I love the way news comes to you! I have used the RSS aggregator, Google Reader, for some time and here are a few RSS feeds that I’ve signed up to:
Top stories - Google
I love food - so SMH’s Table Talk
Powerhouse Museum - Photo of the Day
National Art School
Would love another opportunity to travel - so SMH’s Travel Blog
and a tennis RSS feed.
I have also subscribed to a Google News alert on the library where I work, allowing me to monitor media coverage on the library.
While I found it initially difficult to find RSS feeds, they are very easy to set up using Google Reader.
I love the way that RRS feeds bring tailored information straight to you, saving on hours of crawling the web - although as the feeds are personalised to one’s own interests, I find that I often spend hours reading them!
RSS feeds are a great way for libraries to promote aspects of their collections, services and events. They are also a good resource for Reference Librarians to monitor their library and for complex and ongoing reference queries.
I am finding the CommonCraft explanations really useful - thanks for including these presentations.
