Tasmania's State Library has a RSS feed with each individual search. My search for "camellias" resulted in 62 records. Refining the search by topic: camellias resulted in 23 useful records. The RSS symbol appears at the top of the screen next to the search results. An option is available to subscribe to this feed. Accessed 27 May 2014

This is my practise blog where I try out posting and editing techniques.

What's New
RSS Discovery Exercise
What do I like about the idea of RSS?
I like receiving up-to-date selected content without the advertisements. Also having selected content coming to me instead of me chasing it.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your personal life?
RSS feeds from professional groups would keep me aware of events and trends within my profession. I can view hobby sites when there's new information.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this technology?
RSS can inform libraries of new online courses offered by educational organisations. IT support can be informed of updated software and hardware. Referencing according to the Online Reference Generator

Slideshare
My experience of uploading the "Big 6" powerpoint presentation was smooth enough but I forgot to view it before sending it out into the world. Oops. I forgot to set the attribution details. Downloading was harder. At first I couldn't find my powerpoint among 33,000+ other slideshares. Even after filtering there were too many to find mine. Finally I tried searching Users by my Flickr username and there it was. So here is my presentation.
The information in this powerpoint slide show was contained in webcast "Information Literacy" by Dr Mike Eisenberg". http://uweoconnect.extn.washington.edu/publicmbeinfolit
One slideshow I liked was the following. There are many design ideas which we can use in our blogs. I hope you can find something useful here. Some are cartoon images, some text displays, one looked like a photo album, another had beautiful colours. Josie

How to Create Original Blog Post Images to Stand Out and Drive Traffic from Ana Hoffman
Another slideshow reminded me to keep slide information simple and visually attractive. This is because we loose interest when there is too much text on the page/screen. Sometimes a visual can communicate better than text. Josie

Discovery Exercise - Information Literacy
I really liked the music on this video. It supported the visual and was non-intrusive. The content was very good and helped to explain the steps of a research project. I learned to stick to the research question during every step of DISCOVERY and not go off in another direction.
Two main points I liked were: 1. the need to be flexible. If an online search doesn't provide the needed information then keep trying. Either broaden or narrow the search. 2. Verify the information through other sources and check the authority of the sourcs.
Sometimes I do get lost in data smog so it was good to find a clear path through it. Information literacy here I come. Josie.

Pink
I finally made a new Flickr account after lots of nothing happeing. Creative Commons is ok but blogging takes a bit longer when we give the respectful acknowledgement.

Career Philosophy
I found that I share a similar philosophy to Gretchen's. A successful life is as much about the process as the journey. To often we are caught up by other people's agendas and loose momentum for our own lives. However I think we must be wary of overstretching ourselves since we have a limited amount of energy. Our priorites are important. Josie

Two men on a platform painting the hull of the ship HIMALAYA
This photograph was taken by David Moore. This is a silver gelatin print on semi-gloss fibre paper. Of this image, David Moore said 'Standing on the dock below HIMALAYA, I saw these Lascar seamen repainting the hull from a fragile plank support. With acrobatic balance and dexterity the painter placed the long-handled brush in the dangling paint can. Light is the photographer's closest ally and pictures can be created between the play of light and shadow. These strong diagonals make interesting shapes and the rivets appear as a pattern of stitches on a quilt of steel'. (page 36 Moore, D. 'Fifty Photographs', published by Chapter and Verse 2000). David Moore (1927-2003) was one of Australia's most respected photojournalists.

First post of the year
Hi everyone, I managed to get my new blog working today, Saturday. I previously had a blogger account so I know a little about this. There have been some setting changes and I'm not familiar with them. There is plenty for me to learn in this exercise. Bye for now, Josie.
