Here’s my quick and dirty list of the library blogs I read on a regular basis. I just added Peter Murray’s Disruptive Library Technology Jester, which has to be my all-time favorite blog title, though his tagline is bit odd–Peter’s a librarian, not a library, eh wot? Bookmark to:
This entry logs some of the other articles and works I’ve written (most of them don’t show up in Google Scholar, for what that’s worth). Internet Librarian (column for American Libraries, 1995-2002): This is a partial archive. I’ll work on the gaps with My Friend Google. 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Other […]

Delete your old feed for FRL and replace it with this one: https://freerangelibrarian.com/index.rdf Comment registration: If you are a Typekey user (Typeky is a free service, by the […]
If you are a registered Typekey user (Typekey is a free service, by the way), you can comment on any FRL entry automatically. If you are not a Typekey user, your comments will be held for moderation.
