What Makes A Good Library Blog?

I may not be the one to ask since I subscribe to less than 10 library blogs but the ones I like have the following characteristics:

- keeps me informed without having to do my own research
- looks at the new media from a postmodern perspective
- highlights new technologies
- challenges library thought as we know it
- Oh...and showcases my library's work!!

A blog must be stress-free easy for the computer-challenged.

I think a good library blog shares a personal face to our constituents. Your blog is honest and forthright about your lack of experience, and I think that makes you more approachable - more real. Blogs that are specifically about libraries and services should probably highlight those services while remaining inviting and non-threatening to potential users. Thanks for starting us on this journey, Scott!

All of your characteristics are valid. I do not have time to waste on information that does not add value to my life.
