Thing 8

RSS is definitely an easy way for librarians to keep in constant reach of library trends, information, and current events. Additionally, librarians can use RSS feeds to get Pod Casts of library related workshops and ceminars. Additionally, libraries can create their own RSS feeds to connect with their patrons. RSS is a very useful tool for reference all around.

However, RSS, like any other computer application, begins during start up and therefore drains power away from the processor. In short, multiple RSS feeds attached to your computer will make it run slower…especially if you have an older model.
