Week 2-Blogging

I did read the articles and other information in this unit.

Blogs are useful for making librarians and libraries appear more "human" to the public. I know it is the way of the future because my son, refuses to use e-mail. He must have other ways of communicating that I am just not aware of.

Blogs would be great for book discussion groups and perhaps for specialty groups that might use a library--e.g. the miniature train people, a chess club, a YA gaming group, etc.

Some blogs are entirely too personal for me. I really don't want to spend much time reading the mundane opinions of too many folks. But I can see how you could get hooked on a professionally done blog like the one done by the lady who wanted to cook all of Julia Child's recipes in the movie "Julie and Julia".
