The new Phoenix Public Library catalog has 4 separate applications for RSS available to patrons.
1. Save a search and syndicate the daily results to your newsreader (Would you like to know when you can put a hold on the next Harry Potter? Use an RSS to run the search daily and have the results delivered to your desktop).
2.Subscribe to library card account updates (hold notices, overdues and soon to be due notices).
3. Subscribe to the calendar of events
4. Subscribe to a customized subset of the calendar of events get personalized information
(perhaps just about Teen events or just about events at your neighborhood branch).
There will be training for staff to learn how to use these RSS feeds on our website but for now the best way to explain them is to tell patrons something like this:
RSS is just one more option for patrons to receive information from the library. The nice part about RSS is that it allows you to get this information delivered directly to your desktop, wihtout having to log into our website to get it.
