Using Bloglines, I set up RSS feeds for School Library blogs and Open Access blogs. These will supplement my Google Reader account, where I’m trying to read regularly on the topics of Library 2.0 and Digital Preservation. The question is how I’ll follow 5-10 more blogs in addition to the 5-10 that I was already trying to keep up with.
Now, a confession. Each of these blogs were recommended in workshops or articles. It’s nerdy, but I actually kept lists of blogs I’ve intended to read when I got the chance! So, I haven’t actually “searched” on my own as Thing #9 might anticipate, and I haven’t yet practiced using the blog search tools.
It took me all afternoon to do the initial project of setting up and reading the new RSS feeds. I’ve run out of steam for further exploration at the moment.
Thank goodness I have the opportunity to experience “23 Things” during summer break when I have larger chunks of time available. On the other hand, I lose the benefit of doing it with colleagues in physical proximity who might be able to demonstrate what they’re doing or answer questions. Does the NELINET blogroll serve as the summer support group, or is there a simpler way to communicate with Moodle classmates?
