iLibrarian Blog

Hi,
I have just been searching for library related issues on Technorati, an online site for searching and ranking blogs.Here is my annotated bibliography on the Ilibrarian blog.

Kronski, E (2010), Ilibrarian Blog, Online Education Database, USA, viewed 15 March 2010, http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/

This blog is owned by Ellyssa Kronski, an Information Services Technologist at Barnard College as well as a teacher of emerging technologies at two other Universities. Ellyssa is also the author of Web 2.0 for "Libraries and Information Professionals" and writes a column for the Library Journal's Acedemic Newswire. This gives the blog a very authoritive source as well as the fact that it has been going since 2007. In 2008 it was listed in The LISNews 10 Blogs To Read.
It seems to be well written and researched.

The blog is very active and has a quite a number of regular posts. The blog is orientated towards the more technical aspects of library web 2.0 applications. Ellyssa includes alot of bright and interesting images, charts, links and slide shows. The blog contains numerous topics that are directly related to my library course. e.g Information literacy, mashups, micro blogging, RSS feeds, social networking, tagging, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 isssues. She gives alot of links to other related sites and blogs.
