RSS Feeds at my Library

I can see a number of uses for RSS feeds at my library - keeping up with news from the major library associations, subscribing to TOC feeds from some major journals to keep up with the publication of book reviews for collection development, keeping up with news from the specialized associations in my subject areas. I can definitely see the benefits of the library creating an RSS feed for our patrons. It seems like such a simple way to notify people who choose to subscribe about library news (this database is down/back up, look for this new feature on our website, here is a great search tip, sign up for our workshops, etc.) Both from a marketing angle and from an educational angle, this is a clever way to reach our patrons and to keep ourselves informed.
