More and more information from OWLS is being published in blogs, so there are more and more places to keep track of in order to stay informed. Learn how to make your life easier by using Google Reader to aggregate the content from our blogs and others. This session will teach you about RSS feeds and Google Reader basics. We'll take some time to set up your account, subscribe to OWLS feeds, and explore the web for fun feeds beyond OWLS and OWLSnet resources.
