March Blog Spotlight: Library Stuff

The library weblog dedicated to resources for keeping current and professional development.

This blog is the creation of Steven M. Cohen (and is published by Information Today, Inc.). Library Stuff, not only offers information on professional development duties, but also posts current news items that include or affect libraries. These posts vary in terms of source...everything from the New York Times to the Online Athens is used. News posts provide the source of the article, as well as links to the original full-text for anyone interested in more than a brief synopsis.

Library Stuff is a great resource for any librarian. If you want to know what is going on in the world of librarianship, this is the blog to read.

February Blog Spotlight: The Kept-Up Academic Librarian

Helping Academic Librarians "Keep Up" With News and Developments In Higher Education.

This blog, created by Steven Bell, is one of the ones I check every day. This, of course, caused me to put it in my February Spotlight. The Kept-Up Academic Librarian is a blog that focuses on issues in academia, including issues in academic libraries. Entries include news blurbs about what different universities and university libraries are doing, often providing links to full news stories.

The Kept-Up Academic Librarian is a great resource for academic librarians. If you want to know what is going on in the world of academic librarianship, this is the blog to read.

January Blog Spotlight: Beyond The Job

Articles, job-hunting advice, professional development opportunities, and other news and ideas on how to further your library career.

This blog, compiled by Sarah Johnson and Rachel Singer Gordon, is one of my favorite blogs. So, when I decided to start a monthly blog spotlight for 2009 (a chance for all of you to see what blogs I enjoy reading the most), I had to start with Beyond the Job.

Beyond the Job is a great resource for librarians. Whether you want to take a professional development course or you are looking for career advice, this blog is the place for you. It also includes information on scholarships, writing opportunities, or conferences.

I enjoy reading this blog, and I hope you will, too! Happy New Year! I hope to be back on schedule by the end of this week!
