Week 4:RSS

Blogging is proving itself a worthy and easy to use tool for sharing information among our group of library workers. Last week , using Flickr for sharing and preserving images, showed a good online resource at our finger tips. This week , the RSS feeds was a bit more time consuming. There is so much information "out there". Any tool like RSS that sends regular updates must be advantageous for busy people.In my opinion its best application for public libraries is for informing of events , professional training and activities and for sharing all the great things we do. Some of the feeds I subscribed to included:

I could also see an application for Readers Advisory services. Can anyone suggest useful feeds to help select books particularly for seniors ?

RSS can save time, but if you have too many feeds (or you really try to read them all) it can use a lot of time. It is a difficult balance.
