RSS

I have just set up some feeds, including the Powerhouse "Picture of the day" (which I set up with the url) but then there was a problem with the Bloglines database or an internal server error or both, so that put a stop to my additions.
I'll try again later.

As some other bloggers have mentioned, this facility could be a useful marketing tool for libraries, promoting events and linking like-minded patrons.

I belong to a couple of listservs which seem to do a similar job to RSS, although I note someone mentioned that they have to be mediated - a lot of work for a person, rather than the automated set-up of RSS.

  1. Keep trying with rss as it can be a great way of having information just delivered to you. It really is a variation on the e-mail updates.
