Vast Active Library and Information Science blog. From a recent library science graduate in Wellington, New Zealand. A focus on reference and current awareness tools and issues, especially free, web-based resources.

 
Via Librarystuff comes a short list of 7 things RSS is good for (New Media Musings).

The seven things?

• saving time;


• convenience;


• access to a richer pool of material;


• zero in on the information you want;


• to serve as an alert service;


• levelling the playing field (between micro-publishers and major news sites);


• to drive conversation;

On the off-chance anyone has been wondering where I was, I moved flat and had a lot of trouble getting internet access hooked up.
