What I like about RSS and newsreaders is that you can select what sites I am interested in receiving posts from - tailoring the information I want to read, and having it sent automatically is really great.
Sites I selected for my RSS reader are:
7 feeds
ABC News : Australia (0) (0)
ABS Blog for Librarians (0) (0)
Bloglines News (0) (0)
The Cataloguing Librarian (10) (0)
Powerhouse Museum - Photo of the Day (10) (0)
The Shifted Librarian (0) (0)
VH1 Movie News
I think I might be able to use this technogy in my work by using it as an alerting service for updates about new material on e.g. the ABS website to assist me keep up to date with reference services, and developments in cataloguing which may be of interest as well.
Libraries can use RSS to take advantage of this new technology to facilitate staff current awareness of new developments in their area of work.
I found a few other good examples of library blogs by searching Google Blog Search (where I found The Cataloguing Librarian blog.
