#9 Finding Feeds

I mainly used Feedster. The other three ended up giving me some naughty things.

Feedster was pretty easy to use. Just put in something to search for and there you go. I found that the names of the feeds were potentially the most helpful thing to look at. Some of the "articles" seemed like one shot deals, so looking at their content wasn't always helpful

I found a few more feeds dealing with Graphic Novels and Manga, which is of course the main thing I'm concerned with at the library for the time being. I found a number dealing with new release schedules and reviews of manga. It was harder to find graphic novel ones though. Most of the stuff I came across dealt with the individual comics. But I also found one or two regular book review/recommendation feeds and one on Japan and Japanese culture.

The easiest way I've found a feed was just by visiting my favorite sites. A number of them offer feeds, or at least emails for daily comics. I'm all about the comics.

#8 Make Life "Really Simple" with RSS & a Newsreader.

Here's my Blogroll. A word of warning though, if you're easily offended I'd advise you to stay away from Explosm.net.

So this thing is great. It's basically just a more advanced bookmark list, but it's still good. As you can see I went a little crazy with my feeds. 32, after just starting it, wow. I just wish all my comics would display.

Thanks to the Reader's Club Graphic Novel list I can keep up to date on some of the newer releases, very good since I'm ordering them now. Same goes for Fantasy. Although, the Fantasy is more for pleasure than work. And I can easily keep track of my favorite comics and the news.

As for Libraries utilizing this resource, like I said, I'm ordering Graphic Novels and this will help me with that. Just in general it can help us keep track of new releases. Go to the right place and you might get feeds on how books are actually doing sales-wise.

P.S. - It's taking awhile for my verification/confirmation email thing to be delivered, so I'm not sure when my Blogroll will be viewable.
