Getting Started with Blogs

Mary Jo, one of the members of our PhD cohort, asked me for some LIS news sites and blogs that she might look at to get started as an offshoot of my presentation in class this weekend. What I thought I would do is post it here…because it might be helpful to other folks as well.

First up: don’t miss LISNews as the perfect starter news clearinghouse.

Then, take a look at:

http://www.hi.is/~anne/weblogs.html (This one is rocking my world right now…)
