Library Blogging Breakdown

April 13th, 2005

Ananda has done some calculations of libraries that have weblogs. While her list isn’t exhaustive, it’s the most comprehensive that I have seen. She writes:

“There are currently 245 libraries blogging. Of these 245,

* 107 are academic libraries
* 86 are public libraries (at least 15 of which have multiple blogs)
* 12 are school libraries
* 12 are assorted special libraries
* 11 are library associations (state/national/provincial, etc.)
* 8 are library consortia
* 6 are government libraries
* 3 are corporate libraries”

She thinks that her numbers are low, so if your library is blogging, and it’s not included in her list, let her know and she’ll add it.
