i didn't like the rss feed from google reader but i like the one on the library's website. this i'm more likely to use. i found the other one so confusing and frustrating. but this is all there in front of me and that's what i'm interested in: new books available, new dvds available, some newssites, etc...one of the things parents ask for is new dvds for kids. and we never really had a list, but this makes it so easy. the feeds on the catalog are all the popular news sites so i think that's great for easy access. it did take me a longer time to find the rss feeds on the catalog though. i knew they were there i just forgot where to get them thru. i couldn't find a way on the homepage to access the catalog feeds and was surprised they weren't there under the rss feeds link, that was just the library related materials.
i think that younger patrons will like the feeds for the most part. but the older ones may not be so open to this newer technology. it really does get confusing. also, i have very specific websites that i go to, and so i'm more likely to just have it under my favorites or type it into the browser. going to the library's website is just an added step that seems unnecessary.
