This Thing has highlighted one of my shortcomings, and one of the biggest problems I have on the internet. When I'm not looking for anything in particular I can spend hours not finding it on the internet.
I jumped on the search sites for RSS feeds and searched various terms, coming up with pages of things that didn't really interest me. And then I realised what the problem was - I wasn't looking for anything. I was searching for terms because that's what I was supposed to be doing this week.
So I didn't subscribe to anything I found. I did find a lot of library jobs available at libraries around the world when searching on one site (sorry, I forgot which, but we already have jobs, remember).
I think I still find out about things that interest me through word of mouth, be it online or in person. As to how I get information about things, things get a little blurry. There's a list of databases and so on in my mind, but I don't know how I update this list. Probably not from blogs.

Yes, unfortunately that is how I find things sometimes. Just hours of searching. At least you found some useful Library blogs (and hopefully newsfeeds to them). That's what this exercise was all about. So that you could link them to your RSS newsfeed (if you found some you liked). Great job on your blog so far! :)
