Library Blog Aggregator

What if your library provides so many RSS feeds your patrons can't keep track of them? The University of Alabama in Huntsville built a nice tool in response to this situation: The UAH Library Feed Aggregator. It pulls together the RSS feeds from the library's Flickr feed, two library blogs, a Huntsville events feed, the New York Times, and the Huntsville weather forecast.

The site has a very clear layout, making it easy to see what's recent and what's old. The library's aggregator provides a single place for its patrons to see all the news important to its patrons.
