More on New Materials Blogs
April 6th, 2005Following up on my post on new library materials, ‘Saecker’ (oh how I wish these blogs had names on them) writes:
“There are now a bunch of us within the Winnefox Library System doing new material blogs. All of us are directors of small rural libraries who needed a way to replace our previous automation system’s automated new item lists with another way of doing things, at least until our library system figures out how to automate the process again. I thought that blogs were the perfect way for us to go. They are easily maintained and wait patiently for the next update, something that with our changeable schedules as directors we needed! If you click on each of our blogs, you will see that we each have a flavor all our own. That is another strength of blogging. It can be as involved or as simple as you want it to be. This is definitely a success story, but the minute it is automated again, you will see us using that format rather than hand doing the links! I guarantee it!”
I can’t wait to see these in action!
