Blogs as a Resource

There are thousands of libraries in the world. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel so to speak. Since libraries are known for collaboration what better thing to do than collaborate with others through the newest, free medium, a blog in order to improve instruction, access to materials and brainstorm ideas.

Reading the blogs of others in the field is a great way to see the who, what, when, where and why of the operations of libraries throughout the world. The uncovering of ideas may lead to a new way of business for my library which improves function for patrons.

Blogging is a great way to organize thoughts, keep a record, and maybe even get some feedback from others. Regardless, the self-reflection format of a blog creates a space to critically analyze how things work in my library.
