Hello Amanda

I’ve always found your list to be useful and have been glad to have such a resource! Congratulations on the wiki which I agree, may be more easy to keep up to date!

As proof of that, I’ve been meaning to email you about our library’s blog for some time now but never got around to it – I’ve added it to the wiki – did it straughtaway without having to hassle you

Thanks again for the great resource and I look forward to watching the wiki grow!

P.S. The blog I added was Curtin University’s. For good measure I threw in the new blog of the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), too!

Thanks for providing the blogging libraries wiki. It’s well organized and it’s a good way to see what others are doing with their library blogs.

One note – while Knowledge at Wharton (u of penn) – while it’s affiliated with the Wharton School – is not a library blog. I’m not sure who added that to the list, but it seems out of place.

You’ve done a great thing, Amanda. Your efforts show how one person’s idea can start something useful, interesting, and worthy of developing through the collective hive–your wiki is certainly a great step in that direction.

[...] What is really exciting me is how people are starting to see the practical use of wikis for smaller-scale projects. Amanda Etches-Johnson has been providing the library blogosphere with an amazing resource for years: a list of blogging libraries. While this probably was a manageable project in the past, the number of libraries that blog has grown ridiculously large and the number of libraries that start and quickly abandon blogs is even larger. It’s not something any one person can maintain unless it is their only job (and as far as I know, Amanda is a busy gal). So instead of abandoning the project, Amanda wikified this resource. Now anyone whose library has a blog or whose blog has changed URLs, met an untimely demise, etc. can add or update the information in the wiki. The burden is not 100% on Amanda, but is distributed throughout the blogosphere. And that’s what’s so beautiful about wikis — what one person could never do, the entire community can accomplish easily with a wiki. [...]

Hey, Amanda! This really great thing of you to do! I’ve found your list very helpful so I am glad you’re keeping it going in this way, which seems much more practical.

Thanks!

YAY! Very smart idea. It will definitely take the burden off of you for keeping the resource up to date. Rock on!

Great job! I just updated the entries for the blogs for my library at Baruch College.
