When I graduate from Full Sail, I would like to obtain a CAPM (Certified Associate Project Manager) certificate and a post-graduate certificate in Digital Publishing. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to transition my career to work for an educational publisher -- one of the big publishers that has an academic division or a small university press -- who is going digital with its offerings.

So, based on this interest, I have selected about 10 RSS feeds, some generic and some specific, that carry content regarding technology in general and digital publishing in specific. In brief, here are the top seven (??? -- just worked out to an odd number):

The Journal of Electronic Publishing (JEP)

An Open Source (OS) journal dedicated to "research and discussion about contemporary publishing practices, and the impact of those practices upon users. Contributors and readers are publishers, scholars, librarians, journalists, students, technologists, attorneys, retailers, and others with an interest in the methods and means of contemporary publishing. JEP aspires to document the changes in publishing, and in some cases to stimulate and shape the direction of those changes. The articles present innovative ideas, best practices, and leading-edge thinking about all aspects of publishing, authorship, and readership. The editor and publisher are committed to presenting wide-ranging and diverse viewpoints on contemporary publishing practices, and to encouraging dialogue and understanding between key decision-makers in publishing and those who are affected by the decisions being made."
