Another blog about librarians

When you have a moment, check out The Laughing Librarian. Be warned, some items may be offensive.

Week 4 of class - this stuff is great!

Week 4 of class -- we're learning bloglines

I think everyone knows I have an interest in Marketing and Friends groups, so the blogs I watch on my blogger account are:

Friends:Social Networking Sites for Engaged Library Services
The "M" Word - Marketing Libraries
Library Marketing - Thinking Outside the Book
The Happy Library

When my friend, Marsha and her husband Mel (who's a photographer) were teaching in China, they set up a blog, Working in Guangzhou. The blog acted as a diary for them and let the rest of us enjoy their trip and Mel's wonder photography.

Time is the primary advantage of an RSS over simply bookmarking your favorite blogs. You only have to go to one place rather than having to remember all the places you like to visit. Found something new -- add it to your newsreader!

Sometimes its kind of hard to find a blog when you're just searching for "library friends." You receive many hits and have to sort through the many entries that have nothing to do with what you're searching for.

Take a look at my Flickr page!

I'm learning so much ...

Take a look at my Flickr page to see the opening reception of the Friends of the GSU Library.

Flickr

Hello fellow classmates,

I would use flickr for personal photos as long as whoever is looking at them cannot determine my full name and where I live.

Check out the flickr photos I set up for the Friends at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsulibraryfriends

Lydia's blogging experience

Greetings all --I am thoroughly enjoying our experiences -- it's always great to learn something new.

I did create a blog last year, and haven't added to it in a while (it's more about Bryon and I and our two girls and the rest of our family). Feel free to check it out (but you will need a password to get in) at: http://lydiabryon.wordpress.com/

I hope to learn a variety of things from this class -- like what the younger generation is using on a daily basis. WebCT is a OK, still enjoy the "realtime" of a class discussion.

I do have some blogs that I look at, like:

• Friends : Social Networking Sites for Engaged Library Services
• Library Marketing : Thinking Outside the Book

Libraries could use a blog to learn and also to teach and share information.

Let me know what you think of this blog and my other one,

Lydia
