Aw, man!

Not twelve hours after posting about the article I'm writing for WebJunction, Michael has to come along and burst my bubble:

Blogging: Digital Davids In An Internet Goliath

Unfortunately for me, this article is well-written with the added bonus of quotations from LIS bloggery's own Shifted Librarian:

"There are two sides to blogging, both of which can help librarians," Levine said. "The first reason is that it helps with information overload and staying current. Fellow librarian (and non-librarian) bloggers can help filter the overwhelming mass of data blindsiding us day in and day out. The second reason is that blogging can help librarians disseminate their own ideas, thoughts, and information, at a personal level and at the institutional level."

Damn! Well said.

The good news is that the scope of the article is broad, focusing on the blogging phenomenon, whereas I hope to maintain Jenny's focus on blogs as a tool for libraries/librarians.

Comments?
