This was an easy week. Thanks to our awesome CFF coach, I set up bloglines account last spring. Some of the blogs I've kept up with are for fun but most have been really helpful. My biggest challenge was keeping the blogs I wanted to follow off the "blocked" list since many blogs seemed to get blocked by our former filtering system. My next challenge was reading everything. It's great to have all the posts come to one place but I still had to have the time to read them and once i got backed up, all was lost. While checking out some of the education and librarian blogs for this exercise, I came a across a blogger who kept up with about 100 new posts a day. I don't know how they did it since I was on information overload after a while.
I have a couple of favorite library blogs that I've gotten some great information and ideas from. My favorite for terrific sites is Library Internet Index. I love, love, love Tip Line by Jim Gates for so much tech information. While checking out new sites for this assignment, I came across a couple I added to bloglines. (I also created a Google Reader site to see how that works differently than bloglines.) I liked Blue Skunk Blog, Infodoodads, and Never Ending Search blog by Joyce Valenza on School Library Journal. I'm looking forward to keeping up with theirs blogs. I may revisit some of the ones I started out with and do some scaling back to keep things a little more manageable. It's better to have a few really great feeds and be able to keep on top of things than get lost from information overload.
