I'd like to know more about marketing these services to my non-tech-savvy patrons. I tried to push RSS readers for TOC alerts and saved searches, but gave up in the face of a definite lack of interest. I spent a ton of time setting this up for one client, and then a few months later she called and said she never remembers to check it, so could I just change them to come to her via e-mail. Then, she forgot her Google Reader ID and password! Luckily, I had saved her searches in Ovid Medline and never got around to deleting them, but that was basically the nail in the coffin of my RSS efforts. I have yet to encounter anyone in my hospital who has even heard of RSS, or shows any enthusiasm for it when I demonstrate it. Hi David,
