23 Things

You have reached my blog for 23 Things which Maryland Public Libraries are investigating this summer. What a great way to introduce staff to the new technologies available on the web. I look forward to the fun and the learning! ~ Ann

Week 4 - RSS and Merlin

#8 RSS Feeds
Making life simple...what a novel idea in these busy times. I knew something like RSS would be "invented", but was not aware that it was already here and so easy to use. I especially liked the 23 things tutorial with the hands flying around, busy hands. http://www.bloglines.com/

I have created an account with Bloglines. No doubt, I have selected more than I actually have time to read, but will try it out and deselected the ones that aren't relevant.

#9 Merlin
I have a Merlin account and need to check it much more than I do. RSS feeds for this is the perfect solution to keep me in touch with up to date information about new technologies. The Merlin site is a golden resource that needs to be tapped into. http://www.merlin.lib.md.us/
