Target: School Library Blogs or Weblogs

[Deborah Stafford <Deborah_Stafford@COMPUSERVE.COM>]

This year (partly as a cost cutting measure) our district will be doing
additional professional development days before school begins. Many of th=
e
secondary librarians are meeting for two days to focus on several topics.=

For one session I want to cover some new developments. One that I want to=

display are blogs or weblogs. I will definately show them The Resourceshe=
lf

http://www.resourceshelf.com/ and I have lists of numerous others plus
BLOGGER @ http://www.blogger.com/  for making weblogs. I have seen MANY
blogs with a library orientation.

I am thinking that a blog focused on our school, one where the librarian
could post from the happenings in the library during the week.  IT might =
be
a good way to highlight the links we find for a specific project, then po=
st
quickly for students and teachers who need to get back to it. It would al=
so
help parents and those students who were absent. The audience would be
primarily the school. Many of the blogs that I have seen are focused on a=

wider audience.

Is anyone doing this kind of blog, one focused directly on a specific
school and/or the school library?  If so, would you mind sharing your blo=
g
at least temporarily so I can show my collegues what I mean.
