Week 4: RSS feeds and feedreaders

I've been using RSS feeds for a couple of years, mostly for my hobbies and interests. They are a really useful way of keeping up to date with news and information from a variety of sources within one integrated package, without having to navigate to different areas of the web. I think the hardest thing with them is to only subscribe to the ones that are really relevant to your needs, as otherwise you can be bombarded with too much information.
The Library one's that I have subscribed to at the moment are:

Read Alert
Unshelved (we all need a reminder about the funny things that happen in our jobs at times)\
Librarian.net
LibraryBytes and
LISnews
Love the liberry
