Feeds and Catalog

When looking through our new wbsite I saw the RSS symbol. When clicking on it a window containing many sites opened. Nice too see there are many feeds being watched by people. I then tried to subcribe to a feed that " no content available from source at this time" appeared. Thought that was weird, it was libary news. I then went to local news and saw that a horrific thing had happenend yesterday. A child dies over a carrot that was lodged in her throat. OMG that is sooo scary. Think you are sending your child to school with healthy snacks and that happens.

I finally subcribed to the "adult non-fiction" RSS feed. I am very interested in the latest books by my favorite authors.

In the beggining was confussing. But as I chugged on things got a little easier.

  1. Our catalog takes feeds (like those under the Library News tab) and pulls them all together for people who don't wnat to create a customizable feed reader account. So, essentially, patrons don't even need to know what a feed is to use this feature. Unfortunately, this means that you cannot subscribe to these feeds from the catalog and sometimes they have a few "technical difficulties". To subscribe to feeds and have them come straight to your feed reader, you need to use the feeds on our website, which I see you were able to do. Keep chugging!
