Blogging and Libraries

The idea of setting up blogs in public libraries is an interesting one. Although many a problem may be experienced. The information posted on a blog may not necessarily be authentic. Some bloggers may see the blog as a way of making a statement about unrelated subjects. Libraries would need to spend a great deal of time deciding which Blogs neeed to be removed and which can stay. The Blogs I visites had little responses recorded. Library clients seem to be taking a long time to warm to the blogs. Some sites had no comments attached to them at all. I wonder if the library client that would be inclined to read such information would be more inclined to read it on a notice than on a computer. I suppose the older generation are becoming a little more techno savvy but we may have to wait a little while longer before the computer literate generation hits the library blogs and respond in a big way. Of course I could be very wrong as I have only viewed a couple of library blogs. I can see the use for blogs in a library but at the moment it would be the younger members that would be more inclined to support them.
