RSS feeds

Well!! This lesson was much better aligned with my personal interests.

RSS feeds ...what a great tool! I had a very interesting and enjoyable journey and it was easy to subscribe to various feeds. I could seriously imagine myself spending many hours following RSS feeds and not getting anything else done!!

I subscribed to five RSS feeds, being:

John Oxley Library Blog
Dictionary.com Word of the Day
The Courier Mail/Movies
ABC News/Top stories
Brisbane weather

Indeed, RSS feeds could be used as one's own newspaper. For a Reference Librarian it could be a very useful tool in order to keep up with the latest topics of interest to people in our community. Often library clients seek the assistance of a Reference Librarian when searching for more information about some topic in the news or a public debate happening thru the media outlets.
