- And then we have blogs. At their best, blog posts may be the new interview, the new source of primary sources. In addition to having students subscribe to RSS feeds--that's a bit of a commitment--we can help them search blogspace for blog posts or to discover those bloggers who share their interests, those who blog about the subjects they study.

Schools Lower the Boom on Blogs - 12/1/2005 - School Library Journal
"Indeed, even those schools that have embraced blogging by teachers are cautious about student blogs. Mabry Middle School in Marietta, GA, actually requires its teachers to maintain blogs on classroom activities. However, the school is now considering allowing students to create blogs of their schoolwork, as well as their own wiki encyclopedia."

Another Reason for Libraries to Make their Sites Social
I’m finding that I’m far more likely to bookmark something if there’s a direct link to post it to Delicious, and that workflow will continue for me until there’s a Pre app that makes this easier, which means I really appreciate sites that offer this. Even better is if you can add it so that it appears in your RSS feed so that it shows up in places like Google Reader and Bloglines, too.
Here are some options to consider for adding this functionality to your site.-
- For WordPress blogs, you can use the Sociable plugin (I’m sure there are others, but this is what I use so I know it works). I have another blog post brewing on this topic, but this is yet another reason I encourage libraries to make their “what’s new” page a blog – you can then use the wealth of plugins out there to improve the user’s experience.

SL2.0: Synthesis 2.0 - Infomancy
"My perspective comes from being a classroom teacher, an instructional technology teacher, a technology coordinator, and now a school library system coordinator. Some might say this means I am not a “real librarian” which is okay with both of us (I went and created a much cooler sounding profession - infomancer!) though I will say again that I am proud to be a part of the library profession. "

I have continued to push for changes and improvements for our profession.

The Digitally Re-Shifted School Library: A Conversation with Christopher Harris | ALA TechSource
"Chris, what would you say to the librarian that whispers: “We are so far behind, what can we do?" in respect to schools that don't allow iPods and outlaw blogs.
CH: In some recent workshops I have held about blogging, I have encountered this same type of question. One of the things I repeatedly address is the need for school libraries to adapt practices in order to meet new, outside pressures. We know that the big thing facing schools right now is the whole issue of standardized testing and accountability under No Child Left Behind (NCLB). So, one of the things we worked on was the creation of a testing-information blog, which is being used to disseminate information about testing, through librarians (as information experts), to our member school districts.
We also need to ask ourselves: How can libraries work to be a foundation—as demonstrated in the librarians' standardized-testing info. blog above—to support blogging and podcasting within the overall school environment? "-
