I’ve been sick, so now I am gasping to get caught up with the Web 2.0 class.  I created this blog, made some blog entries, and set up an RSS reader with several RSS feeds.  Like everyone else I know, I am drowning in too much information, and while I hate to miss anything I also can’t deal with the endless din. 

I have been thinking about blogs, and how I might use them in the library.  I doubt that people would look up my blog, but this might be one way to put together diverse information on a particular topic for some interdisciplinary groups I work with.  For example, the health literacy work group might be interested in a blog if I kept adding significant new information that would be relevant to our work. 

I suspect that RSS feeds would be more popular with our clientele.  I could show the doctors how to load feeds for their favorite journals, their academies, etc. into a reader and then link the reader to their MyLinks utility that follows their login on the hospital network.  Perhaps I will prepare a Camtasia online video showing people how to do that, using examples that they can relate to their work.
