RSS blogline

Using RSS is a great way to keep tabs on things that interest you without having to constantly search for them or add them to your favourites. I choose some sites to do with books and recipes. This technology will work well as we can keep up to date with new books that are coming out and also to find out what is popular at the moment. It can also keep us up to date with current news from around the world. I joined a blog called Mommy's favorite children's books and am looking forward to watching it.

Social Networking 4

I can see this would be great to advertise what is happening in the library and also to let people know we are keeping up with technology. There are a lot of people who use this form of communication so it would be fantastic for answering questions and also getting suggestions from clients.
I could see that this could replace e-mailing and keep everyone in the loop.
It's a great way to bring like minded people together to share their interests.
It is also a very useful tool for internal use as well. Letting staff communicate with each other and keep up to date with the day to day happenings.
It is also a fun way to catch up with old friends, if they'll accept you as a friend that is. I love being able to go in and see photos of people that you have not seen for years. Love it!
