Barking up some Catalougs

So here I am again all you loyal viewer(s)

So recently I have been patroling about for ideas on blog and libraries. Looking into how they are used well, and how they are poorly used. Getting ideas.

The library Weblog's Index was really useful for that: http://www.libdex.com/weblogs.html


a lot of them had only sporadic updates, and what there was in updates that broke the sometimes five month silence there was a lot of inane chatter that really didnt fir the liray or if it did it was obfuscated in its verbiage and confusing. People when they read blogs are lookign for pithy statements and helpful commentary.

Further they want things that fit the library but also expand upon it.

Hence my love for this blog

The University of Baltimore Law Library is a fantastic blog, its elegant in its layout. It has good choices on its style and choice.s It offers a host of RSS feeds on a number of topics. It also fulfills the needs of announcing important library events and services. But ti goes further offering wonderful tips to law students and helpful links creating a community oriented blog that is set up to not only be a library but also an information commons on helpful data and interesting concepts. How very Web 2.0. Its update schedule is also excellent and overall i found this a very good blog. This is a helpful resource and shows it is not redundant like other blogs but truly a helpful item to maintain and preserve.
