Thing 3: Set Up an RSS Account and Add Feeds

I've set up an account with Google Reader and subscribed to Tim Wilson's "The Savvy Technologist. His music storage project is something I've been thinking about doing myself. How long would it have taken to get this information in the past? Here I got it in a couple of clicks, although I'll admit that it was somewhat serendipitous.
There's a link to Google Reader at the left. You have to have a gmail account to set up the RSS feed.
I would probably organize these feeds into categories such as "Personal Interest," "Professional," and "Music."

Thing 2: Read Perspectives on Web 2.0 & Libraries 2.0

Library Media Specialists Need to Head to 2.0 Too
We can no longer expect our students to come to us on our time schedule and our terms. We are moving to a paradigm where we need to meet the students as they have an information need. We are information facilitators on the social web and if we don't become part of their solution, they will (quite easily) seek solutions outside of our sphere.
