Bards Blower Songs

RSS-feeds…I tend to use the build-in RSS reader in my browser (Avant Browser) for a few simple reasons. It’s handy and with a right bar in the browser, easy to use – and a small sign pops up every time anything new happens on one of the blogs I’m following.

I know that none of this these are new, but since it wasn’t the assignment to find new blogs, but just to find some blogs, I don’t think it matters. I have chosen several blogs to follow:
The three I will be watching closely is:

  • Farkas’s blog, for the obvious reasons. It’s her view point of web 2.0 that we are working with and therefore it is easier to set in on her writing style.
  • iLibrarian, seams to have a broad range within the subject. It’s almost daily updated and have a blogroll with links to many of the other blogs listed by my co-students.
  • This was the hard one, I wanted to take one with personality and humour, and I think both librarycrunch and ricklibrarian holds these characteristics. But in this case I’ll let the design win and choose ricklibarian, only because it’s easier to read.

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.
