David King’s presentation was very interesting. The best news I heard was that his library’s site provides RSS feeds. And their feeds are some of the most popular items in the site and Bloglines is one of the top user agents hitting their site. I’ll be checking that out in more detail as I’m in the process of trying to convince the Aurora City IT department to allow Aurora PL to post RSS feeds on the city’s server. (We have no server to put them on in the library proper… Long story.) Cool fact: KCPL is also in an old bank building and they show movies to the public in the vault.
