Another week, I've looked at Flickr and the mashups. Librarian trading cards do absolutely nothing for me. I've set up Bloglines and found all kinds of technology feeds, environmental feeds, news feeds, movie review feeds. This I think I'll like. If people are avid readers and library users I would bet they'd like like an RSS feed to let them know when a book on a favourite topic or by a favourite author has been catalogued. I wonder how we could do this. The other thing I'm working on are the specs for new computers. Vista models are more expensive than XP Pro machines but the XP Pro machines will be very outdated in two or three years...

Wow, Library Owl---you are ambitious. I need to look into these things and will follow your trail.

I'd like us to develop some method of letting patrons know about new books on their favourite topic or by their favourite author are in. Is an RSS feed a way we can do this?
