RSS feeds - What's in it for us?




Tools like Bloglines make it possible to have a one stop news/update pick up point.



From a professional point of view the following are a few of the RSS feeds that I have subscribed to.
It is great to keep up to date with the latest in professional development and library trends. It is always good to have a vision of the bigger library world and subscribing to RSS feeds in a way gives me opportunities to think of the bigger picture.
Some of the feeds that I have subscribed to for leisure are the following.
Dilbert http://dilbert.com/blog/
Rocco Bloggo SMH http://blogs.smh.com.au/newsblog/archives/rocco_bloggo/index.html
Powerhouse Museum http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/imageservices/

RSS feeds would be great to let our clients know about events such as author talks, notification about new items, monthly @ your library campaign, holiday activities etc... It would be a good medium to promote the various library resources on a topic which might be the flavour of the week or month.

The Mosman Libray blog looks interesting. http://refdesk.mosmanlibraryblogs.com/
