Using Weblogs to Market Librarians

One of my new mantras is the use of weblogs to market oneself to employers and other job related activities (writing projects, speaking engagements, etc).

For those that think that consistently publishing to the Web via a weblog will not bring about other opportunities should take a look at this article:

"The publication that got Elizabeth Spiers her job at New York magazine never saw print. Her witty synthesis of media news and celebrity gossip was showcased on a frequently updated Web log (or "blog") called Gawker.com, which made its debut late last year and soon became a daily stop for more than 40,000 Web surfers, including much of Manhattan's media elite."
