1. RSS feeds could be used in many ways in my library. I think doing PubMed searches as a way of keeping current is a great idea and would be helpful to the clinicians. I also think that the feeds could be used by the librarian as a way to alert patrons on important topics. It helps to keep the librarian current. It will be a good way to keep learning. I don’t think as a librarian that we can keep current without these assisting devices. There is way too much information coming at us. We can’t always leave the library to go to classes but RSS could help us in this area.
2. The patrons of the library need to use the RSS feeds for the same reasons that the librarians need to. They need to stay current in their areas of expertise, they need to keep learning, and they need these new devices because there is no other way at this time to do all this.
