RSS feeds

I have been using a RSS and reader from Google for a while. My choice of feeds include -
Next Reads from my library http://feeds.feedburner.com/MbrcLibraryRss , I have advised quite a few of my library patrons to join this feed so that they can keep up-to-date with what is happening in our libraries.

school library journal http://feeds.feedburner.com/SchoolLibraryJournal-TechnologyNews
and

forever geeks http://www.forevergeek.com/feed/

I have made my home page for my gmail to igoogle page and when i log in it not only shows my emails but my RSS feeds too.

I think our library could also use a RSS feed for when we start our youth book club and it will depend on which social networking tools we use. I am thinking maybe a blog site that the youth can receive RSS feeds when we update the blog.

Also if a libray has a special team working on a project, by having a RSS feed connected say to a blog site etc then all the staff involved can be receiving feeds when any of their team add to the blog so this may be a great way of keeping ontop of a project.
