This week took me a long time as I had no idea what an RSS feed was!, I have heard the term but I didnt know that it could be applied to the library environment in so many ways. Once I started going through this weeks activities I realised that things like dictionary.com's word of the day which I have subscibed to by email could be sent as an RSS to a feed reader. Learning about the existance of feed readers will come in handy to manage this and any other interesting feeds i find. I also checked some other libraries websites which have RSS feeds which patrons can subscibe to and found many different feeds like book lists, library news, and events.
