Item # 9 - Finding feeds
OK! Some of my favourite web sites don't have RSS function. After searching on Feedster and Technocrati, I came across some interesting blogs and added them to my Bloglines account.
One of them is "Infoscience". This blog has a weekly post - Carnival of the Infoscience. The posts relate to the topics of the library world and modern technology, and give us a new perspective to the discussion on Internet and Libraries 2.0. You can see the link to Infosicence under my list of feeds - item #8 on my blog.
Another interesting blog that I added to my feedreader is "Library Geek Woes". This blog is about the future of the libraries, new technology, library blogging and reinventing the library in the Internte era.
And finally - "The shifted Librarian", quite well-known blog, by Jenny Levine. You can read about her in the 'Library Journal' , 3/5/2003. Her goal is -" ... to help us librarians to become as technologically adept as our user". The blog is about the 'information shifting', of making it more portable and how the change is affecting the libraries.
I came across a lot of interesting posts an articles and became overwhelmed by the amount of information available. Now it is important to know where to stop.

Item # 8 - RSS
http://www.bloglines.com/public/yarnspinner.
Hurray, here is a link to my feeds.
The idea about the RSS is great, but when I started to add the feeds to the Bloglines, it was too many to read on a regular basis. I like the word "aggregator". To use Bloglines was easy, it is web-based and quite user- friendly. There are more aggregators on a market, but I am quite happy to know how to use one or two. I want to keep an eye on my colleagues' blogs and I subscribed to the blogs from other libraries as well. I need at least one Health and Wellness feed, some News updated and I subscribed to Recent Australian publications as well. The most difficult part was to create a link. It took a mutual effort between 3-4 colleagues to work out how to share the bloglets (feeds) and make them public.
