RSS

I'm actually thankful for this task - perhaps it will get me up and going with RSS again. I have found it very useful in the past.

For me, reading key library-related web sites and blogs keeps me up to date on the field and the professional literature far more than trying to read the various magazines does, and I've found RSS invaluable for this.

Sadly, my good habits here fell victim to time crunch. I don't seem to have the time to visit the web sites and blogs I like and find useful. RSS saves some time, but if you don't look at your feed for a couple of weeks there is so much to wade through it becomes overwhelming in the same way that visiting a dozen web sites would be.

When I find the time, though, I am a much more informed professional - so here's to turning the old leaf over again!
