Why Librarians Should Read Blogs
December 8th, 2005A student at Tufts writes in his blog about finding the online databases that the library subscribes to:
“Really, though there’s all kinds of cool stuff I can get at: the OED, the Oxford Reference Collection (encyclopedias, bilingual dictionaries, maps, quotations, etc.), Lexis-Nexis, the Grove Dictionary of Music, and seemingly hundreds of other sources. I guess I figured that we had a lot of neat stuff, but the breadth and value of the material here is truly staggering. A personal subscription to OED Online alone is $300 a year. Part of me wonders if it’s worth it for our library to pay for all this, but the other part is screaming at me to take advantage of it and do a research project in my spare time.”
That’s not the best part. Take a look at the comments….from Tufts librarians! Good on ya Anna Neatrour and Laura Walters. Librarians, read your blogs (our at least set up a bunch of blog searches).
