Feed Me

Do I think this is a good tool for keeping up on information? Heck yeah! We live in a world where almost everything can be delivered right to our door (Netflix, prepared gourmet meals, pizza in under 30 minutes, flowers - you name it)! So why not take advantage of RSS feeds that gather all of our favorite subscriptions, scrumptiously prepare them and feed us when we are hungry for information.

Previously, I created an account in Bloglines and it has been such an easy tool to incorporate in my daily rountine. This week I focused on organization (creating folders) and subscribing to subject specific content through podcasts, blogs, RSS feeds, etc. I started thinking about ways to "Feed" my library. It seems only logical that my first step should be to spread the word to colleagues and then potentially conduct a workshop for patrons that demonstates the basics of Bloglines. Why not pass the word that RSS feeds can deliver information that we consistently hunger for!
