They're good, but from experience, you just have to learn not to over subscribe or it's information overload!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953305626693535768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-20719267523556219932011-02-17T10:03:09.540+11:002011-02-17T10:03:09.540+11:00i have attached a rss onto my google account.

I find I am being swamped with all the news, it seems to be a lot of reading, but at least this way i can pick and choose what I want to read without having to google it evey time I want to find out what is happening in my area of interest. Good tool.bloggersbewarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18422226183039037563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-2537153781717754392010-09-22T16:56:57.344+10:002010-09-22T16:56:57.344+10:00I have a Google Reader for general news but I neve...I have a Google Reader for general news but I never look at it because I also have a news app on my iGoogle page. Nevertheless I think these would be useful to keep up with Library blogs and get feeds about book award winners etc. I just need to remember to set up an RSS feed when I see a good blog. I think you can also set them up in EBSCO to received feeds about new articles on your specified search terms.Karen Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261915022278502034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-60900722244278360662010-07-25T12:58:18.246+10:002010-07-25T12:58:18.246+10:00Yeah, I'm with CatyJ on this one!

There was a lot of hard work that went into finding those websites!Miss Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785823707721198622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-23428256939196917232010-01-07T14:38:25.487+11:002010-01-07T14:38:25.487+11:00I admit to not reading my RSS feeds all that often...I admit to not reading my RSS feeds all that often but I do have heaps of them (using GoogleReader) organised into broad subject groups - IT, emerging technologies, library management, libraries, reference, ra, etc - around my various interest areas.<br />Whilst I don't view them all that often I find them extremely useful when I'm trying to hunt down particular info or am wondering about a particular subject and if someone has written something interesting about it and then I go and troll through the relevant ones.<br />I used to have more feeds but it was simply too much. I go through them roughly every 6 months and weed them out, plus add new ones as I come across them.CatyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517462436684978949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-35151580410103494992009-12-18T18:10:11.329+11:002009-12-18T18:10:11.329+11:00I have to say I don't check my feeds that ofte...I have to say I don't check my feeds that often and haven't seen big advantage of it. Everyday there is so much to read - Info exlosion, even don't have enough time to read books, so give up, more or less. However they are useful tools and good for something particular that I want to read, eg, news.swallowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05792916362495832641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-20393756317601121682009-12-16T11:28:05.581+11:002009-12-16T11:28:05.581+11:00I agree with Superchicken's comments.

I do check out my google reader, but not always regularly and am sometimes swamped with new articles to read!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054436242232234223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050267117201372968.post-11887901384443634572009-12-14T14:05:04.185+11:002009-12-14T14:05:04.185+11:00My work based RSS reader is checked about once a w...My work based RSS reader is checked about once a week. I haev about 6 sites on it - I haven't organised them in any particluar fashion. I looked at Feed rinse and I think these are a wonderful idea. I suppose I have been selective in the sites I have chosen so I don't feel I need to sign up. I can see if you subscribe to a blog that has lots of personal info as well as library info it would be useful!Superchicken77https://www.blogger.com/profile/02549444725877377955noreply@blogger.com
