#8 Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader

“RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and is a file format for delivering regularly updated information over the web.”
I created my own Bloglines account and have found it to be a great time saving tool. I no longer have to open a variety of different web pages to read articles of interest. I simply log into my bloglines account and all the articles are waiting for me in the one spot.
Perhaps the library could set up account on the website to feed information on current events to help students. Another use could be for feeds from different publishers or websites with reviews of new books.
See the right hand of my blog for my RSS feeds.
