There is no lack of literature on the use of blogs for libraries and librarians. Prior to the use of Facebook and Twitter, librarians had long been creating blogs for their libraries.
Blog to inform! Blog to market! Blog to stay relevant! I think blogs can serve different purposes simultaneously.
We can get people feedback and ideas on improving library services via technology and the blog itself can be used to improve library services. It works both ways. But I think blogs is a good way to start before making any major technological advances and decision in libraries. It will be safer and wiser to get customer interaction and feedback and use that as a sort of guide before we go “techy”.
After all it is not about us it is about satisfying our patrons needs. And we find out there need through blogs and other online services.
