RSS - This is Bliss - Ready Steady Start!

Hi Folks

I have just discovered how handy RSS feeds - instead of trawling through websites, looking for updates and re-reading information, you can subscribe to RSS feeds and just have the latest information sent to you! Saves time as well as data allowances and you get the latest information on exactly what you are after! How handy is that! So what have I subscribed to? Well information on George Clooney, Art deco, travel information on Lithuania to help plan my next overseas trip exploring my heritage.

Setting up an RSS feed can be an useful tool for libraries to engage their patrons. Information releases about latest books, favourite topics, authors, latest databases as well as promotions within the library - just the thing for time-poor patrons.
