RSS=Awesome

Seriously! RSS feeds are awesome. Before, I thought I didn't really have time to keep up with blogs because there are so darn many of them out there. Now, I know that I can keep up with blogs, podcasts, flickr, etc... All in one handy-dandy place. Who knew??? Well, now *I* do I guess.

This is going to save me so much time! In my professional life, this new tool will enable me to stay informed. faster. And in my personal time I will stay thoroughly entertained and be able to access all of that juicy celebrity gossip in one place! This was a fun day because I discovered some blogs that I wasn't aware of and I really delved into the world of podcasts.

CCPL should definitely figure out a way to incorporate RSS feeds into the catalog to notify our patrons about new books, DVD's, etc. We get asked this question (where is a list of your new____________fill in the blank) on a weekly, often daily basis at my branch so I know this type of service would be relevant to our patrons and make them very happy.
