Libraries and Weblogs – A Nice Writeup
March 28th, 2005From an article titled, Weblogs Connect People Through Journals About Everything from Book Clubs to Bands:
“A blog takes me only about a minute to update and I can do that either from home or on campus,” Bluefield State College librarian Robin Shapiro said. “I think blogs are today where the World Wide Web was when I first started using the Internet in 1995.”
Shapiro’s Hardway Library News blogs allow her to inform students, faculty and members of the international librarian community about everything from new books to book clubs and helpful links.
“Social bookmarking is a new thing that allows people to create links to other blogs from their site,” Shapiro said. “That trend is taking individual blogging and making it a part of a larger social network.” (via Topix)
