RSS Feeds

Well I have had some trouble grasping this lesson but after much help from the more computer savvy members of our team I finally managed.   
The RSS feeds I chose were -   
                                                       google news
                                                       thewest/news
                                                       thewest/entertainment
                                                       you tube
                                                       cockburn library
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
I chose the first two as they keep me up to date on local and national news and it is good to be informed on these events when working in a library. The entertainment one, to keep up with the latest movies. I had to have five so stuck you tube in there.

I have just discovered the library’s RSS feed and like the idea of being able to choose an author, subject, music or latest DVD’s and be advised on what the library has and of new stuff that comes in.  You can also keep up to date with current library events. For those like me who didn’t know about this function, you go to the catalogue and search for something you’re interested in and the results page will have the RSS icon or in case of events click on current events to show icon.
