It's frustrating when you're trying to follow the directions and half of the things you're supposed to be doing for the first time don't work as advertised. I never could get the RSS feed link to appear in Cengage Learning. From reading the comments in the 23 Things blog, it looks like I'm not the only one. However, it did work for some people, so I can't say for sure which bugs me more. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong that it doesn't work...
The EBSCO Page Composer went pretty well, but why do I need to do it? I guess I didn't get the drift of this one. ProQuest is cool...I've used this one a few times already. The e-mail feature is cool -- you can e-mail your sources to a colleague or patron and save trees.
I couldn't find the correct book "101 Ways to Promote Your Website" in NetLibrary. So I chose another one of the titles that the search returned. The Notes feature is kinda cool. Again, you have the "stuff" you did in a previous search or dig at your fingertips.
These tools could be very helpful for a research librarian, especially if people ask the same questions over and over again.
