Zusammenfassung
Zusammenfassung
In this helpful book, author, Internet trainer, and blogger Michael P. Sauers, MLS, shows how blogging and RSS technology can be easily and effectively used in the context of a library community. Sauers covers everything librarians need to know, beginning with an introduction to the blogging phenomenon and a review of the library "blogosphere." He recommends his favorite blogs, shares the opinions and advice of top librarian bloggers, and offers step-by-step instructions for creating, publishing, and syndicating a blog using free Web-based services, software, RSS feeds, and aggregators. A recommended reading list, examples of feed code, and a glossary round out the book. Book jacket.

Library Journal-Rezension
Presenting a wealth of material, this guide by the technology innovation librarian for the Nebraska Library Commission, Lincoln, aims to introduce readers to the act of blogging, the personalities of library blogging, and the technology lying behind the blog. In each of these areas, he succeeds in making the topic interesting and easily understood. The book's first half is a combination of description, interview, and tutorial. A highlight is the interviews with popular library bloggers, and Sauers uses their voices to flesh out the strengths and weaknesses of the blog format. The tutorial section is limited to Blogger.com, but many of the instructions and descriptions are equally applicable to other sites. Dedicated to RSS (Really Simple Syndication), the volume's second half starts with a discussion of the XML format, then moves on to creating and consuming an RSS feed via aggregators. This section is more technical but is the most useful for librarians. Keeping up with information is a larger part of our job than producing information, and RSS is the ultimate vector for information on the web. This wonderful introduction will be equally useful for public, special, and academic librarians just beginning their investigations into blogging.-Jason Griffey, Library Information Technology, Univ. of Tennessee at Chattanooga (c) Copyright 2010.
