How do you think you could use RSS feeds at your library?
RSS can be very useful in my library by providing updated information of health realated topics that are commonly asked in the reference desk. Specially new drugs that are being introduced for various diseases or new treatments to treat patients. It would minimize the time used to go to different websites to keep up with new medical research and technologies aftecting the medical world. Simplifies research methods instead of going to the website for new and updated information, the information comes to me.
How do you think patrons could use RSS feeds?
Patron can use RSS feeds in various ways, either for personal or professional reasons. RSS helps patrons keep on top of new materials being added to their favorite websites and that way they don't have to waste time browsing through the different websites trying to figure out was is new. It makes it easier for them when it comes to the things they are interested in.

By having a RSS feed they don't have to waste time browsing through a site, they get that information brought directly to them.
