Abstract

In 1993/94 the author undertook an international research project, resulting in a book 'School libraries and the electronic community: the Internet connection'. The project involved an international survey of users, an analysis of the traffic on an Internet listserv, mini case studies of school users, and exploration and assessment of resources on the Internet. Provides a literature review, and discusses the research, the methodologies used and the preliminary conclusions. Outlines issues related to the use of Internet resources and services in the school setting, and some barriers to Internet use in school libraries

Abstract

This book discusses the topic of 'weblogs and libraries' from two main perspectives: weblogs as sources of information for libraries and librarians; and weblogs as tools that libraries can use to promote their services and to provide a means of communication with their clients. It begins with an overview of the whole weblog and blogging phenomenon and traces its development over the last six years. The many different kinds of weblogs are outlined (including personal weblogs, community weblogs, multimedia weblogs). The problem of locating weblogs is addressed through a discussion of weblog directories, search engines and other finding tools. Chapters include using weblogs as sources of information in the library or information service, the options for creating a weblog, and managing the library's own weblog.
