LISNews: Librarian News

The week is now coming to a close and folks are returning from ALA Mid-Winter. -- Read More

I'm curious if there's any interest in a list of "other" blogs we should all be reading. Unlike the 10 Librarian Blogs, this new list would be 10 NON librarian blogs that should be read by librarians. I'm thinking of blogs that highlight things that are outside the LIS World, but are applicable to our what we do. Blogs that will help us do our jobs. Places we can go and read things outside our normal circles of knowledge.

This could be things like technology trends, marketing, human resources, intellectual property, publishing and search engines.

If you think such a list is worthy, let me know, or drop your list in the comments below. I'm not sure this will be worth pursuing. If there's enough interest I'll start working up a list.

Happy 2008! The new year is upon us, and it's time to think about what we should do @LISNews... What do you want to read about in 2008 on LISNews?

Do you want more audio/video features? Interviews with authors or librarians? Articles about UFOs? Learn how to repair a book? More top 10 lists?
Would you like to see fewer posts about public libraries? Learn more about cataloging? See more Harry Potter Stories? Maybe more about the web?

Or…something else?

What do you want to see or hear on LISNews this year? Let Me Know or leave a comment below.

Believe it or not, 2007 is coming to an end! I've just started putting together our list "must read" library blogs for 2008. Like our 10 Blogs To Read in 2006 & 2007, I want the list to reflect a wide a range of opinions.

What blogs do you read every day? What blogs help you learn? What blogs keep you informed? What blogs make you laugh? Who's the best writer out there? Think of it this way: "I read many others, but these are the LIS blogs that read even when time is short."

Your list need not be complete, fair, or even have more than one blog listed. I'm looking for input from everyone so the final list is full of new faces. My goal again this year, 10 blogs that paint picture of what's going on in our little world.

Send me your ideas, or leave a comment below.

Note: We all know LISNews is obviously the single most important web site in the entire history of the internet, so therefore I won't be including it on any final list.
Second Note: Anyone who made it to 10 Blogs To Read in 2006 & 2007 won't be included this year.
Third note: As John points out, I forgot to link to the past years lists: 10 Blogs To Read In 2007 and 10 Blogs To Read in 2006.
