Links to Good Examples of Similar Sites

Hellos from Oscar night. Wow, writing a blog is quite challenging -- it's so demanding to always need to come up with new and important things to discuss -- even where we have a guide of topics.

With that said, prompted by the "Links to Good Examples of Similar Sites" bullet, I went in search of other blogs about, by and for reference librarians. In my head, of course, I was like, "No one is going to have ever conceived of writing about their professional and educational experiences in the library profession" (note sarcasm). So, I was terribly surprised to find out that there are so many sites out there on topic. Some of them even look interesting. More important than the wealth of "similar sites," there are several indexes. See for example,

http://librariansindex.blogspot.com/

or

http://www.dmoz.org/Reference/Libraries/Library_and_Information_Science/Weblogs/

I took a tour of various sites. Although many of the indexed links are dead or quite dated, I did find some interesting sites in terms of style and content.

I can't help but think that all this blogging is sort of silly. Links to other links in this circular world of everyone as a talking head. Blah, blah, blah. I can't believe this is the true future of academia. I should be more excited by the democratization of all this "journalism."

Wow, that last paragraph actually is what I am railing against. Oh, the irony . . . .

Thank you!
