(Thing 6) The Care and Feeding of a Librarian's Reading List

I still don't think I will use this much, but it's interesting looking through blogs I already visit and seeing the RSS options I'd never noticed before. I could have instant access to ANYthing from one place, but for my personal use, I don't use Google Reader that way. I'm interested to know how other library staff use it, but for myself, I prefer to get e-mail updates from my particular sites.

So here are a few favourite library sites.

My good friend Steev Baker is the librarian at the Kewaskum Public Library in Wisconsin where I think he almost single-handedly runs a 12,000 volume library, and I don't think he's even had time to finish his degree yet. Check out the site; he's someone you'll want to have a conversation with.

I had a difficult time finding anything of value doing a Technorati search for 'library, libraries, librarians' but I did happen across Literary Mama which is a site dedicated to balancing creativity with motherhood, so I'll be inclined to revisit this one.

Part of my job at the library is to add to our spanish collection, so I found the New York Public Library Novedades to be helpful in finding popular spanish titles.
