		<title>Let Amazon take care of it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Donald Barclay posted a much lauded article on the American Libraries website discussing the need in academic libraries to move part of their collections off-site because of space issues.   Those that resist this move (faculty, students, and alumni) often point to the importance of browsing as a facilitator of exploratory learning.  Barclay postulates [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter&#8211;A Love Affair?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twitter and I didn&#8217;t used to get along.  I wanted to use it.  I wanted to like it.  But it just didn&#8217;t work for me.  At first&#8230;  While brevity was good, I yearned for substance found more in blogs than in 140 character tweets.  I also found it unnecessarily difficult to follow a conversation&#8211;something Facebook [...]]]></description>

		<title>ode to e-books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the day after the big ipad release what the world doesn&#8217;t need now is  another post about current e-book trends and what the ipad will do to  revolutionize the medium.  But I&#8217;m still going to do it.  Why?  Back in  July, I gave a big &#8220;thanks, but no thanks&#8221; to e-books.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cataloging the World&#8217;s Books Wiki-Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A couple of weeks ago, the Internet Archive&#8217;s, Open Library, rolled out a  soft launch of their new web design.  I checked out the Open Library  website awhile back and found it to be an interesting project, but the  design of the site did not really pull me in.  Although I liked [...]]]></description>

		<title>The best search engine for your needs&#8211;maybe not who you think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you run to Google every time you have a pressing question and expect that it will return the best results on your subject?  Or have you decided to switch over to Bing, the new kid on the block?  Perhaps you have a nostalgic place in your heart for the Yahoo search engine?  Well, put [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running to e-books?  Not me.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been trying to gather my thoughts concerning e-books for awhile now, after I heard about possible initiatives by California&#8217;s governor to switch out e-books for textbooks and similar initiatives in other states.  While e-books were touted as he next big thing years ago, they didn&#8217;t seem to really hit the big time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death of The Printed Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It appears as though The Printed Blog has met its inevitable end, with its founder pulling the plug earlier this week due to lack of advertising funds and investment capital.  I originally wrote about The Printed Blog back in February and questioned its staying power.  Though a fairly novel concept, it seemed like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving beyond Meebo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across an interesting post today on David Lee King’s blog discussing the use of LibraryH3lp in the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library website. LibraryH3lp is a chat and instant messaging platform that supports multiple users and message cues.

		<title>Sharing RSS bundles with Google Reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Google announced a new service today through Google Reader that allows users to bundle and share groups of RSS feeds with others. They make it very easy to create a bundle (the best instructions I found were from Lifehacker), but I’m not quite sold on their sharing options. Right now, users can email the bundle [...]]]></description>
