Library 2.0 and Rss Feeds

I have finally finished up the last week of the Library 2.0 class. The amount of information is staggering, and it is humbling to realize how little I really know. However, the more I do learn, the more I realize that we really need to upgrade our website and the services we provide through there to reach and engage patrons that we do not currently serve. The newer generations are web savvy and web engaged, and we really need to be looking to the future.

With Joan's suggestion, I have used RSS feeds to keep us updated with 3 of the SCLS blogs/wikis. You will notice boxes with the labels for these at the top of the Igoogle page. Whenever an update is made to these blogs, we will automatically receive it in the little reader box. We'll try this for a while, but it makes sense, because now we don't have to check each blog individually. Maybe there is too much stuff on the Igoogle page now. I can take off some of the stuff like the newsfeeds, maps, etc. Again, just depends, and it can always be added back in later. I think the sticky notes are becoming more automatic, at least I hope so.

Patty, maybe if you could post info about what is going on with the kids's programs on the blog, we would have it to reference? What do you think?

The doodad at the top is called a Word Cloud.
