Blogs, short for web logs, are web sites where the newest content is at the top. Take a look at our What's New blog, noting the format and content of the posts and the items in the sidebar. There are several other blogs created by Washington University Libraries staff.
People working in libraries around the world start blogs to discuss what's going on at their libraries and in the profession. The LibrarianinBlack writes short posts several times a day, usually about technologies in libraries. LISNews also has many posts a day, written by multiple people--it attempts to collect all the news stories about libraries. The ACRLog usually only has a few posts a week that discuss issues in academic libraries. The Feel Good Librarian writes anonymously a couple of times a month about things that happen in her public library.
