Search engines for RSS feeds makes sense and alows you to segment the information you are looking for.
Feedster - Off air when I tried to search - will try another day
Topix.net - (news and media outlet RSS feeds , not weblogs)
Cluttered front page but sound searching and worthwhile way to find this type of information
Google Blog search - (BETA mode) - I thought Google was about having permanent beta versions of everything. Good site and has the functionality to link everything together, which of course is the big downside of bringing the concept of "Big brother" is watching to mind as more reliance is placed in using Google tools.
Obvious answer to this is as with search engines, always use 2, reducndancy is the key to ensuring an unbiased answer.
Journal alerts - I have been using this for some time, but only as email alerts.
Use to the library:
We need a campaign to encourage staff to take up RSS or email alerts for full text journals and stop journals being routed to staff - free journals for public use and remind staff to encourage users to do the same.
