RSS

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

What I like most about RSS and newsreaders is that I can synthesize my reading(s) into one area. I especially like google's because I can read my feeds regardless of what computer I'm using. This is very convenient for me, to keep abreast of my reading whether I'm on the home desktop, my lap top or my work computers.

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your library or personal life?

I think this technology is very useful for any library because there are blogs for most types of employment types. There are even some cool dewey blogs! I like the also like the medical library blogs.

How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?

Obviously libraries can take advantage of RSS by pushing updated info out to their customers by keeping their own blogs or by subscribing to relevant blogs out there that will keep the librarian abreast of relevant information.
