Checking out other library blogs

I've been spending a little time looking at some other library blogs this afternoon.

I've just become the IP and Copyright Lead for my Trust so I thought I'd better check out a copyright-related blog for some quick tips. I like
www.copyrites.wordpress.com/ it's very accessable and makes copyright sound almost easy.

I found a few others as well and I've added a gadget to my blog so I can display my blog roll (had to type that carefully, didn't want to be displaying my bog roll!). That was really easy to do so I think I'll be adding some more gadgets later in the week.

I searched for the blogs simply by typing "library blogs uk" in to Google. That brought up some good results. Then I used Google blog search, which was alright, but I got the same results just doing a normal Google search.

Think I've spent a little bit too long on this today. Off to do some "proper" work.

  1. Hi there. Can totally relate - am waiting for IT to freak out about me blogging and not "working".

  2. Hi Lifu, if it helps I can send you some arguments to use with your IT people. I did some research before the course as we anticipated some people would run in to some obstacles.They are just some general points about why web 2.0 is particularly useful in the teaching and learning/library sectors.
    I am one of the administrators for the course so you can get my email address from the site.
