Bloglines

I have now entered the world of Blogline by setting up my account and setting my preferences.
I find Blogline interesting in that it brings all the little bits and pieces together.

I don't think I will be using the site in the future through because I still find it easier to visit the sites I want by URL.

I also found that Blogline did not cut all advertising for the sites which was disappointing, if there is one annoying thing on the web it would be the advertisements that flash up or flash in the side bar which distracts you from reading the actual web site.

Blogging altogether is very interesting, it gives a voice to people that I wouldn't ordinarily get to read.

Some on my favorite library related blogs include:

http://www.librarianidol.blogspot.com/
and
http://librariansmatter.com/blog/index.php

I also like the library related websites such as:

http://www.warriorlibrarian.com/ROFL/opac.html

It is great when we can meet the needs of library uses and staff with technology. See the new Beta site below, it has many Australian Newspapers archived online. They even have the old 1870 editions of the NT times which are particularly helpful to direct students too as it saves all the trouble with trying to operate the microfilm machine.
