Student Blogs

January 21st, 2005

I came across the Simmons College Student Blogs last week while in Boston. They asked for volunteers from freshmen to blog their college experiences:

“These blogs are unedited, personal journals. From good times to bad, from blissful independence to homesickness, and from great story telling to spelling errors, Simmons wants you to read the real thing.”

I’d love to see library schools embrace blogs and ask for volunteers from their students to blog a semester (or even a full 2 year program). Reasons? 1) To show potential library school students what the programs are about. 2) To help recruit to the profession. 3) To get more librarians (and library schools) excited about blogging.

Could make for interesting reading.
