Two Great Models for Library Blogs

LIS Blogsource continues to catch great links to library blogs. From today's batch:

Sellers Library Teens - " 'As a summer experiment, we have decided to try a group blog by the teens and librarians at Upper Darby Sellers Library. You can blog about anything related to our library: events you attend, great ideas for future events, materials we have, materials you think we should have, or whatever. You can even comment on the posts of others. (Please, no rude comments or inappropriate posts, or they will be removed.) Get your voice heard at the library!' (ATOM feed)"

* This may be the first library blog I've seen that is publicly accessible and has opened comments to the...ahem...public!

"And it seems that the Ohio University Libraries are sold on the blog concept, currently offering four different options:

Reference Blog (ATOM feed)
Business Blog (ATOM feed)
News (ATOM feed)
Systems Status (ATOM feed)"

* That last one is a perfect use of a blog, one that I've argued for at SLS.
