Small Library Blogs

A few weels ago, I posted a question to the COLLIB electronic listserv looking for other small-library bloggers. Most of the responses pointed me towards the library's blog rather than a librarian's blog. I had been looking for librarians' blogs because I want to know the thought processes and behind-the-scenes stuff, but there are some great program ideas from other schools. I think my favorite so far is the primary party, complete with red and blue food. I'm nont sure if that would be as successful at our school as it appears to be at Rollins College, and I think the PA primaries are during our finals week when the students probably have better things to worry about. Anyway, I digress. Here are the responses I got:

• KML News Blast from Dakota State - 1,500 students
• Arch from Bluffton University - 1,200 students, relatively new
• Preston Library's Blog - 1,300 students, in very early stages (I don't think they have gone public yet)
• McPherson College Miller Library - 1,000 students
• http://Technology from Keene State College - 5,000 students
• McGrath Library from Hilbert College - 1,100 students
• News from the Mudd from Lawrence University - 1,400 students
• The DNL Report and Your Voice Counts 2007 from Fairfield University - 4065 students
• Northland College Library Blog - 3,000 students
• University of St. Thomas's library has two Facebook blogs which appear under Announcements on this page, one on library news, the other on Catholic fiction. They have an FTE of 2,100.
• Here is a page that links to several library blogs in Vermont.

Librarian Blogs:

• Pegasus Librarian - from Carleton (4500 FTE)
• Director's Blog - from Rollins College

Now that I have all of these assembled in one place, I'll start digging through them... though I've been spending way too much time browsing blogs and not enough time getting real work done lately!
