RSS feeds could be used to communicate items to the staff. With evening and weekend employees, it's not always easy to have a staff meeting with everyone. A Library blog with an RSS feed would allow an easy way for announcements to the staff. Of course, having them subscribe to a reader and login regularly would have to be a requirement.
Feeds could also be used to promote information about the Library to the campus once the campus was educated about blogs, readers and feeds.
Patrons could use feeds in PubMed. I remember the SDI alert searches used years ago. The PubMed search feed can replace this. Librarians can promote this to their faculty and researchers. It's a service they could provide if the physicians don't want to mess with it themselves or the librarians could make friends by showing the physicians how to create the feeds themselves.
