Half-Full?:
- I am shocked to report that I found a blog I’d actually read on a regular basis. The Shifted Librarian blog (http://theshiftedlibrarian.com/) contains information that is actually entertaining, educational, and current. I even smiled and laughed a couple of times while reading this blog. Some highlights include:
- A youtube clip from the Colbert Report on how librarians are communists. (No, really I can’t make this stuff up.) http://theshiftedlibrarian.com/tag/youtube/
- An entry about raising money for libraries by holding miniature golf-outings in the library stacks. (Break out the plaid pants!)
- A mini-movie clip on banned booked week and censorship. It’s bleeping awesome.
Half-Empty?:
- While I found one nugget of blogger goodness, there is still a lot of junk out floating around, including the library and information science blogs. Many of these blogs may have been informative and current at one point, but now are years old. For example, the blogs listed below sound interesting, but haven’t been updated in at least three years:
- Chi Lib Rocks! (A blog on the Chicago Library System): http://radio.weblogs.com/0111803/
- Leah’s Law Library Weblog: http://radio.weblogs.com/0109773/
- Others have been updated more recently, but are still a little slow at keeping current:
- The Rogue Librarian: http://www.roguelibrarian.com/
- The Laughing Librarian: http://www.laughinglibrarian.
Hmm…I am not sure what my final verdict on blogs will be. … But for some reason, I am craving a glass milk.
