Which Periodicals Do I Read?
A friend wondered which periodicals I read regularly. The answer I gave him was rather incomplete because I didn’t explain that most of the reading I do is issue/topic-based, not based on specific publications. I really only read one niche publication everyday right now and it’s for my job. Also, I subscribe to a number of things I rarely have/make the time to read. If I find an interesting article, I read it. It doesn’t necessarily have to be from a certain publication. I at least skim some of the things in my aggregator daily and often follow links I find there or on other blogs. Sometimes I read things people recommend to me. Discussion lists can be a great source of things for professional reading. A local librarian also provides an excellent reader advisory service.
If I wasn’t so insanely busy, I would probably read more.
