Librarian blogs and social networks
Angie Dickson, our new librarian, is an fan of the PE blog Phil Rowland set up for this academic year and wants to set up her own. Not only can she use this blog to communicate with students at our school, but with librarians and heads of information services worldwide!
Here’s some examples of some great (newbie-friendly) blogs in the field:
- Steven Cohen (USA)
- Camilla Elliott (Australia)
- Carolyn Foote (USA)
- Kathryn Greenhill (Australia)
- Christopher Harris (USA)
- Anne Johnston (Scotland)
- Jenny Luca (Australia)
- Ian McLean (Australia)
- Cathy Nelson (USA)
- Judy O’Connell (Australia)
- Joyce Valenza (USA)
