things five and six

After much hemming and hawing, asking my genius son and willing husband, I have found a bit about RSS feeds. If I needed to keep up to the minute about the current news, this might be be useful. Previous to this experience I have used " Bookmarks" and "Favorites" to keep up with those web sites/ businesses/ friends/ articles/catalogues that I am interested in. The RSS seems like a duplication of that process.

During the exercise of Thing 6 I found a real puzzlement as to what a useful library related blog might be. Granted if I were to search/ click/ backup/ and otherwise search for hours and hours on the Internet I bet some interesting articles or resources could be found. Saying all that, I am doing these exercises at home, at the library where I WORK, my time is filled with discharging and displaying books/moving books as needed/helping patrons find books/ general housekeeping/ phone answering and such. How I can search the net for RSS feeds/ and interesting library blogs and meet the needs for our library patrons , is a serious conflict of priorities and interest.
