Citizenry Involvement…Blog Style

Man meets blog software. Man starts a blog about his local government, wanting to get citizens involved. Newspaper writes story on man. Popularity of blog should increase.

Is your library blogging? Does anyone know about it? A common theme that came up at CIL during my talks was one of marketing. If your library has a blog, but nobody reads it…who cares?

Another theme in this article is getting citizens involved in posting to the weblog (although this is an error in the article – the blog owner is the only one who blogs, everyone else comments), which I think would be a neat idea. Give patrons access to a blog on the library site. It could be useful for a testimonials page.
