How do I think I can use RSS feeds at my library? I think I can use RSS feeds to link to sources I use for book reviews, to learn about trends and developments in medical research and libraries, and to develop and learn to customize the library and learn about what services are available. I can use RSS feeds to quickly learn about changes in how library services are used, easy quick access to case studies on ideas that were used and tried, and I can use them to keep up with the news about what is going on. By being selective about which RSS feeds I subscribe to, I can only pay atention to the RSS feeds I trust and ignore the overwhelming load of information I don't have use for. RSS feeds can be used to find ideas on how to cope with budget cuts, downsizing, inaccurate perceptions, and other problems the library is facing by seeing what other libraries have done to cope. The RSS feeds might also be a valuable source of information on newly emerging technologies. How do you find out if a new technology is worth acquiring if you don't know who is comfortable using it? An RSS feed might also help a librarian gather information on what the customers want to see in a library and what they are comfortable using.
How might library patrons use RSS feeds? They can subscribe to the library feed and find out immediately how library services are changing, what they can do with the library services, they can find out when the library subscribed to a new database that a patron might want, and they can learn when new library instructional sessions are coming up. They can subscribe to library news, research news, ideas on how to do research and evaluate the credibility of their sources, and they can learn to efficiently use library services. Patrons can also use RSS feeds to receive instruction on library services and adapt the instruction to changes that take place in the library. They can also use RSS feeds to quickly receive updates on information that changes quickly. Medical discoveries and regulations change and researchers need to know quickly. Laws change and legal RSS feeds can quickly alert people on the changes. Patrons can subscribe to RSS feeds to track their area of interest and learn what new literature and trends are taking place.
