YAY RSS!!!!

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

The things i like most about RSS and newsreaders is that they save you alot of time and energy! I like this idea because it means you can do alot less and gain the same outcome or more!! I like that you can just add your fave webpages to your Feeds and then you get updates and information when it is uploaded instead of having to always check the webpages.

What sites did you select for your RSS reader?

I selected

Art Deadlines List
Bloglines News
National Geographic News: Animals & Nature
Powerhouse Museum - Photo of the Day
The Shifted Librarian

How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work?

I think we could add important Library , news and community websites to our Feeds for our Library and be updated on new and current information instead of having to search websites for it. saving time and keeping us more involved and informed!!


How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?

As i stated above I think that if each Library created an account on 'Bloglines' or something similar they could add feeds from their Local Government, Community, News and Other Library webpages Then each time one of those is updated we would know asap! making us ALOT mopre informed and aware of whats happening around us.

Did you find any good examples of other library blogs?

I found some but Im not sure if they were good examples, This website i found a bit daunting.
