BloggerCon Librarianesque Session Blurb
This session description is similar to one that was posted on the BloggerCon blog on Wednesday.
How can librarians, archivists, and similar information professionals use blogs in the course of their work? Blogging is still new enough in this sphere that many information professionals don’t know about weblogs, nor do managers, clients, and library users. How can librarians evaluate whether using this technology in their setting is appropriate, sell it to managers as a worthwhile activity, and market it to customers? What can a blog add to a library’s Web presence? What can these information professionals do with a blog?
The issues librarians and similar information professionals face are not unique or only of interest to them. What can librarians learn from the blogosphere? What would blog readers want from their local library blog? What ideas or advice can bloggers outside of librarianship offer?
More
details, comments, and a list of potential topics are in the discussion group of the BloggerCon blog.
