I have decided to add on to my blog created in 2008 and use it as a reference to when I need a reminder on how to do the things then and what I am learning in 2010.
Why would I use a blog?
It seems more relevant now as more and more people have a blog, invite friends to view it and treat as an online diary however I still like my privacy. Emails are good, like receiving photos but would still prefer to talk to someone, must be a generation difference.
But for work purposes it makes you feel part of an organisation, able to contribute to a wider audience and keep up with developments. I have just googled "blog" and read about all the blogs out there - genre, media type etc.
Why would a library have a blog? To appeal to the bloggers out there, to disperse our information in a variety of ways. Add all the features we have on the website to the blog (new books, events, reviews etc) I just looked at the Auckland city Libraries blogs and they have blogs from teh Family history section, Rare books room etc

Hi de hi & welcome back - excellent first post for this round of web 2.0! If it's ok I'd like to make a note of some of the ideas you've listed for how we could use a library blog. I'll be popping in and out of staff blogs to see how everyone's doing and, more importantly, to respond to any queries, comments or suggestions that pop up along the way. Enjoy the rest of the journey :)
