Blogging about School Library Blogging

I really like the blog Advocate4Libraries@blogspot.com. Any site that starts with the following quote will pull me in: "The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the smarter you grow. The smarter you grow, the stronger your voice, when speaking your mind or making your choice." Right now, of course, the hot topic is the ALA. But there's tons of good info on this blog. Of particular interest to me was the link to "newtoolsforlibrarianship," a pbwiki that I want to spend more time exploring. Also, our book pointed out a few library blogs that I also checked out. It was cool to see how a public lilbrary uses blogs--check out my hometown's libary blogs at http://marincountyfreelibrary.blogspot.com/.

Thanks for your post. It is always great to hear about new websites! I think the blog website you wanted to write was http://advocate4libraries.blogspot.com/ just an fyi. I remember spending a lot of time on advocacy from the Foundations class so this would be a good resource to have as a librarian if you are stuck for ideas. It also looked like it kept you up to date on things happening out there.

WOW, I learn new uses for a Blog everyday. I would have never have thought of using a blog for a public library, but the one you suggested is GREAT. It's just as helpful, if not more, than a website.

Thanks and keep sharing!!!
