PR Hint of the Week - 12/19/03 - Blogs

Needing ideas to promote your library, market an idea, or start a new project? If you are not already doing so, you might want to start exploring librarian weblogs.
You will soon notice that each blogger in turn often offers their own list of favorite blogs. The content and writing style can be personal, trivial, trenchant, etc. I am not recommending any of these blogs. I merely cut and pasted these listings which vary widely in their taste, quality, currency,
and subject matter. I hope some of them spur your own creativity.
