Marylaine Block has written a relatively high profile piece on library weblogs in which our own Blake Carver is quoted:
For many of the self-publishers, it\’s a chance to render a service, to fill a hole in the web of information. Jenny Levine was one of the first to do this, back in 1995, with her late lamented Librarians\’ Site du Jour. \”I began it to bring home to the librarians in my system the power of this new tool,\” she says. \”The two biggest complaints I heard about the net were that people didn\’t have time for this new stuff, and, even if they did, they didn\’t know what to do once they got online. So my goal was twofold: 1) to highlight valuable resources, and 2) to give librarians a reason to go on the web every day . . . \”
