Rose, in response to your question 
 
Can anyone tell me how RSS can improve library services? Thank you


It could bring back the old "reader services".   We have often alerted faculty when materials arrived related to their research topics. This could personalize and digitize that whole process. Make it more efficient. 
 
It could also be a new kind of "vertical file" organized by subject.
 
I acknowledge my supevisor "Dr. Ruth Swan" for her insight on this response.
