More RSS

I caved. I was determined to accomplish the RSS listing on my own, but I got help from my tech support person. Now I have a short list of feeds, and we shall see what help they bring. I can see uses for this. As a school librarian, you get used to certain staff members asking for info, and you might stay a little ahead of the game using this tool. I can also see how you could get addicted to feeds and spend way too much time keeping up with them. I gave up trying to keep up with professional journals a long time ago. Hopefully, this will be easier--I'm not sure.

#3 Learning About RSS

I am working on signing up for automatic feeds of certain bloggers and other favorite web sites. Not working. I have a feeling I have signed up for feeds all over the place, but I cannot figure out how to retrieve them. I will keep trying. I tell myself this is good for me because it helps me understand my students' frustration when things aren't obvious to them. They are never as stupid as I have been today.

And did you notice I did the avatar thing? Not sure what the purpose of that was, and it took more than one try. When I get better at it, I'm changing it! She is so not me.

#2 Perspectives on Library 2.0

Okay, I've watched the Abram video--twice--and I still feel like I'm sinking. This reminds me of grad school when the "new" in library was microfiche, and wasn't that going to change the world! I wonder if librarians who were fifty-something back then were as nervous about the fiche as I am about whatever it is we are doing here?

Anyway, libraries change. It's what we do. I'm working very hard to learn Abram's language.

#1 Set up your own blog

Okay, first time for everything. I'm really hoping nobody finds this, but I did it.
