Excellent news! And lets hope this includes the Daily News Bulletin?
This would be great if it was also available as an RSS feed.
However... one small point the email states
"users first need to install an RSS reader on their computer"
which seems to suggest you need to install software to read RSS feeds,
you don't, just head over to http://www.bloglines.com/
An excellent web based RSS reader and all of us on work pcs that will
not let you add software can join in!
thanks

News from CILIP
Tuesday 26 April 2005
For immediate release  (Please copy to online discussion lists)

CILIP makes it easier to keep up with new services, news and
developments

RSS feed means users receive automatic notification of new pages on
CILIP web site

CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals
is making it easier to keep up with new developments at the UK's leading
membership organisation for library and information workers.  Instead of
having to make regular visits to CILIP's web site, you can now find out
what's new automatically, using the new RSS service.

Launched on the CILIP stand at last week's Library + information Show,
RSS enables users to keep track of new pages as they are added to a web
site without having to go and check the web site itself.  You can use it
to check our press releases for news of latest developments and issues,
find out about new CILIP services or newly published documents and
reports, or keep track of developments in key initiatives such as the
Framework of Qualifications.

To take advantage of any site providing RSS (which stands for 'Really
Simple Syndication'), users first need to install an RSS reader on their
computer.  CILIP's RSS page provides links to several readers offered by
competing providers.  The reader will then list all the sites to which
you have subscribed for feeds and then the newest postings on those
sites.  You then see a summary description, and click through to the
actual page to read its content in full.

"Our new RSS service makes it much easier for people to keep in touch
with the latest developments at CILIP," comments Jill Martin, CILIP's
Director Knowledge & Information.  "The big benefit of RSS is that the
individual opts in to content of interest, such as the CILIP news feed,
so that they are able to choose the information that they want to
receive. We will be launching new online services and information
throughout the year and, if our members and customers use our RSS
service, they can ensure that they don't miss out."

"RSS readers are a growing market and a very handy way to pull in
information you are interested in from sites," adds Sarah Woodbridge of
CILIP's web site developer cScape.  "Both My MSN and My Yahoo! have
recently added web based access to RSS feeds to their personalized
homepage services which will no doubt lead to even wider adoption."

To find out more about how an RSS feed can help you keep up to date
with developments at CILIP and in the library and information world
generally, please go to www.cilip.org.uk/aboutRSS for full details and
links to RSS readers that you can download.
