I like the idea of RSS Readers and have had a Bloglines account for years (thanks to Polly's Tech Camp at Rensselaerville Institute several years ago). My biggest problem is remembering to check the account! Months and months can go by without me doing it. I need to make a commitment, now that I created an iGoogle page, to check the site and updates regularly. I feel like I am making a New Year's Resolution, but truly hope to keep this one!
RSS readers can be SO useful to librarians. We know there is so much info. out there on the web and it truly is hard to keep up with it all. By creating and CHECKING our RSS Readers, it is so much easier to keep up to date on the latest news, technology, books, authors, etc.
As I keep using my iGoogle page, I hope to update this blog on what I have learned.
I have trouble finding time to check my account too. And when I do, I go off on tangents and never really get through the list of new posts. But then, I do the same thing with paper articles and magazines. I'm surrounded by stacks of paper!
