#6 - Bloglines and RSS

While I've known about RSS for some time now, I've been avoiding it completely as I've been afraid of its potential for time spending. Bloglines could definitely be useful in saving a little time, but there are soooo many interesting blogs out there... I'm wary of doing #7! I can see I'll have to choose carefully.

On a different note, I don't like the visual aspects of bloglines. (In fact I think it is ugly.) I also find it hard to read and my eyes jump around the page a lot. Perhaps I need to check out another reader.

Life Long Learning

I've always considered myself a lifelong learner. In fact, I think it's one of the reasons I became a librarian in the first place. I never enjoyed traditional methods of learning such as lecture in a classroom, but I've always like facts, information and hands-on learning. (In fact, I can remember reading the encyclopedia as a child because I'd run out of library books.) In the library I have the opportunity to learn every day. Whether it's by necessity or just because a customer asked an interesting question, I have the tools to pursue the answer.

Looking over the 7 1/2 habits of the life long learner, I don't feel that any specific one will be hard for me. I knew immediately that 'Play' would be the easiest. In fact, I'll have to be careful to not get carried away and spend too much time 'playing'.
