Week 3

This week we looked at RSS feeds and social bookmarking. These were two things that I was not that familiar with. I had an idea about what they were, but I didn't know exactly how they worked and how they could be useful. I really learned a lot this week, I had never used a reader page and really enjoy it. The bookmarking is also a handy tool. I think I am going to be addicted to both very soon.

my del.icio.us account is alm180 check out what I bookmarked.

week 2

This week we were asked to set up our own blog to keep track of the things we learn in this program. I am familiar with blogs and have kept some in the past. We use a blog at work to keep staff members up to date on new library happenings. I find them really useful and enjoyable. When I have attempted to keep a personal blog I always end up neglecting it. My goal is to maintain this blog throughout the program and keep a record of what I have learned. One thing I am interested in is how to customize a blog to make it more interesting. If anyone knows some good websites for doing this I would like to know about them.
