RSS Feeds

I think that RSS feeds are useful to the individual if they have an interest in particular sites on a regular basis. I believe it would be most useful for sites that don't put up feeds everyday. For sites with everyday feeds you would be just as well served with a favorites link. For big sites such as news papers it could be useful if you can break down the feed to only those areas of interest. Having a feed to the site would save time in sifting infomation or if you are looking for particular information such as job vacancies as soon as they arise. As far as libraries are concerned, they could be of use to particular interest groups such as bookclubs or for event notification. The library could put up notifications of new aquisitons or services to the library in various areas of interest. As a way of promoting the library it is dependant on people actually being interested enough to subscribe in the first place.
