While exploring RSS feeds and what to add, I like to add blogs/feeds that support the library. I like School Library Journal and Blue Willow Bookshop. School Library Journal is more of a professinal site. I personally like Blue Willow because of the opportunities to meet authors and have them autograph books for school. Blue Willow provides a more intimate setting for meeting the authors and having discussions with them. I purchase books there, have the books autographed, and either added the autographed books to the collection or give away as reading incentive prizes. Blue Willow sponsored Teen Book Con this past spring and I am interested in taking a group of students this coming spring.
I located Blue Willow and Teen Book Con through the search component of Google Reader. Easy as pie to add to my list of "followings". Once I take some more time to think about what I would like to add to the Reader, I will go back and search for the sites.
Like I said in my previous post, I need to think about how to present Google Reader to my students and staff. I need to find several ways both can use this technology in their school lives.
