RSS Feeds

It has been a long time since I have posted to this blog. I am trying to catch up on my Library 2.0 lessons. I actually have been using RSS feeds for a while now, but neglected to post about them. I found that it really saves me checking every day for new information in some of my more obscure genealogical searches. Also, I have enjoyed following current news stories of interest. I can see that a library could set up their own blog to be accessed by patrons through an RSS feed, notifying them of timely new information. I can also see RSS feeds being very useful to help a patron discover items very quickly regarding a subject they are researching. Well, it's on to the next lesson!
