http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6388635.html A reader writes in about a staff member blogging about the library: “She discusses work, of course, including other staff and problem patrons using some pretty stiff language, and I’m afraid she’s seriously going to offend someone and the library is either going to get pulled into a lawsuit or a union problem. The blogger writes at home on her own time, and the library doesn’t have a policy in place preventing staff from speaking publicly about the workplace, but I think this is a ticking bomb. What should I do?” The answer is rather good, and includes this: […]

http://ukwebfocus.wordpress.com/ Phil Bradley, Paul Miller and I chided Brian Kelly about the fact that he was the one who didn’t have a blog amongst the panelists during the Library 2.0 session at Internet Librarian International. It was all in good fun. Paul Miller emailed this am to let me know Brian had entered the Biblioblogosphere. Take a look. Welcome to the UK Web Focus Blog. As my tenth anniversary as UK Web Focus at UKOLN arrives, it is clearly time for me to set up a Blog to support my role as a Web adviser to the UK higher and […]

I met Troy Swanson at Internet Librarian and this week he sent me some links to their Blog Development Blog: I wanted to forwarded some info about our PodCasts and Web site that I hope you might find interesting. I have posted a couple of things to our “Blog Development Blog”.

From John at Pop Goes the Library, in his introductory post: http://www.popgoesthelibrary.com/2006/10/hi-everybody-shouted-like-dr-nick.html I currently work as the Young Adult Librarian and Systems Administrator for the Franklin Township Public Library in Somerset, NJ. (I’m also part of the reference staff and the webmaster) I’m pretty new to librarianship–I never worked at a library until I was in my Master’s program, and I just completed the program this last year–so I’m filled with ideas of things that libraries could and should be doing (i.e., better marketing). At some point in my recent past, I worked for science fiction publishers like Tor Books […]
Phil Bradley’s Library Weblog Feeds Originally uploaded by mstephens7. http://philbradley.typepad.com/phil_bradleys_weblog/2006/10/library_weblog_.html Phil writes: This is by way of an experiment really. I have created a publically available page at Pageflakes listing 30 or so Library/Librarian weblogs. All you need to do is vist the page, click on the little half diamond on the right of each title and see the recent postings, click and read. You don’t have to be a Pageflakes user either. This is a page that I’m going to keep, because it’s useful for me, so it will change over time – and this is an invitation that […]
In the October issue of CIL, Rachel helps librarians keep in the know: We can use blogs to market our institutions; we can also use them as an integral component in our personal professional development plans. Perhaps not surprisingly, many “techie” librarians tend to create blogs in their areas of expertise, and their blend of technological know-how and library-specific focus makes their blogs a great place to start a quest for technical knowledge. Due to the mechanics of publishing cycles, blogs also tend to report on technologies and their implementations in libraries before the traditional media. Select blogs based on […]
