RSS feeds

There was an article on the front page of my local paper today about three books being banned in a school. I thought I could go to my mom and dad's to read it, but I found out they don't get the paper anymore (they're trying to cut costs wherever they can.) So I went to bloglines to see if I could get an RSS feed of the Journal and Courier. I can! And I passed that on to my mother, who misses reading her paper every morning. I also looked around at other feeds, SLIS-related and not. The NYT book review feed is great. There's also a feed from Publisher's Weekly that looks promising. I just heard of RSS this semester in Reference class, and I've seen it all over the internet since then. I think it's a feature I'll get a lot of use out of.
