So today I searched for librarian blog postings about privacy, using the Mashup Rollyo to do so (it allows you to create a personalized search engine, "searchroll," by selecting particular Web sites). As I'd expect, there were plenty of results! librarian.net does a good job of tagging posts, so I was able to find all of her privacy-related posts. I was particularly interested in a few postings

I've been a fan of podcasting (Web broadcasting of audio files using push technology) for a while now, especially once NPR jumped on the bandwagon. Buying an iPod Nano didn't hurt, either!A great place to find podcasts is Podcast Alley, particularly if you're not using iTunes. Even if you are an iTunes user, Podcast Alley is still an excellent resource.There's a huge variety of podcasts now,

Last week I added a new photo album to my Facebook account, with some garden photos. I'm including a few here, too.It was really easy to upload photos to both Facebook and Blogger, plus I already use Google's Picasa software. One side of my family created a Picasa web album so that everyone (it's a big family!) could upload and share photos.But other than that private web album I keep most of

Google Docs (Beta) is pretty cool, I can see it as useful to students working on a group project or by faculty co-authoring a manuscript. It could also be used by members of a professional association, such as a working group or officers who need to draft or edit a document before presenting it to the rest of the association. I've used the Google spreadsheet to update my contact information

Today I added the del.icio.us Linkrolls script to this blog. Pretty cool feature. I also added the del.icio.us application to my Facebook profile.It's definitely an easy way to access my bookmarks/favorites from any PC with an Internet connection. I uploaded all of my Firefox bookmarks to del.icio.us, but kept most of them private for now. Some I shared, though, and added tags.The automatic

I have to say, I like LinkedIn and Facebook more than MySpace, but they are all excellent examples of social networking sites. LinkedIn is geared towards professionals, and its privacy features are much more rigorous than at Facebook or MySpace. However, Facebook does have a number of privacy options.While Facebook is not specifically designed for professional networking, I've used it in that

So I was recently asked, "What's the difference between a blog and a wiki? What are they, anyway?"Here's the answer that I usually give; it may be basic, but I think it's a good start for someone unfamiliar with blogs and wikis.A blog (like this one) is generally maintained by just one person (sometimes one organization or department). S/he may post links, write about items of interest, discuss

I've heard some complaints from patrons trying to use Google Reader™ to set up a PubMed® RSS feed, particularly those using Mozilla Firefox®.I’d like to suggest that you switch to the free web-based service called Bloglines® instead. I’ve used Bloglines for over a year, and I can set up PubMed RSS feeds in Firefox with no problem at all. I much prefer Bloglines to Google Reader (which I tried

Welcome to the Kiwano Librarian blog!The Kiwano Health Sciences Library website links to many useful RSS feeds (including one for this blog). We emphasize RSS feeds for the major medical journals, but we welcome your suggestions for adding to the virtual collection.Our librarians have embraced RSS feeds as a replacement for clunky table-of-contents services and email alerts.
