I’ve been using Read It Later as a tool for some time to mark blog posts and articles that I want to come back to in order to read them properly, rather than just scanning. In the past few weeks I have become woefully behind (my list extends to 7 pages!) and so I’m spending some time this evening catching up.
Quite a few blogs I read have weekly reading round-ups where the authors share a selection of the stuff they have been reading. I kind of like this method as a way of mopping up things I might have missed on Twitter or RSS. So here’s a little list for you of the things I’ve been reading over the past few weeks (and catching up on this evening):
Higher Education
Deloitte – Making the Grade 2011: a study of the top 10 issues facing higher education
Martin Paul Eve – Guarding your academic ideas
Information managment
Brian Croxall (ProfHacker) - Zotero vs. EndNote
The Internet and social media
Amit Agarwal (Digital Inspiration) – How people share content online and with whom
Brian Herzog (Swiss Army Librarian) – Being personal and professional on Twitter
Sarah Kessler (Mashable) – How to: Talk to children about online safety
Libraries/Librarians
Seth Godin - The future of the library
Bohyun Kim (Library Hat) - Tech skills for new librarians & me
Productivity
Courtney (BoostBlog) – Trialling an Agile to-do list
