GSU Library Leading the Way with Blogging
If you are a librarian and interested in using blogs, you can find excellent examples and resources at Georgia State University. Teri Vogel and Doug Goans have created library news and several subject specific blogs. These are available for viewing with your web browser or news reader via RSS/XML.
Not
only do they have these excellent blogs, but they have published
articles that explain the process of setting up library news with
blogs. In addition, they have terrific resources and links for those of
you who want
specific “how-to’s”. Follow these links for further learning:
Building a Home for Library News with a Blog
Delivering the News with Blogs: The Georgia State University Library Experience (a preprint)
Style Manual for Organizational Blogging
Untangling Blogs & RSS (Georgia SLA presentation)
Webfeed, Blogs & More (Teri’s blog)
While these are written with libraries in mind, the concept can be
applied in many educational areas. I’m proud of Teri and Doug for
leading the way, or perhaps I should say “blogging” the way!
