Library Blog Contest from Salem Press

Hey, LISNews has company…Salem Press (they publish literary and history reference libraries in a variety of formats) is looking for the coolest library/librarian blogs around. Here’s their contest announcement:

As you are probably aware, blogs about libraries have spread across the web. There are (literally) hundreds of people writing about books, libraries, librarians and related subjects. If you count the blogs that come from specific institutions, spreading local news, there are thousands of the things. Some are funny. Some are brilliant. Others, aren’t.

Salem Press’ staff includes many fans of library blogs. We’re entertained and enlightened by them. So, we’ve decided to recognize the best efforts in the field. Not only to praise the praise-worthy but also to publicize the good stuff. To that end, we’re hosting something we call the Library Blog Awards. We think there should be a well-organized directory of library blogs and a “peoples’ awards” program of some kind to let folks know what blogs are best-liked and most widely read.

Go for it bloggers!! Thanks to the Effing Librarian for the tip!
