It was easy to subscribe to Bloglines and set up a free account. I can see that RSS feeds would be useful personally to aggregate new items appearing on blogs that interest me. The tricky bit is narrowing that list of blogs down, so I'm not being overwhelmed with new stuff. I can see more benefit for RSS feeds for our customers - keeping them informed of new events and programs, as an example. We currently have a monthly e-newsletter, and this seems the logical next step so that customers aren't having to wait until the next month to find out what's happening or having to constantly go to our website and look for updates.
I found searching for the particular blogs I wanted to subscribe to a bit overwhelming. So I didn't search widely to be honest. The sites I ended up selecting were OPAL training, Between the Shelves (our library blog for young people), ABC top stories, Librarians Internet Index New This Week and Bloglines News.
