Competency 4: RSS

Searching for an RSS feed was a challenge. This week we are discussing natural language vs controlled for information representation and retrieval. I experienced some difficulties with natural language as I tried to attempt using my own word choices in locating an RSS feed that would fall under the topic of Elementary Libraries or Accelerated Reader. I must have typed in over a dozen different ways of using those topic words in both Yahoo and Google. I finally found LIBWorm with the subject of Library Schools. It has several articles on School Libraries and even one titled "The Curse of Controlled Vocabulary." I am looking forward to seeing how this RSS feed will update itself throughout this semester.
