Groups and profiles

Hi there!

I've just searched facebook for library groups, and I found this Library 2.0 Interest
Group. I thought it was kinda cool, so watch it out yourself, if you're interested.

I also found this group called, No, I don't look like a librarian! and I think that almost
everybody in our class kan relate to that phrase in some way, cause many of us have
heard it before. ;)

If you want to find profiles over librarians on facebook, you only have to search for
"librarian" and you'll find quite a list.

Rss reader and Library 2.0 blogs

I use Google Reader to keep up to date with the blogs I follow, and I have placed it in my IGoogle.

Usually, I only folllow my friends' blogs, so I have taken some of your suggestions as a starting point in search for Library 2.0 blogs.
I choose What I Learned Today, a blog about web 2.0 that seems really interesting, and Library Hacks and Mélange, which gives us really good links and tips about Library 2.0 and web 2.0.

Sharing interesting blog contents

Great to see all the good Library 2.0 blogs you have found :-)

With all the interesting things you read on the blogs it would be nice if you all will share some of those interesting things with us on this blog the rest of course :-)

Web 2.0 sites, RSS and Blogs..

Last weeks assignment:
I am a lurker on these sites:
Internet Movie Database, Wikipedia, Scope (a danish site a little like Internet Movie Database), aok, Litteratursiden (danish site about litterature).

This weeks assignment:
I use iGoogle for RSS.

Found these blogs:
iLibrarian
News and resources on Library 2.0 and the information revolution.
Written by Ellyssa Kroski,a Reference Librarian at Columbia University’s Butler Library.

Meredith Farkas' blog.
According to herself: "A librarian, writer and tech geek reflecting on the profession and the tools we use to serve our patrons"

This blog will report news and developements regarding a book called "Information Literacy meets Library 2.0" edited by Peter Godwin and Jo Parker - just thought it looked interesting.

Tinas library blogs

I've found the following blogs both interesting and useful.

Library 2.0: An academic's perspective - Even though it's not active anymore, there are many interesting things to read about the developement of Library 2.0

BiblioTech Web - A blog about how technology can improve both communication, research and learning in the librarians daily life. (the web site also includes many great links to other library blogs)

Ricklibrarian - The blog debate books, websites, movies and stuff that has something to do with libraries and librarianship. I think it's cozy and relaxed.

When it comes to my rss reader, I use igoogle.

Library 2.0 blogs, Rss..

I have never used RSS reader before. But I have started to follow Google Reader :)) I used google blog search so I found about library 2.0 blogs there... One of them;
"Information literacy meets library 2.0 " is related with library 2.0 and new technology. In addition they aim to share news and comment about developments over coming months. And I also found "Neyjude" that is you should find interesting comments about library 2.0 and web 2.0. The last blog is "library 2.0" which is for librarian and interested in library 2.0.

Library 2.0 and RSS

I will leave my status as a lurker and try to contribute to this course blog. I have not been af frequent reader or contributor to blogs, maybe that will chance? I have looked into some of your recommendations and there are several blogs I would like to explore further. My first recommendation is Libraryweb chick created by a librarien named Karen Coombs. The content seems relevant and interesting and the blog has a good layout, which is also important to me. Healthlibrary-web 2.0 Is a blog (It calls itself a blog) about web 2.0 and how it can be used by health professionals, for example how wikis are used in health science libraries. The blog resembles an ordinary website in many ways. But it is possible to comment on the different issues. I think it is an interesting collection of links to articles about wikis, blogs etc. for health professionals.
Ups, I forgot about the RSS reader, I use Bloglines.

Links from Farkas' book

When you read the chapters from Farkas' book, with all her good examples of Library 2.0 sites, you can find links to those sites here: http://www.sociallibraries.com/links

RSS reader and Library 2.0 blogs

I have chosen to subscribe to bloglines.com. I have never used a RSS reader before so I am still exploring what the possibilities are…

The page technorati.com helped me find interesting blogs about library 2.0. The blogs I will follow are these 3 blogs:

M. Farkas’s blog
Maybe too obvious, but she seems like an important and interesting person when it comes to library 2.0

Michael Casey
He is commenting on different library 2.0 issues (and now also on a certain US election…)

What I learned today…
It seems like an interesting site, and it seems to be updated often.

iCarolines Librarian blogs

After first discovering Librarian Bloggers, I stumbled over the blog:
What I´ve learned today By Nicole C. Engard. It’s a blog about Web 2.0 and programming tips from a library technology enthusiast, wich seems interesting as she reviews the web 2.0 tools.

I will also keep an eye on Jess from Massachusetts and her blog Cool Librarian because she sort of undergoes the frustrations and successes of being a librarian 2.0

Finally a funny one to scout through is Library Revolution, especially Librarians and Technology: minimal competences.

I know we are only supposed to follow/find 3 blogs but this is also great.

Ruths bling bling blond blog.....

To start with I signed up for the RSS feed from the course blog, and then installed igoogle, very smart and very very easy to use.
Then I tried to find three interesting blogs that mention or write about web or library 2.0..and the first blogger I found interesting was a librarian named David Lee King.
Then on my way, came Lauren who is also a librarian, and blogs about different things, among her different post on the blog, there is a lot about web 2. 0.
Finally there is the social networking librarian, Annalaura Brown. Her main interest is library 2.0.
Thats all for now.
Have a great weekend. See you all next friday.

Kristina's blogs to follow

According to the assignment, I have been browsing for library 2.0 blogs to follow, and they are as follows:

1. Librarian by day because it has Library 2.0 as a main subject, it is personal, I like the tone it is written in.
2. The annoyed librarian because is is a humorous approach to library and to the things that colour our every-day-life. :o)
3. The invisible library because it is a personal blog, with both topics of news, his own musings, open source.

I found the two first blogs using bloglines (maybe not directly, but that was the starting point...) and the last one i found using a plain google search "librarian blog".

I use Google reader to view my rss-feeds. :o)
