Step 4 MLA CE WEEK 1

When I first started this course I new very little about blogs and RSS feeds. The tutorial have been very helpful as well as the exercises. I have learned that librarians are using blogs to deliver information services to their users as well as to collaborate and communicate with other library professionals. They could use a blog to publish news about their library or information on a specialized subject such as Osteopathic Medicine.
