Blogging in Libraries, hmmmm....

Well, for today's entry we are to discuss some ideas of how blogging can be used in Libraries, hmmmmmm....

  • One use could be to keep staff informed of: training opportunities, recent events, time saving ideas, customer service tips, etc.
  • Designated staff could write and post book reviews, as well as post staff's reading recommendations, or even their dvd picks.
  • Perhaps patrons could blog about books they really enjoyed, this could be monitored so that inappropriate posts could be removed.
  • Perhaps a blog could be used for a library book discussion group?
  • A YS librarian might use it to keep in touch with teens in their branch, and keep teens informed on upcomming YA programming as well as reader's advisory, and posting of newly received book titles, CD's, Graphic novels, or dvd's

I may think of more ideas as the day or week goes on, but that is a start.
