Week 2 for our homework we have to create an RSS feeder. I already use blogarithm.com. I receive one email a day that lists the blogs I have added to my feeder, with new posts and their url. I have numerous library blogs that are on my list. I usually don’t look at them every day but there are a few like Annoyed Librarian and Librarian in Black that are entertaining and that I look at now and then.
We also have to look at and comment about a wiki for our homework. I often use Wikipedia for personal use and at work. When I come across a term or something unfamiliar here at work Wikipedia will often be my first stop. For example, yesterday we were talking about closed captioning and wondered what the difference between that and films for the hearing impaired was. Wikipedia was our first stop to try and get a handle on the terms. I usually don’t rely on Wikipedia as the know all and be all answer but it is a nice place to start when you are researching a topic or an item.
We have a wiki here in our department that we post all our workflow, procedures and meeting minutes and notes on. I love it to death as before the wiki we each wrote up our own notes or “cheat sheets” and there was no consistency and everybody had something different written down.
We are suppose to comment on what we think our final assignment will be – don’t know but looking forward to it!
