RSS

I do not think that my blog about RSS was completed properly so I am doing another one.
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. I subscribed to five and none were to a library as I could not find a library that is using RSS. The services that I could find that are using RSS are news services eg nine msn, seven news and the ABC. RSS is a system that allows news to be given in a truncated form, just giving the main points, eg giving the football scores & the best players but not giving much details about the game. I find that RSS is a good way to obtain information quickly and easily, therefore helping me to keep in the loop, especially when I do not have a lot of time up my sleeve.

Libraries can utilise this facility to either send out or receive information. They can establish RSS and load information about what is going on, what is available and what is events are coming up at the library. People want to be able to find information quickly and easily and not to spend a lot of time having to read a long worded message.
