best blogs

[GailAW]

Can anyone recommend the best blogs to read on librarianship generally and Library 2.0 and new technologies in libraryland specifically? I am relatively new to all this and would like guidance on the best places to begin reading what is out there?

Thanks, Daniel. This should get me started!

Hey-

Below are my usual suspects in the morning. I tend to find that the sporadic ones (i.e. blyberg) are typically more in depth and engaging. However, others that simply link to other places (TTW) can come up with some amazing stuff. The last link is my own blog (shameless, I know) but I haven't posted in a bit - I'm gearing up for some though. I hope more people add to this list.

Kyle's list is great, most of them are also ones that I read regularly. I'd suggest a couple more that you might want to consider:

http://infodoodads.com/ for good reviews by librarians of new 2.0 stuff
http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/ Librarian in Black, one of the best reads for a long time now
http://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/ it's great to see good content coming from ALA
http://www.librarywebchic.net/wordpress good practical advice as well as thoughtful commentary
