#6 RSS

It could become addictive, more time focussed on the latest news than on work, like email it can becomes a distraction or the central focus of work. Essentially it is all about time management.

Uses in the library setting:

• For the public we would need to establish the infrastructure behind the RSS feed to put regular messages to the public pcs.
• For regular users and at home users we should be encouraging users to get RSS feeds for their favorite journals or regular search from databases and revisiting the "new books" discussion as a feed from the catalogue
• Wishlist item would include ability to RSS information on delivery of collection items to users, especially as txt to their mobile phones & laptops.
