RSS Readers and Tumblr

The Feedbin (Web) is a promising RSS Reader and the organization of the layout seems easy to use and is user-friendly. Feedbin has a great searching ability and tagging system that puts your searches into their own categories. The price of $3.00 a month is reasonable and with the districts budget it can be easily to pay for and manage.

Under my Tumblr:

I'm following:
The School Library Journal http://schoollibraryjournal.tumblr.com/
The school library journal is a popular resource to have as a librarian in that I can see new works of literacy and the reviews, ideas for librarians, and any reports on new books.

Into the Stacks https://intothestacks.tumblr.com/
I like this resource because this tumblr contains blogs about libraries, librarianship, and anything having to do with libraries. I could use some of these ideas to help foster my own library with new resources and such.

Elementary School Library Ideas and More https://childlitfan.tumblr.com/
This is one I think is important since my main area of concentration is elementary school librarianship and I would take the ideas to keep up-to-date on the digital front. I want to advertise my library in any digital format.

School Library Programming https://schoollibraryprogramming.tumblr.com/
Since my alma mater is Sam Houston I figured I should follow the tumbler page to get any programming ideas or stay up-to-date with the new technology/databases out there to better myself in my job. Also, this page gives me a great idea to try "Tunnel Book" project.

School Libraries 101 http://hweimar.tumblr.com/
I enjoyed browsing the tumbler page and seeing some of the young adult books that I haven't read yet and the topics of Intellectual Honesty which would be on my mind as a librarian. Intellectual Honesty is something that I believe is important to teach and enforce when my students complete assignments. This tumbler page definitely offers some thoughtful insights and debates on librarianship and our job details.
