Week Four - Thing #9

I enjoyed looking at http://libraryblogs.suprglu.com/ for ideas for promoting books and libraries. The archives section was useful to access past news. And I loved the Pimp My Bookcart contest photos - http://www.unshelved.com/PimpMyBookcart/2008/
Feedster was unavailable for investigation so I turned to Syndic8.com Syndic8 is an open directory of RSS feeds that contains thousands of RSS feeds that users have submitted.

Here I found Teen Reads at http://www.ccrls.org/woodburn/rss/teens.rss which has RSS feeds for new teen book recommendations.

I also checked out technorati.com where I found http://www.technorati.com/pop/books/ Of course not everything there was directed at a high school library but it did make for an interesting spread of information.

Google blog search was useful. I looked up high school libraries – and got lots of ideas. It was easy to use and quick to load.

Check out Stony Brook Library’s Research Guide where there are links to

Blogpulse.com gave interesting feedback under searches for high school libraries.
