[Publib] Bloggy-come-lately.

[David Wright]

     So the Seattle Public Library finally has a
blog. Go figure. It is called Shelf Talk, and can
be found at http://shelftalk.spl.org.  

     It has been (and continues to be)
interesting starting up a library blog well past
the time when every library on earth felt they’d
better have one, as one looks about at the
dessicated corpses of discarded library blogs
dotting the landscape and justly wonders ‘what
exactly do we want a blog for, anyway?’ 

     It is still very much early days, but what
excites me most about where we’re headed with our
blog is our efforts to reach out to all the
interesting, informed people we have working at
the library who will be posting in this
collective. Of course, as you all know, it is
usage statistics that will help buy us the time
to give this thing a decent period to grow and
develop. 

So, um, add us to your blogrolls if you link to
other library blogs. Subscribe to our feed. Let's
see how this goes. 

Thanks,

David Wright
