Library blogs

Thing #10 is locate a few useful library blogs and/or news feeds.

There sure are a lot library stuff out there. I had no idea. I started with what seemed to be the logical starting, www.ala.org. They have a handy section of a whole bunch of links to blogs and news feeds. Of those that could be useful to me in my everyday work as a librarian include:

http://rusa.ala.org/blog/,
http://blogs.ala.org/libraryeducation.php?tempskin=_rss2
http://blog.booklistonline.com/feed/

I was disappointed that LIRT (Library Instruction Round Table) did not have a blog but we do have a list serv. Please don't suggest I start a LIRT blog; I have too much to do without spending more time writing on line!

http://ohiolibrarycollaboration.blogspot.com/ has interesting stuff, especially on the political (that means library funding) side of life.

And of course....http://www.librarybytes.com/ . Maybe we can call this one the "cradle of Learn and Play blogs" since it is sort of where it all started for us.
