Curriculum Materials Center Interest Group: ALAO: November 2005

Article in Library Journal

There is an article in October's library journal titled: "Talkin Blogs: Library bloggers discuss the impact of their work." It highlights a round table discussion concerning the professional impact of blogs; the ethics of blogging; blogs and print journalism; and what makes a blog good. I find it interesting that much of the conversation touches on various aspects discussed by our panel at the ALAO conference.

Coference Congrats!

Congratulations, thanks, and a job well done to Jen, Jp, Debi, and Mary for their panel presentation last Friday (November 4th) at the ALAO conference in Columbus. The session was well attended, especially for an interest group sponsored event, showing an interest in the topic at hand: blogs!

Many thanks for your hard work.
