The library can really customize programs and collections by paying close attention to the most popular local blogs - in Pittsburgh - it's BurghGirl. I'd be interested to see if a library hosted some 'burghgirl-inspired' event (she's never appeared in public as herself however!) how many non-library-users it would attract! In addition to that, I hear about new restaurants, reviews of local theatre, projects local government is planning - that somehow our local news didn't get the scoop on. Local blogs are invaluable to any librarian! Local blogs are some of the best places to find out what the community is thinking about, expecting, whining about and praising!

One thing I recently learned was not to use underscores in my internet file names. According to most SEO experts, underscores are not viewed by search engines as a separator but as a character. It is best to use a hyphen. Good post. One thing I recently learned was not to use underscores in my internet file names.

Everyone was raving about him. One person said that she learned more about the future of libraries in David's talk than all of the previous educational opportunities combined! In the interest of full disclosure, I work with David and am the new president of MPLA, so I am definately biased. Jim Rettig is fun to talk to and has a quiet, dry sense of humor. It was great he spent so much time with us. David’s talk was awesome. Everyone was raving about him.

(For instance, our own library blog is having record traffic today off of mentions in a few influential local blogs, which feels great, although ultimately it is the NORMAL conversations that really build bonds and establish a library/librarian/library blog as a legitimate presence in the online community.
