RSS

I signed up for a few RSS feeds at Bloglines. Bloglines is really a timesaving tool if you happen to monitor the same sites every day, several times during the day. I am still a very old-fashioned person, so I read (gasp!) the paper and don't really need to be up-to-date at all times. I get to read bad news soon enough and really, I don't greatly care about people blogging... However, I can see that for a library this could be a very good tool to inform people of new materials or events. It would be convenient to not have to search the catalog to see if a certain bestseller has arrived in the library or find out about a program happening at the library. Is there a plan to add an RSS feed to our website?
