My Library Thing -- Catalog of Eckert Titles

I cataloged a small set of books by Allan W. Eckert on Indian Wars on the American frontier from 1750 to 1832. This is a very simple device that might see a goodly number of real catalogers rolling their eyes. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jimcasey1

Advantages of RSS Feeds for Libraries

It was fairly easy to find three useful blogs related to Libraries. The several I did find that had RSS feed options included "The Shifted Librarian" (Jenny Levine's Blog), American Library Association legislative alerts, N.Y. Times Book Reviews, BBC World News and Bloglines News. Libraries can employ RSS feeds on their web sites and thereby have undated, newsworthy material available automatically for their patrons. It is also easier for Library staff to examine relevant news without having to wade through long lists of e-mails.
