Topic: "Create a free online Bloglines account for yourself and subscribe to at least 10 newsfeeds to your reader."

Q: What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

A: Really Simple Syndication and newsreaders for RSS feeds can save effort when one would otherwise repeatedly seek the same news sources out individually.

Q: How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work or personal life?

A: In either case I can set up RSS feeds to content sources that interest me, and read them when Internet access and time allow. For work, content sources could include feeds from colleagues and industry authorities for professional development. For personal life, content sources would include providers of recreational content.

Q: How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?

A: CML exemplifies using RSS to provide catalog updates to users of newsreaders. CML could add similar content feeds regarding library programs. The staff of a library can take advantage of newsreaders for professional development.
