RSS feeds

Wow! There is so much information out there, I worry about subscribing to too many blogs, because the amount of time it would take to read all of the information would quickly become overwhelming! It already takes way too much time to read e-mails, without asking for more information!

BUT

I think that RSS feeds, if used very selectively would be a wonderful way to keep up to date on the latest info available on a given subject.

I have added a few blogs through the quick blogger, which I will have to delete, as I have no intention of ever reading them (I will probably keep the joke of the day if they are any good!), but I have also added a few blogs of interest, after finding them on Google Blog Search.

Storytelling with Children podcast, and Henna Tattoos Blog were of particular interest to me.

As you can see from my profile pic, I am a children's storyteller (pic taken at the Norman Lindsay Gallery, Springwood, for the National Children's Literature Festival). As you can see from my user name, I am also a mehendi artist (henna tattooist)

Flickr photos

I love my heavy rock music! Have you noticed? I'm not a quiet librarian ..... lol
This is Black Label, my favourite Aussie pub rock band. I have added this photo from Photobucket, as that is where I have my account.


I've been having a look around Flickr. There are some great library photos, some fantastic henna tattoos and lots of good photos of bands by my friend Troy (MystifyMe). He goes to lots of concerts and takes photos of the bands.



Some that he has gone to in the last year or two include: Pink, KISS, Divinyls, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, Justin Timberlake, Silverchair, Powderfinger, Kelly Clarkson and Good Charlotte.



If you like any of those bands, have a look at Troy's pics that he has uploaded onto Flickr.

Lee Learning Library 2.0

What a fantastic opportunity! To learn Library 2.0 from my desk at work, without having to go anywhere or take time out attending workshops...
Now.... What am I hoping to learn? Whatever I can to keep up with the kids and youth. To be able to create (or know what I am talking about when I ask someone else to create for me) websites and blogs, social networks (I really DON'T think that library myspace works for youth. I've had a look at a few library pages on there and they are not used).
Then I want to find out what RSS feeds are? Wikis? Podcasts? Mashups? (Can I have gravy with that?)
Looking forward to learning a lot and being able to put it into practice!
