*4 Make Life "Really Simple" with RSS and Newsreaders

RSS readers are real time savers. I did not try any of the client software because I access so many different computers at work in addition to the one at home that I knew the Web-based reader was the best choice for me. I used Google Reader as instructed and found it straight forward and user friendly.

Below are three links that I read occasionally and have established a subscription to their blogs:

http://freerangelibrarian.com
http://nancypearlbooks.wordpress.com
http://theshiftedlibrarian.com

Karen Schneider writes about libraries, writing, and her travels in her blog, Free Range Librarian. Nancy Pearl, the librarian's librarian, keeps me informed about great reads in Book Lust. Jenny Levine helps me stay current about Library 2.0 and other library news. I am much more likely to access these blogs through Google Reader rather than access each site individually. I can easily skim the material to see if the information is relevant to me and will be more likely to keep up with the sites.
