RSS Feeds.

Explore: - In your blog, create an entry that reflects on what you searched for and what you found. If you are stuck, you can use these questions to help start you out:

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

It's quite simple and convenient.

What sites did you select for your RSS reader?

A whole range, from 'ABS for librarians' to 'Powerhouse Museum’s Picture of the day blog' to 'Dogreader'. At least 10 in total to date.

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work?

I suppose libraries can let people get updated information about services and events, but that would only be the beginning.

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

By implementing them into their arsenal and promoting not only library RSS feeds, but more on the events via the RSS feeds.

Did you find any good examples of other library blogs?

Sutherland's blog is quite efficient and I would say it's 'good'.
