RSS Feeds

Well, this was an "interesting" experience!!

Not as easy as it reads. I was able to subscribe (and unsubscribe) easily to suggestions from Bloglines but had more difficulty trying to subscribe to something out there in the wider Web-land but (with help) was able to do that too.

What do I like about RSS and newsreaders?
Instant gratification for (a few) of my obsessions.

What sites did I select for my RSS reader?
BBC News
Dictionary.com - word of the day
Librarian.net
LII (of course)
Powerhouse Museum - photo of the day
Rotten Tomatoes - movies
Scientific American

How do I think I might be able to use this technology in my work?
It will be useful to get up to the minute information for patrons on relevent topics e.g. News, Medical breakthroughs, latest books, movies, etc.

Did I find any good examples of other library blogs?
Yes, I did.
Mosman Library have a good blog:-
http://www.mosman.nsw.gov.au/library/information/weblog
and so does Manly:-
http://www.manly.nsw.gov.au/Library-Blogs.html

Will have to see how the feeds pan out.
