Weblogs and RSS in Information Work
April 26th, 2004Gary Price linked to this article on how weblogs can be used in libraries. While the issue has been brought up before (and there is not anything mindblowing about the content here, although it is a well-written overview), I always feel the necessity to share these pieces as they display the continuous push toward libraries using weblogs in their buildings. I believe that we are close to a tipping point, in that soon there will be more libraries that have use weblog technology than those that do not. I’m going to give it another year or two and see if the library society as a whole changes due to content being displayed in weblog format. The numbers have increased exponentially over the past year (of course, nothing empirical to back it up) and I can guess that they will triple that over the next year. By that time, I surmise that the bigger library systems will grab hold of weblogs. We’ll see.
