The second feed that I subscribed to is Library Technology Guides automation update. It is a feed that offers technology updates from libraries all over the world. I thought it would be interesting to learn about technology that I have not heard of before. The most recent post on the feed caught my eye because it was on the website SchoolRooms. SchoolRooms is a website that creates virtual classrooms for students where they can use a hands-on approach to learn about various topics. It also offers tips for teachers and students. SchoolRooms has just announced that it will partner with Academic Benchmarks to align their curriculum with state standards. This is very important for teachers because they can now better use SchoolRooms in the classroom because the activities coordinate to state standards.
Another feed that interested me was the increased use of the AquaBrowser library service amongst university libraries. I noticed that the new Sherloc system run by IMCPL utilizes AquaBrowser, so the feed helped me learn more about it. The article notes that AquaBrowser helps connect entire collections and data with a single interface that is visually appealing to the patron.
I appreciate that when I click on the feed, the feed goes to the corresponding article, and the article gives bibliographic information and other search options for further research. This helped me find a link to the AquaBrowser website.
