JoVE--completely abandoning the print format, but it wouldn't have to include just video

Google Spreads - Importing Data:
First, select a cell you wish the data to appear on. Then, key in the following text:
=GoogleLookup(”entity”, “attribute”)
Entity is the name of the place, object, person or any other thing you want to look up informationon.
Attribute, meanwhile is the information you want looked up.
For instance, in this case, we want to determine the population of New York City.
=GoogleLookup(”New York City”, “population”)
(then through Many Eyes and Pipes?)
Google Spreadsheets has also introduced new data import features which allow you to import RSS feeds, HTML, comma- and tab-delimited files, and text-delimited files. You can get all the skinny on those import functions at the Google Docs documentation. The import function that really caught my fancy was the feed import function.
The syntax is =ImportFeed(URL, [feedQuery | itemQuery], [headers], [numItems]) . This basic query will fill my spreadsheet with a list of recently updated or added items at Project Gutenberg: =ImportFeed(”http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/today.rss”) . Perhaps I only want the last five items from the feed, and I want to include headers instead of only the data. The syntax would look like this: =ImportFeed(”http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/today.rss”,,true,5). (The two commas together are because I don’t have a feed or item query in use here.)
