Information Research Weblog

Finally, for today, an item drawn to my attention by The Shifted Librarian Weblog, which appears in Points of Reference from the Illinois Suburban Library System.

It's a brief article called, Blogging @ Your Library by Kate Zdenek who says,

So why are blogs important to libraries? In one word—communication. You can reach your patrons or staff in a whole new way. Information can be posted instantly. You can highlight an event in your community, review a book, or announce new materials. A blog gives people a reason to continually return to your site.

Definitely worth skimming.
