Week #3 - Finding Information

For my RSS reader I was not sure what to select, I did a search for www.ocls.info and the general announcements rss was returned so I added it. I was stumped trying to think of other sites that may have RSS so I used the quick pick subscriptions link and scrolled through the most popular subscriptions. In addition to OCLS general announcements I now have CNN, Dictionary.com, Quotes of the day and The Shifted Librarian. I am looking forward to gaining information in a quick and easy way!

I had not used Grokker before and I found the map view feature to be very similar to the reference interview. I searched for the very broad subject of horses, Grokker took my large subject and broke it down into smaller ones, to help me define my search to what I was really after.

I am a hands on learner, I learn by doing rather than watching. learn 2.0 is working with my learning style because I am able to explore what is being talked about and do activities with the new technology. I am thankful for the step by step guide because it helps me to really understand how to use the new software.
