In the last three weeks, I’ve presented a special version of the Hyperlinked Library to groups of administrators and board members/trustees around northern Illinois. One question came up a few times:
Are there any library board members or trustees blogging?
Please comment if you know of one – AND maybe it’s time for someone in those groups to start! I know there are some rules/laws about what board members can say, etc.. but some tpe of bloging would be okay, wouldn’t it?
My library board president came to me and asked about a week ago if it was ok if she had am opportunity to blog on our site. I considered for about 5 seconds and said sure. Now I am waiting on her first blog. I already have the blog up RSS and everything waiting to go. Now I am crossing my fingers hoping she will come through! I am hoping this will lead the other board members to blogging.

Will Manley was recently selected for his library’s Board of Trustees. He mentions that he will definitely blog about the experience and perhaps even start a second blog solely for/about library trustees.
