RSS - Thing 8

RSS is waaaayyyyyy simpler than I expected. For some odd reason I thought it would be constant live streaming video ... go figure.

The beauty of Google Reader is that it becomes your own nutshell, if you will, where you can keep little nuggets of information and view them quickly.

I like the fact that I can store my favorite newspaper sites and glance at the new stuff ever so often without wading through the things I've already read.

Google Reader is definitely going to be a keeper for me.

As far as RSS use in a library I think it would be a great way to update patrons on new things, such as telephone notification, groundbreakings, branch closures for construction, and to send out program reminders or changes.
