Thing 14 FEEDS AND BLOGS

Thing 14 (finding library blogs and news feeds)
Wow, I have to admit, this really took me some time, much sweat, and frustration to complete. With all this web suff we're researching, I can tell my brain is on overload, so some of these assignments are taking longer to process. But, it's all good, I'm getting it done.

Every time I have to query I enter "elementary school libraries." What I found in this experience was it didn't filter for just elementary school libraries. I got all kinds of school library stuff, including academic libraries and such. But at least I got stuff. I found one blog from a new librarian who blogs about keeping orderly and sane in a new world(http://librarygrits.blogspot.com/.) I'm in the same boat. I really will follow this one for sure. The other blog is about keeping patrons "in line" and approachable (http://libetiquette.blogspot.com/.) Always good to know techniques for working with a myriad of patrons.

All in all, this exercise was like a ride on the Collosus at Lagoon. The first time, you have no idea what to expect, when the big loops were coming, or how you'll fare. But when it's over, and you keep going back many more times, you know what to expect, but it's still just a little exciting and you realize you really like it.
