RSS - Really Simple NOT!

RSS is still a bit confusing to me, but I can definitely see a couple of advantages. Trying to keep up with what's new in certain areas. Getting feeds every day can give you the headlines. You can scan through and see what's happening. You can click and read in more detail if you want. You can read only the article and not the comments. Although reading the comments can be amusing. I usually find that I keep reading comments and some can stray away from the topic. So far, I've only subscribed mainly to books and movie feeds (we are more than books at BPL!) That will keep me up-to-date on new releases of those. Using RSS for BPL patrons - patrons can subscribe and get up-to-date news on what's new in the library or about upcoming programs. In fact, using RSS in these ways was mentioned at the recent CAL conference I attended.
