RSS Feed

Feedin’ and Readin’

Posted on March 31st, 2006 by Brenda

I like blogs. I scan a lot of them regularly and have a few that I read religiously. Without Bloglines, I think I would be overwhelmed by trying to keep up. Bloglines is my RSS reader — I can scan a list of the blogs I like, to see which ones have been updated since I last looked at them. If you’re new to RSS feeds and readers, you may want to check out this article from TechCrunch. It overviews some of the RSS feed readers that are out there. My vote goes to Bloglines — anyone out there using something different and wonderful that you would like to recommend?

Web 2.0

Posted on March 30th, 2006 by Brenda

If you subscribe to the print version of Newsweek, you may have already scanned the article “The New Wisdom of the Web.” If not, check it out online. MySpace, Flickr, and other social technologies are explored and future possibilities are discussed. A lot of this will be review if you’re a regular reader of this blog, but this might be an interesting article to pass along to board members, patrons, and even staff members who are new to thinking about the implications of social technologies.

Gaming in Libraries

Posted on March 22nd, 2006 by Brenda

Gaming in libraries is a HOT topic this year! Read about various gaming events on the LibrarySuccess site. If you’ve been hosting gaming events in your library, consider adding your information to the wiki, too. Let the larger library world know about the cool things that are happening right here in Kansas! (Nortonville, Silver Lake,… who else?)

Tech Day 2006

Mark your calendars! I’m excited to announce that NEKLS Tech Day 2006 will be held on Thursday, August 10th. Details are still, of course, being worked out, but our keynote speaker will be Michael Stephens, author of the Tame the Web blog. His presentation topic will be: “Toward Library 2.0 — Planning, People, and Participation”.
