#9 Explore MERLIN and then locate a few other useful library-related blogs and/or news feeds

Discovery Exercise:

1. Explore some of the search tools noted above that can help you locate some news feeds.

2. Find the feed for our MERLIN site and subscribe so that you get the latest news. (Hint: It is located on the Home page) Done on 8/23.... easy enough to do! :)

3. Create a blog post about your experience. Don't know what to blog about? Here some questions to think about ...Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use? Which Search tool was the easiest for you? Which was more confusing? What kind of unuseful feeds did you find in your travels? Or what kind of unusual ones did you find? What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds?

I thought a lot of these were a bit confusing... in terms of use. I really didn't find any library related blogs or feeds that I felt like subscribing to (other than the ones I had mentioned in the previous post)....
