Posts Two new library resources:
1. Libworm: describes itself as:
“the librarian RSS engine
over 1000 RSS feeds go in
exactly what you need comes out!”
I still subscribe to feeds for individual blogs, rather than feeds for searches. I’ve noticed that some more techno-savvy bloggers are tending toward the latter. This may just be the tool that makes me switch – but I doubt it, I’m too attached to connecting with people’s voices and their individual lives
2. VLINT (Virtual.librariesinteract.info: blog central for Australian Libraries in Other Worlds)
Since Lorelei Junot very nicely offered me a building in Cybrary City for Australian Libraries to share, we’ve been pottering about the building. VLINT started as a place to record the nuts and bolts, daily operations of the project. This gives whoever takes on the project (soon I hope) a history to work with.
snail suggested that we could broaden it to include Australian Libraries in all “Other Worlds”. Great idea. I really hope someone interested in virtual library branches or gaming in libraries starts posting.

“I still subscribe to feeds for individual blogs, rather than feeds for searches. I’ve noticed that some more techno-savvy bloggers are tending toward the latter.”
I feel strongly that it isn’t an either-or proposition. I’m LibWorm’s co-creator, and I do both! I’ll never give up subscribing to those blogs and feeds I care about!
Hi David.
Congratulations on the site. I like the whole concept, and the clarity of the first page. It’s a great illustration of teamwork and a very useful tool.
True. You do get attached to individual blogs, but sometimes you need just a stream of facts. I might subscribe to just one, or two subjects…or a few more. This could be the start of something here…..
