Thing Four- Exploring Blogs

Exploring other blogs or b(l)og wallowing as Marsh calls it, is one of the best aspects of throwing yourself into the action.  Reading other people's blogs can provide you with a good stock of ideas and inspiration when you're just starting out, and the sense of community will keep you motivated as your blog matures.  Everyone has those periods when you don't know what to write and times when they feel disconnected to what's going on.  This is a good time to reach out and see what other people are doing.

I'm going to make this a fairly short post but in it I want to share a few of my favouite places for insipration, news and relaxation:

Sarah Houghton-Jan, the Librarian in Black, who has the enviable job title of Digital Futures Manager at the San José Public Library.
Bobbi L. Newman who is a Librarian by Day
And finally, the amazing Awful Library Books blog; anyone who told you that collection management can't be fun is evidently not a regular visitor!

I've been really impressed with the blog output from Cam 23 participants, so many of them have a great mix  of humour and information.  A special mention must go to the witty Library Wanderer who, despite being a Bolton fan, has me hanging on her every word.
