Before this exercise, I used Fliker a few times just for work purposes. My library recently created an account to share great event moments as one of the ways to have an online present. We do have a photo sharing policy- all of the photos presented online capture a group setting or images with only one or two people we obtain written consent from the individuals. Our patrons really enjoy viewing the pictures and it brings a sense of community.

Method 4- Making Life " really simple" with RSS
Well it is really simple to use the Google reader that even before this exercise I had already set it up. It was one of the features I utilized when I created my Gmail account to work on this program. At the initial set-up, I added six of my favorite author and librarian blogs to my reader. These sites where the ones I would visit quite often (one site at a time.) Bringing them all into one reader is very useful and time saving. I enjoy these blogs because they are funny and insightful. Shannon Hale's http://oinks.squeetus.com/ site is one of my favorites, she is a stitch. It is so fun to read about her writing projects but also the news about her husband and her new babies. Another fun blog that I enjoy reading is from the librarian Abby Johnson (http://www.abbythelibrarian.com/) This compelling and very informative site gives really great book recommendations and advice for librarian.
Then for this exercise, I searched through the recommended sites for some new web pages to add to the reader. I discovered an amusing travel blog (www.everywhereist.com) and the scholarly Harvard Business Review (www.HBR.org.)
Now with this reader, I will stay current, entertained, and informed with each of my selected sites.
