RSS feeds, what a concept! Instead of going to individual websites on an ongoing basis, those websites can be set up to come to you in one central location. There is a directory of free RSS feeds called Feedzilla where there are a variety of topics listed under different categories (even celebrity feeds) if you don’t have time to browse sites to add.
There are any number of ways the library could use RSS feeds. Using the news feeds would be helpful in selecting books for the “In the News” display. Including a site like Reader’s Club would help customers select new reads. Using RSS feeds on the library webpage would be a great marketing tool by providing feeds to library news, events, book lists, etc.
It would be great to tell all of our customers about RSS feeds, but I will probably start with a few friends and try to become more familiar with it myself.
