I've actually been using Google Reader for quite a while now and I really love it. I'm always trying to convince other people to use it. I have about 16 subscriptions now and quite honesly that's about all I can manage. If I miss checking it for a couple of days I may have 100s of items. This is mainly because I subscribe to a Houston Chronicle feed which has lots of headlines every day. The library related feeds are not nearly as prolific. I picked 3 of the feeds to highlight above.

The first feed is Early Word which is spectacular for Collection Development. I should never be surprised by a best seller again!

The second feed is the Galveston Daily News which since my library is in Galveston County is an important souce of local information.

And the third feed is Awful Library Books which is just plain fun and reminds me daily of the importance of keeping an up to date collection!
