RSS Feeds and Social Bookmarking on the Guille-Allès Library website

To help people keep up-to-date with what’s happening at Guille-Allès Library we’ve added RSS Feeds and Social Bookmarks to the Library website.

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and it is a file format for delivering regularly updated information over the web.

Just think about the websites you visit every day. It takes time to visit those sites and scour the ad-filled and image-heavy pages for just the text you want to read. Imagine if you could visit all those web pages in just one place without being bombarded with advertising, without having to search for new information on the page you’d already seen or read before and without having to consume a lot of time visiting each site individually. That is what you can do via an RSS feed.

You can use RSS feeds either directly with Internet Explorer or with a feed reader, such asGoogle Reader. 

Social bookmarking allows you to easily save pages you find interesting on-line and share them with your friends.
