I spent a lot of time on RSS and ended up with more information than my little brain is willing to hang on to. There's so much out there! I subscribed to other participants' newsfeeds (lucky them?) in the hopes that they can either shed more light on this for me, or they too will admit to being somewhat overwhelmed by this.
I've got an embedded newsfeed on my blog, CBC books, which I am finding the most useful feed because it deals with new titles, awards and nominations for awards. Some of the other blogs are just ramblings and... well, I ramble quite a bit myself. I think this particular feed would be a good addition to our library's website for the reasons I gave for adding it to my blog.
The RSS feed sites had a lot on them, but it would have taken me too much time to whittle down what I'd want, for the time I'm giving it right now. Maybe I'll go back later. I did not like http://www.topix.net/ because even when I narrowed it down by country and province, I found very little content on what was useful to me; this annoyed me so I let that go. I think the focus of these newsfeeds are more U.S. based, and that's not what I'm looking for.
All in all, its been very interesting.
Now I am off to ReThink Waterloo, where the energy co-op I'm secretary of (LIFE) has a booth set up. Looking forward to hearing Robert Kennedy Jr. speak tonight.

Never fear, you are DEFINITELY not alone in feeling overwhelmed. This course offers a heavy workload and a lot of new concepts...especially because you are all doing this in addition to your regular work. I am impressed with all of you for your hard work and dedication.
Jenny.
