RSS Feeds

So, this course of mine wants to know:

"How do you think you could use RSS feeds at your library? How do you think patrons could use RSS feeds?"

I think maybe that's the wrong question. The right question might be "How do we get non-tech savvy clinicians to recognize the potential of this technology?" I think part of the answer might be by hiding them, by doing things like embedding feeds into resource portals like LibGuides (see my playground page at http://guides.lib.uiowa.edu/playground.

Do you see how I shamelessly promote myself - that can be another way to use RSS feeds.
