MLA CE Web 2.0 Week 1: RSS

Our library is using RSS feeds to provide news about new products and news about our building renovation. We are planning to use it to give updates about new books added to the collection. I could use it to send news to the liaisons in my departments, as well as to faculty, staff, and students. For example, we could put a link to the feeds in online course pages.

Our patrons can use RSS feeds to send themselves search updates from databases and table of contents. Faculty could send information about their departments to prospective new students.
