Discovery Exercise
What do you like about RSS and Newsreaders?
Besides the fact that the information comes to me and I no longer have to go searching for it, I receive information on related topics that I may have missed/not necessarily have searched for.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your personal life?
Along with being an invaluable tool for my studies both at Polytechnic and university, my RSS feeds allow me to get news and updates on my other personal interests such as the Parks and Wildlife Service website and their walking and weather updates.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this technology?
Libraries can set up feeds for news and events to do with the library world and post this information on their websites/notice boards in the library.
Libraries can set up client specific RSS feeds/newsreaders to also post on their websites/notice boards. This could also include client/community socioeconomic information. ie; in areas of high refugee populations the library could have feeds coming in regarding literacy tutoring.
Libraries can offer to help/teach clients to set up their own RSS feeds/newsreaders for client specific information.
Good work Margaret
