Abstract
The medical and library literature is saturated with articles on the benefits and basic use of RSS; yet, just as the technology was starting to take hold in the medical field, it has simultaneously been declared ‘dead on arrival.’ This article seeks to revive hope for RSS by documenting, among other cases, unconventional projects such as University Hospitals Case Medical Center's use of the technology to solve a problem involving a Web site redesign project. Additional uses discussed will include using RSS for displaying literature searches and grant information.
The author acknowledges Jennifer Wilms, Medical Librarian and Web site redesign project manager at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, OH, for her expertise and willingness to share her project for this article.
