23 Things Assignment #3
For my feeds list I've chosen:
-BBC News World Edition
-Librarian's Internet Index
-The Shifted Librarian
Everything seemed pretty straightforward. The only thing that concerns me, however, is information overload. It seems that I already get useless emails. RSS seems to be just another way of inundating oneself with tedious information. Instead of fast food, it's fast information. That it is so easy to receive information makes it difficult for an individual to evaluate what is really worth knowing, much in the way that fast food does not allow us to really appreciate the necessity for nourishment. Nonetheless, I must admit that feeds like Library Journal, and Librarian's Internet Index are useful in one's professional development. I won't dismiss RSS feeds altogether, but I will have to practice caution in my selection of them.
