So I had a bit of a play with RSS Feeds and set up a Bloglines account- I'm going to add that to my Bookmarks Toolbar at home and at work, otherwise i'm not sure I'd use it.
I just subscribed to a few techie/gadget sites and some sport news sites.
I found Yahoo pipes interesting but couldn't seem to get feeds from The SMH or other Southern Hemisphere sites. I tried to get a feed from The New York Times and limit it just to travel stories about New York City, but to no avail. I will try this again tho.
Again I think RSS feeds or something similar will be good for informing people of new books of interest to them but given what I've seen i'm not sure if it can be done or many libraries would do so already. Someone prove me wrong?

Check out the rss feeds you can do if you're using Hennepin Library in the USA. http://www.hclib.org/pub/search/RSS.cfm
I think some of our clients would love to be alerted when new books on their favourite topics were added to the catalogue.
