Blogs

A blog (short for weblog) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of periodic articles (normally in reverse chronological order).  Most blogs, including these, are syndicated using RSS.  You can find more blogs on Technorati or Google's Blog Search (still in beta).  LIS Feeds maintains a list of library-related RSS feeds. You can also read our article about blogs and RSS.

NSLS is experimenting with this technology as a means to get fast, focused content to our members, as well, to reflect on ongoing issues facing libraries. Below are the most recent posts. See all NSLS blogs here.
