Easy route to industry news and jobs
Two new, free services will make it much easier to scan the latest industry news and jobs announcements from top sources in engineering, mathematics and computing.
Two new, free services will make it much easier to scan the latest industry news and jobs announcements from top sources in engineering, mathematics and computing.
The new services are so easy to use that they have been named OneStep Industry News, and OneStep Jobs News.
Using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology, the OneStep services aggregate the very latest headlines and announcements from top sources and present them in an easily accessible format.
Only the very latest industry and news headlines are included in the OneStep services, and by following direct links, the complete full text is available from participating publishers' own websites, in "one step".
"The two new OneStep services fill several important gaps in information availability", says Michael Breaks, Heriot Watt University Librarian, and EEVL Director.
"Many people know and use general news sources such as CNN, BBC News, and so on, but there is a distinct lack of awareness of sector-specific news services.
Not only that, but the various excellent sources of industry news which do exist are spread out on the Internet at various locations.
OneStep Industry News is an aggregator, or intermediation service, which gathers together in one place news items from a number of top sources, and makes them immediately available.
OneStep Jobs provides a similar function for the latest job announcements.
Instead of having to visit numerous recruitment sites at different locations, OneStep Jobs allows those looking for jobs in engineering, mathematics and computing to browse the latest vacancies from several top sources.
If a job vacancy looks to be of interest, full details are only one click away at the source site".
Included in OneStep Industry News are headlines from: e4engineering.com, Buildingtalk, Manufacturingtalk, Electronicstalk, Nature - Materials Update, Moreover, LTSN Engineering, LTSN Materials, the Institute of Physics (Optics.org News, Fibers.org News, Nanotechweb.org News, Compoundsemiconductor.net News), scenta, LTSN Maths, The Register, Slashdot, Nanodot, and general technology newsfeeds such as BBC Tech News and CNN Technology.
More sources will be added in the future.
Included in OneStep Jobs News are announcements from Jobsite, theengineerjobs.co.uk, jobs.ac.uk, Institute of Physics (Nanotechweb.org Jobs), and Perl Jobs.
More sources will be added in the future.
The simple OneStep interface allows scanning of all news/jobs items, and also news/jobs items clustered by subject heading (eg all engineering job announcements can be scanned separately, and likewise all computing job, or maths job, announcements can be scanned separately).
In addition, items from any one individual source can be scanned separately.
As well as facilitating the scanning of industry news headlines and job announcements, an archive of recent items can also be searched via the OneStep services.
Complete listings of news and job items are available at the participating source websites.
The OneStep services are based on development work funded by the JISC (The Joint Information Systems Committee) through the PALS Metadata and Interoperability Projects.
