Summary

I found this entire excise to be very enlightening and interesting. This is a new age and it is moving fast. The library is definitely keeping up with the times.
Somethings I found to be very informative and could be very helpful. The library offerings will give you options that you can pick and choose. It will enable patrons to try these new innovations and explore this new world.

exercise #13 Finding Feeds

I used Gooogle reader and found Daily Intel which lead to this feed about Stony Brook Unv. Which I found very interesting and very easy to get to.
I think feeds are an excellent idea to find and research or just explore.

Exercise # 12 Feeds

I like this feed because it shows different events and current book options and patrons can use it to see something of interest ( as well as find cheap fares!)
You can slso view local events if need be.
