RSS

RSS feeds are a great way of keeping up on all your interests and the news. I, personally, have never been much for following anything for any length of time (maybe because I didn't have this tool!). Before this assignment I guess I thought that the RSS was for news articles and had not considered getting my daily laugh or tonight's dinner from such a source. Upon signing up for a membership to bloglines I was astounded at the different areas of interest that were readily available as quick picks.

Googling, via the blog search, helped me find even more blogs that I wanted to subscribe to, but I decided to hold off on any more until I looked through the ones I already have, don't need to go on overload!

This tool could be handy to use in the library by myself and staff because of the librarian and book review blogs that are readily available. If I can go on one site (bloglines) and access all this information in one spot it will make my job so much easier and efficient.

I love new things, this may keep me busy for sometime exploring more and more available sources and uses.
