I set up an aggregator account using Google Reader and added the blogs of some of my fellow participants. I also added several news sites such as the New York Times and CNN, favorite author blogs, and feeds from favorite book stores. In a couple of instances, I noticed that the feed was not as current as the posts on the websites. Does anyone know why that is? I tried refreshing and resubscribing, but neither helped.
I think that setting up an RSS feed would be useful to some of our patrons (and to staff). I looked at the Hennepin County Library feed which informs patrons about library programs, services, changes in hours, etc. I found http://www.kegliography.blogspot.com/ by Jay Kegley to be an interesting mix of library and general technology news. Our library subscribes to BookLetters which has a feed. Patrons can sign up for a large number of newsletters (booklists, author bios, etc.) via our website and receive updates through their reader.

You are hysterical! I was trying to read this quietly - in the office - but tears were coming to my eyes and finally I had to laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to keeping up with your posts.
I don't quite understand your reaction, but I look forward to being your BFF. Someone posted before you, so I will be that person's BBFF, but if you don't mind seconds...
