LIS career development group RSS portal

Posted on Friday, March 09, 2012 by Michelle Dalton

http://www.netvibes.com/lisireland is a new Netvibes RSS portal which has been compiled by Giada Gelli from the LIS Career Development Ireland group. LisIreland includes feeds from Irish public, academic & special libraries, general library blogs & journals, and specialist resources for cataloguing, information literacy, health sciences and law.

The portal is still a work in progress and more feeds from LIS blogs, journals and news sources will be added over time based on input from members. Thanks to Giada for the hard work involved in putting together this very useful resource.

    Sure you don't think I have forgotten DBS already David! :)
    Great idea John, thanks.

    I have passed on your feedback to Giada, and if anyone has any other feeds they would recommend they can be posted here and I will pass them on.

    Excellent resource, and exciting to see the wide and varied spectrum of Irish LIS activities in one place - makes for a powerful picture. Will gladly draw my students' attention to this. Also delighted to see an Information Literacy section. Thanks to Giada and the Career Development Group

    Hi Claire, thanks for your kind comments. Great to hear you will be sharing this tool with your students. If you or your students have any suggestions for resources to add please let us know. In particular we're looking to expand the Jobs section and make this a really useful tool for all professionals and in particular for those out of work or in temporary employment. It is a resouce we badly needed in Ireland, so here it is ;)

    Michelle: great to hear this is now your homepage! and you're right, this blog rocks :)
