Aggregator evangelism

Like Meredith, I am thrilled to have a mention in this month's issue of Walt Crawford's Cites and Insights. I wrote Bloglines for Librarians in Three (and a half) Easy Steps for some of my classmates and I know that several followed through (that's how easy it really is!).

When I'm a working academic librarian, I'm thinking of doing similar things for other fields--Bloglines for Psychology Majors, for example. If you want to steal that idea, go right ahead. Just send me an email so that I can steal it back.

On the topic of RSS, I just put a new paper up on my School Projects page. It's the paper I wrote for Digital Libraries about RSS. I learned a lot about the provider's view of RSS when it doesn't come automatically from blogging software. I thought what I had learned was all fairly theoretical, but it was quite helpful to have that knowledge when I made a pig's breakfast of my feeds a couple of weeks ago.     #
