2006-2007 ALA Prez: Savvy library-booster–with a blog

David Rothman writes “Leslie Burger, director of a New Jersey library with a spiffy, community-oriented Web site, is the 2006-2007 president of ALA as reported earlier. Her election could be good news for the library world. At least from afar, this new blogger seems well equipped to reduce the PR damage from blog-hating Michael Gorman, an anti-ebook Lud. I won’t confuse a library director with a Webmaster, but positively or negatively, library Web sites often reflect the organizations behind them. More at TeleRead.”

    Comments?
    When I went over to check out Ms. Burger’s blog, I was a bit discouraged that not a single comment had been added to any of her posts. Perhaps this is just lack of exposure, but I think we need to support the efforts of the new Prez-Elect towards being open-minded, transparent and forward-thinking. Not that the mere existence of a weblog indicates the manifestation of any of these traits, but regular interaction with the LIS blogosphere will certainly stimulate thinking in that direction. Or am I wrong?
