RSS feeds can help me keep up with the topics that are critical to my job description and to my professional development. Also, I could use this at home to be a more delighted gardener, etc.Patrons can use this to track a favorite journal or a topic such as a search on a national patient safety goal. They could create searches (ahem, that would library staff) on topics of interest to committee or hospital goals. This is very cool stuff. The most challenging piece, though, was figuring out if a source had an RSS feed and, sometimes, figuring out how to use them.
This took a lot more time than I had anticipated, probably because I had to create searches, look up journals for feeds (I wanted ones for which I had subscriptions), etc. I'm concerned that if I have to spend this much time every week, I won't be able to finish.
Other question: I am going out of state on vacation. How can I do that week? I'll be on a mountaintop without cell phone service, etc.
