RSS Feeds

Wow what an eye opener. I just created a RSS Feed. I really like the common craft film that explains the RSS feeds. It was easier to understand it once I watched the film. So I subscribed to photo of the day and opal training of course and a couple of other library blogs. I also went nuts in the top 50 subscribes and picked a lot for my RSS.

For library purposes I would love to use it for promotions in a library. For eg. Latest information on Children's Book Week, Summer Reading Club, Library and Information Week. Especially when waiting for themes it would be great to get them all from one place instead of always searching different websites. As soon as a theme was decided from the chiefs above the information would reach me straight away and allow me more time to plan displays and such.......

I think I will create another one for work only for the above reason. Thanks for the insight on this one. It will make my job as promotions officer much easier.
