#5 (Week 2) Locate a few useful library related blogs and/or news feeds

Just searching for news feeds off bloglines was good enough. Out of the suggested search sites Topix was proberly the easiest to use.

Discovery Exercise:#4 (Week 2additional)

Learn about RSS feeds and set up a Bloglines account
  • RSS and newsreaders: I have not really used it but see how useful it could be to someone who surfs the interent on a regular basis checking their favourite sites.Also if your doing research and need to keep up with the most recent changes it would be realy useful.
  • How I could use it? I could use the BLoglines to keep up to date with different trends and releases etc.
  • Libraries: Libraries could use bloglines by keeping up to date with different articles. We could also promote this in the library as a good way to surf the net instead of spending time browsing through pages trying to find that same blog etc...
