Anthropology Job Search Via RSS!

Stop the presses! The AAA web site has discovered RSS feeds! And they’ve implemented them in a very useful place: job search results.

To get the RSS feeds you have to first go to the AAA Job Control Center, perform a search, then click on the RSS icon at the bottom. If you do an advanced search you need to create a “search agent” which will ask for an e-mail address (if you don’t want e-mail enter a dummy address). However, after creating the agent you have the option to “run agent” and the resulting search results will show the RSS link.

Two notes: The RSS icon is not, itself, an RSS link – but it takes you to a page which will provide you one for that search. Also, the resulting feeds all have the exact same title, so you will need to rename them in your feed reader. Still, this is a great quality of life improvement for me.
