Week 4 # 9 Library Feeds

http://www.booksite.com/texis/scripts/bookletter/showfab.html?sid=5027&qlname=NLBFH (Feed for Fiction best sellers supplied by New York Times to libraries)

Although I no longer run a library book club, I did this in my previous position, so I have an interest in what new fiction is being published, with a particular interest in crime writing. This feed should tell me about the latest in fiction from the USA.

This site has updates throughout the year regarding the longlists, shortlists, and the awarding of the Man Booker Prize in October each year. Useful for getting information for book clubs.

Thanks for the feeds, I want to join a book club but i don't have the time this year!

The discovery exercise for number 9 requires you to check out some search tools, like Syndic8 or topix, which are designed to track down RSS feeds. If you could please blog about your experience with these then I can give you credit for number 9 :)
