A blog of my responses and reflections on web 2.0 applications and how they relate to my work in public libraries. Should be fun.

Use for RSS in council productions

I saw a clever use of RSS recently at work.  Council produces all sorts of pamplets, brochures, media releases, fact sheets etc.  Many of these are one off items that will either stay in their current format for years, but there are some that need updating on a regular basis.  An example of this would the the libraries "What's On" pamplet that comes out once a month.

These sort of serialised pamplets have starting coming out with RSS links so staff or interested customers can add them to a reader and keep up to date with the information they contain.  I love this idea and wondered if it could be extended to out productions like the council's agendas and minutes? 

Just a thought.

Sounds like a very good use of rss.
