RSS are great! I have vaguely known about them already, but have never actually put my hands on this technology.
For the purpose of this week’s exercise I have subscribed to ABS News for Librarians, Powerhouse Museum Picture of the Day, ABC News, SMH News headlines, Google News, and Cataloguing Librarian.
Generally what I like about them is what their function is – that they save you a lot of time when you are interested the latest news or are looking for latest information in a particular subject area.
I looked closely at the Cataloguing Librarian, created by Collections Access Librarian at Halifax Public Libraries. This blog is intended as a resource to other cataloguers concerning cataloguing, and the future of cataloguing and librarianship in general. I thought it could be interesting as discussion a forum for any cataloguer.

The Cataloguing Librarian blog sounds interesting. It is great when you discover something which fits with a specific interest. I like the ease of rss - it just collects until I look at it or delete it.
I am glad that you like RSS.
