Done and Dusted - RSS feeds

I found the tutorial from Palinet and the YouTube video extremely helpful in understanding about RSS feeds, however what I found most frustrating was the online tutorial that gave you instructions on how to set up a Blogline account and how to subscribe to various newsfeeds. Although the tutorial was great once you understood it, the amount of time spent flicking between screens to get the instructions was very time consuming and frustrating. However once my Blogline account was set up and I subscribed to my first newsfeed TVNZ I could read about news that occurred within 24 hours just brilliant, boy talk about keeping up to date with breaking news stories.

I found that RSS feeds allow you to get the lastest news/content right away without searching the web and arrives in a form that is compatible with your computer so you don't have to worry about not being able to read the information. Libraries can use RSS feeds to notify patrons of new acquistions, library events, and providing a link to the library website or other websites appropriate to the interest of their patrons.
