Karen posted this yesterday — probably about the same time I was looking at it and pondering a blog post! Well done Karen! http://freerangelibrarian.com/archives/120904/ethics_at_last.php Follow the links in her post to the other links. I’m tickled to see a PhD candidate looking at Blog ethics. I am just forming my thoughts about LIS Weblogs, librarians and information for research and possibly my dissertation at UNT. Just scratching the surface with a literature review, Dr. Laurel Clyde’s book Libraries and Weblogs, and a first stab at a research proposal whets my appetite for more! David Weinberger, in the C-SPAN video, I […]

Dateline December 9, 2004: New York Times story Libraries Reach Out, Online By TIM GNATEK mentions my very own SJCPL! This, my friends, is one more example that LIS Weblogs have arrived and are being noticed. “Posting electronic versions of libraries’ holdings is only part of the library’s expanding online presence. Library Web sites are becoming information portals. Many, like the Saint Joseph’s County Library in South Bend, Ind., have created Web logs as community outreach tools.

Wow! I wish I could be there!!! http://www.librarystuff.net/2004/12/blogging-at-ala-midwinter-be-part-of.html I am tickled that a major library organization is starting a Blog!
http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/11/30/words.of.the.year.reut/index.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4059291.stm (BBC LinkVia and IM from skagirlie across 25 feet in our office…) Most cool. Blog is the most searched word on the Interent for 2004. Blogs have arrived! Is your library blogging? Is your library organization blogging? You should be!
Much discussion today at SJCPL about blogs… I took a look back at this: http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=767 because Greg had such cool things to say in his talk.. If you haven’t read this one in awhile — or you never have — take a look! (And it’s at WebJunction!)

Weblogs offer a wide diversity of topics…. Tools to make blog searching easier: * Use FEEDSTER * Also try Waypath * No two blog search engines are the same. * Daypop, Popdex, Technorati look at what’s hot in the blogosphere * For finding specfic blogs: Blogorama, Feedfinder at feedster Greg — First time I’ve heard you speak — well done!
* Blogging humanizes a Web site, that’s missing in a lot of library blogs * Link virtual reference services in your blogs (Does SJCPL do this?) (YES we do!) * Treat community bloggers like memebers of the press. * Blog your statitics * Try a photoblog to let people see how cool things are at the library * Blog sites related to news stories and tell the newspaper * If you don’t have a blog, get one! It’s an information channel.
Echoing Brian Kelly, Steven just asked everyone to open up their laptops and blog the presentations in the Blogging track.
