Thing 9 Adding Blogs and Feeds-- How To

The search tool that was the easiest for me was blog rolls. Searching for blogs like searching for articles is not the best way for me—I agree with CoolCatTeacher blog on the best ways to find blogs that are interesting, valuable, and help me surround myself with words form the wise in my field. There is simply too much out there to subscribe to each log that catches my eye. I could never read them all, interesting or not. In fact, I have added too many to my reader now and I will have to prune some away as I discover which ones meet my needs the best.

None of them were confusing—but searching for commentary (blog entries) is not the same as searching for information. The types of search engines I worked through for this exercise were not helpful to me. BUT, the suggestions of great blogs, the blog rolls of those bloggers, and the ideas presented in the Library2Play entry were very helpful.
I added several new feeds to my reader—most likely too many—and I will find time to read them and keep what is great and cull what is not. I added new feeds on library business as well as education. Between work, my reader, Facebook and reading real books, I may have to hire someone to do the chores around here!
