[Web4lib] RSS FEEDERS/aggregators

[jennifer.kirton at dpi.nsw.gov.au]

Dear Colleagues,

As an overworked, solo, special librarian I'm about two years behind with 
all the latest technology etc, but I would like to start using RSS feeds 
to stay up to date.  (Once I knew what I was doing, I would look to 
introduce it to my library clients as well)

I would appreciate any suggestions  - based on your own experiences -  for 
a web-based aggregator and for a desktop (Windows) aggregator  (I.T. says 
they wont allow me to download any, but I am working on them!). 

I am interested primarily in free services, but if there are any 
subscription or fee based products that you would highly recommend, I 
would appreciate hearing about them.

I would also appreciate links to any online reviews etc particularly on 
their use in libraries .  I have found that there is so much information 
out there it is confusing.

Thanks in anticipation

Regards,
Jennifer
