I really like RSS

I have been using it for a while. I like that it makes keeping up to date with things easier. I am a scanner rather than a reader of RSS. At first I over subscribed. Since then I have cut back in a few areas and increased in others. I try and spend no more than 15 minutes a day on rss. This means I miss a lot but what I come across is more than I would have read by other means. It has given me some really useful areas to follow up for my work.

I have not really explored many personal interests in rss.

I really like rss for the information I would never have found through other means but which has changed how I do my job.

I like the Sutherland Public Library blog - it compliments their website. There is also an interesting Dutch public library blog - even thougth I don't read Dutch am still getting pointed to some great information.

Libraries can make information available via rss - image if someone could subscribe to an events rss, or a specific subject from the catalogue rss (to keep track of new items or areas of research interest)...
