RSS feeds

as part of our class we starting to use RSS feeds. The RSS feeds i've chosen for my blog are RSS feeds to the two blogs run by the National library of Australia. One of the blogs is the eloquent page blog which is about the fringe publishing that the National library of Australia collects (alterative press and hand published material, ephemera etc.) http://blogs.nla.gov.au/the-eloquent-page/about/http://blogs.nla.gov.au/the-eloquent-page/about/ 
The second blog run by the National library of Australia is about the work that happens in the library for example book repair and presevation, end processing and other work that goes on.

I think that having RSS feeds is a good idea as it gives you the latest information from a website without having to go to the site constantly and check. This is a good tool for libraries to use. It allows librarians or library technicians to get the latest information from websites that they need to use or moniter like databases, other library webpages, blogs, facebook,  etc without having to take time away from what they are doing. There are many different ways that this tool could useful.

Here are the citations for the blogs:
