RSS Feeds and Social Bookmarking on the Guille-All&egrave;s Library website

To help people keep up-to-date with what&rsquo;s happening at Guille-All&egrave;s Library we&rsquo;ve added RSS Feeds and Social Bookmarks to the Library website.
RSS stands for &ldquo;Really Simple Syndication&rdquo; 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.&nbsp;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&rsquo;d already seen or read before and without having to consume a lot of time visiting each site individually.&nbsp;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 as Google Reader.&nbsp;
Social bookmarking allows you to easily save pages you find interesting on-line and share them with your friends. 
For quick and simply guides to RSS feeds and Social Bookmarking have a look at the Common Craft videos below.
