RSS

I have to say I really like the CommonCraft videos that accompany each unit--simple and easy to understand. I love simple! I enjoyed experimenting with RSS and using Google Reader--a great way to stay up to date on all the sites you are interested in. I did find that subscribing to a site with a large amount of updates can really load you down so I dropped CNN.

It's a great service to have RSS feeds to the Pollak Library's news and information, but how about using RSS feeds to alert users to new additions to the catalog for topics they find interesting. It would be like bringing the New Book Shelf to them.
