This has really been an interst week and exposed me to a technology that before now I had never really used.
SJCPL Subject Guide wiki - I found the St Joseph County Public Library site very interesting and informative.
The Full Library Success: A best practices wiki - I could have spent hours going through the huge amount of information this site has to offer and it was easy to use, I have also discovered that Learning 2.0 continues with Learning 2.1.
Book Lovers Wiki - which is Princeton Public Library has the bases of being a very good site although there is not a lot of information in it as it was finished in 2006. The link to Read Around the World has much more information.
After looking at the Wookieepedia site, and being a Lord of the Rings fan, I found that there is a wiki for LOTR, this is a site that I may contribute to.
The Book Lovers Wiki would be a good example to use in our own library as patrons could submit their favourite books and series.

Week 4 RRS
For the purpose of this weeks activity I decided to search for my artistic interests in pastels and drawing. I found it a bit difficult to tie down anything relating to this area of interest, but as they say persistence pays off and I managed to find several in the long run.
The feeds I subscribed to were: Abstract Art Pool; The Pastel Journal Blog; The Pastel Pointers Blog; The Pastel Artist Group; Charcoal and Pencil Drawing Blog and The Powerhouse Museum.
While I am sure there are many people who would use Bloglines I don't think at the moment that I am one of those people. Being the first time that I have used this service I think I would need to spend a lot more time using it to feel comfortable. In searching for blogs to subscribe to I found a great deal of rubbish and blogs that were inaccurate and not up to date. This is where the value of blogs is lost because anyone and everyone can have a blog.
I can see the value in it for some people and for libraries who want to keep track of specific feeds that they find important, but at the moment I don't think the value is there for me.
