#9 Revisited library blogs/newsfeeds

I set up my own Bloglines account.
I searched Bloglines to find a couple of library related RSS feeds.
I subscribed to ShiftedLibrarian and Library Journal.

First, you need a "feed reader".
Once you've obtained a feed reader,(Bloglines) subscribing to an RSS feed is as simple as looking for the appropriate XML code. Most websites that publish an RSS feed will display a tiny orange box or button labeled "RSS" or "XML."
Click the button and your web browser typically goes to a page of cryptic code. Just copy the Web "address" or URL of that page and plug it into your feed reader. The software will then automatically retrieve and display that site's latest information.


I'm ready to subscribe to a few more,
some library related, some personal.
I know this will keep me better informed and will save time checking web sites:)

#23 Is this the End - naw...just another beginning

I think this has been an awesome experience!
It has been a very useful staff development project.
Our dept. looks forward to participating in the library wiki, partly because of all we've learned thru these exercises.

I've decided to continue on with 2.1, at least reviewing the exercises.
I've found that I knew a bit about each "thing" we encountered,
but now have a much greater understanding and ability to actually "use" the resources. And the resources are Free!

Mostly I like the fact that Library 2.0 continues.
Just like software releases, there's always a new update !

#19 Web 2.0 Tools

I reviewed several winners from the short list.
I continue to be amazed at all the technie stuff out there.
I probably wouldn't have found all these resources on my own.
