Professional Book of the Week

Title: Blogging and RSS: A Librarian’s Guide
Author: Michael P. Sauers

Summary:
Sauers presents blogs and RSS feeds in an easy-to-digest manner. A multitude of examples demonstrate the marketing and current awareness power of these services for libraries and librarians. Technical explanations of how the services work, as well as how to use them, are included. This is an excellent resource for those interested in learning more about these, but are unable to attend the upcoming class taught by Louise Alcorn on October 19th (or the pre-conference she is presenting at ILA on October 10th).
