I am really enjoying this. New ideas, importantly, sharing among ourselves is so nice. A several times students have asked me what ASME journals are available. I email them with a link http://englibrary.blogspot.com/2006/03/new-asme-journals-activated.html and a brief information. They can access those titles from this link. The information tip included also shows how to access ASME titles from the library's main database page. Many new engineering students ask about where to start with their research. I point to our new page 'Fundamentals of Engineering Research' at http://englibrary.blogspot.com/2006/03/fundamentals-of-engineering-research.html More about this during my presentation. I will introduce some new blog sites from our library as well. Jay Hi,

Great ideas. Most of my blogs have been from Blogger and I could never get the built-in search function to work. Any suggestions? I'll check out your blog and get back to you. Thanks Jay!

I would also like to add that a searchable blog can retrieve previous entries as well. This immensely helps when a student asks a question and you know that an entry related to that question was posted on the blog. One of the ways I am promoting my blog is by incorporating it in my library instruction class. I invite students to subscribe to the RSS feeds of my blog. All the resources we post on a blog are archived and can be easily accessed whenever needed. Most importantly, I learnt about new RSS feeds from electronic databases and electronic journals- just because I wanted to announce them myself on my blog and teach my students about them in the process. Jay Susan,
