Why blogs, and how?

Why integrate a blog into a library Web site?

A blog could potentially transform a static Web site into a dynamic Web site, by creating more movement.

How can librarians use an institutional blog?

1. They can use blogs to announce books or events.
2. They could use blogs to review books and databases.
3. They could share tips for how to use the library or the databases.
4. They could create on-line discussion groups, although there may be a better technology for that.
