      • I am SHARING and USING the following information, instead of making this up on my own, because it has been presented very well , by another colleague, who has put it on the Web.

    13. Blogs & RSS info is taken from:
      • Engage Your Users with Blogs and RSS: Create Community, Take Your Content to Them Jenny Levine The Shifted Librarian American Library Association. [email_address] http://www.ticer.nl/06carte/program/3.htm
    14. A “blog” (or “weblog”) is a web site that:
      • is organized chronologically by date (newest entries are usually at the top);
      • self-archives by date (done by software);
      • is updated somewhat regularly with relatively short entries;
      • includes links, more links, and still more links;
      • uses a unique URL (called a “permalink”) for each individual post;
      • filters the information universe for you (voice);
      • provide an “RSS feed” that “syndicates” the content and lets you read posts in a separate reader called an “aggregator” (I come to you!)
    15. 5 Easy Steps to Blogging
      • 1. Open a web browser
      • 2. Log in to your blogging software
      • 3. Go to “new/create entry”
      • 4. Type text in a box
      • 5. Click submit button
      • THAT’S ALL FOLKS!
    16. Blog Software

      • http://www.movabletype.org/
      • http://wordpress.org/
      • http://drupal.org/
      • … .
    17. What Blogs Do for You
      • Blogs help “tell your story” to your audience
      • What’s new
      • Staff communication & knowledge
      • Information literacy
      • Repackaging information you’re already disseminating
      • Community
      • “ Voice” – humanizes your institution
    18. Blogs to manage internal knowledge
      • K-logs – knowledge sharing http://groups.yahoo.com/group/klogs/

      • WPopac – http ://www.plymouth.edu/library/opac/ http://wpopac.blogs.plymouth.edu/
    20. Libraries and Blogging: The Next Level (2)
      • Libraries are hosting/controlling blog & wiki software within organizations
      • Offer it to staff and students fro free
    21. Advantages of Blogging
      • Distributes the workload
      • Don’t need to know HTML or an editing program
      • Can update your site from anywhere
      • Lets you concentrate on content, not the process
      • Makes your site more dynamic (how much of your site changes? 10%?)
      • Helps you stay current
    22. Disadvantages of Blogging
      • Distributes the workload, but that means more people have to commit to adding content
      • Don’t need to know HTML or an editing program, but there is a slight learning curve
      • Can update your site from anywhere as long as you have a web browser and internet access
      • Lets you concentrate on content, not the process, but you need to have content
      • Makes your site more dynamic, but only if you keep updating it
      • Danger of information overload

    25. RSS is :
      • really hard to describe
      • a form of XML
      • stands for :
        • Rich Site Summary
        • RDF Site Summary
        • Really Simple Syndication
      • is best understood when you actually use it!
    26. Some facts
      • RSS is really for machines to read, not humans.
      • It’s an XML schema
      • The RSS file updates itself automatically.
      • Atom = syndication (http://www.atomenabled.org/)
      • You can tell there is an RSS “feed” if you see:
      • “ Syndicate this site”
    27. You need an aggregator
      • Desktop or web-based

      • Bloglines

    31. Advantages of RSS
      • Did I mention fewer clicks make you more efficient?
      • Works well for reading frequently OR infrequently updated sites
      • No spam (yet)
      • Starting to see ads, mostly text-based, but not as bad as the web
      • Started with tech pubs (InfoWorld, PC World, Engadget), now expanding but incentive for moderation
      • No pop-up ads, no full-screen ads
      • Don’t go blind trying to read blue text on a pink background
    32. Disadvantages of RSS
      • Some feeds only provide headlines or an excerpt
      • Not everything is RSS-ified yet
      • Your subscription list can keep growing and growing and growing (Jenny=250, wavesmash=1847)
      • Few customization options (this is changing)
      • Little filtering by keyword (this is changing)
      • Difficult to synchronize aggregator between multiple computers (future is web-based)
      • Learning curve (XM-RS-what?)
