Thing 3 - RSS feeds

Now this is a 2.0 application I can appreciate. As a busy working mom, I love being able to check for new blog postings at a glance. It's quick, it's easy, and it's organized.

As I mentioned in the last post, our library publishes our "newsletter" in blog format and we have an RSS feed set up on the homepage. It's great to have our current news and announcements in plain view on the homepage, rather than buried in the website and then buried further by forcing users to click on a link to a newsletter.

Other "23 Things" participants may be interested in a couple of the blogs I've set up RSS feeds for:

• A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette - a sarcastic take on our professional lives
• Dolores' List of CFPs - a great resource for finding calls for papers and presentations in LIS and related disciplines
