Thing 4- RSS world

I began subscribing to RSS readers a couple of years ago through my Yahoo mail. I have environmental, science, library NPR and post secret updates that feed on my email homepage regularly though I rarely read them. I created an RSS reader for staff at the last branch I worked at and populated it with library related blogs. I found that these would help fill in the the slow times and help keep staff interested in what was going on at other libraries rather than browsing electronic news and outlet sites. What I observed was that staff were generally uninterested in these feeds unless I pointed out a particular one for them to read.
