RSS Feeds

I like RSS feeds and newsreaders because they filter out the articles that don't interest me, leaving me with only the topics I want to read.  Both personally and professionally, this can save time.  One no longer has to read an entire newspaper to find the two stories of interest!  Libraries can use this to their advantage, too.  Rather than forcing people to visit the library's site and browse for any new developments, RSS feeds could send users things like snow closing information, new titles added this month, event announcements, or a "resource of the week" message.
