Thing 3: RSS

I am loving RSS! Keeping up with blogs would (obviously) be impossible without RSS. In fact, I sometimes find it a little overwhelming to keep up with my RSS!


I've set up RSS on Google, which is nice. I like the layout.


What I really like is the RSS reader in MS Outlook 2007. I like it because it's so convenient. I can have it open when I check my work email. I keep all my most essential blog RSS here.
My list of must read RSS feeds are (in alphabetical order):

• ACRL Insider
• ACRLog
• Brainstorm
• ELM Blog
• Grinnell College Libraries' News and Announcements
• iLibrarian
• librarian.net
• Library Journal
• Library Link of the Day
• Library Lowdown - GU/MSB Library blog
• LISNews
• MINTEX Digital Reference blog
• The Kept-Up Academic Librarian

There are so many great blogs out there. I also try to read Boing Boing and A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette. They're more for fun than for professional development.
