…a few of my favorite blogs…

Filed Under (Blogging) by mrsdowtyliblog on 05-08-2009

I’m writing this post to share some of my favorite library-related blogs.  I continue to stumble upon blogs with delightful writing and priceless nuggets of information on a regular basis.  For this reason, I’m certain this list represents a small portion of what’s “out there”.  All the same, I hope this whets your appetite and you are inspired to create a similar list of your own.

Techno Tuesday (Cathy Nelson’s Professional Thoughts…) – a blog about integrating technology into classrooms and libraries.  Cathy Nelson has been a school library media specialist for more than 20 years and is well respected in the blogging community.

Dorman High School Blog – Cathy Nelson’s high school library blog.  A wonderful example of a school library blog.

A Library By Any Other Name – a varied collection of timely resources by Vaughn Branom, a public school librarian and a self-described “digital immigrant”.  I especially like that each post is assigned its appropriate Dewey Decimal number.  Fun!

Hey Jude – Judy O’Connell is an educator and library professional interested in the latest technology and how it can be used to advance our students’ education.  Great perspective.

The Shifted Librarian – is written by Jenny Levine, the Internet Development Specialist and Strategy Guide at the American Library Association.  This blog focuses on the “shift” of libraries to meet a new generation’s information expectations.  This is heady stuff.

Likely Stories and Bookends (both are Booklist blogs) – great resources for information about books and publishing.

Please comment and let me know your favorites!

Keep reading and keep learning… …and keep sharing.
