Bøger af Walt Crawford

Liblogs--blogs written by library people, as opposed to official library blogs--provide some of today's most interesting and useful library literature. This book offers a broad look at English-language liblogs as they are and as they've changed between 2007 and 2008. The book includes more than 600 blogs with detailed analysis of 27 metrics for 2007 and 2008 and changes from 2007 to 2008--and, for 143 of them, 2006 as well. Through tables, charts and text, we explore the liblog landscape.

Library writer and speaker Walt Crawford draws on his experience to assure would-be librarian-writers that they might well have something worth saying. He offers suggestions on how to make your writing and speaking inform, explain, illuminate, synthesize, reveal and entertain your audience.

This text aims to show that in place of futuristic dreaming and madness, libraries can embrace advanced technologies while retaining their role as service-oriented repositories of all formats of organized information and knowledge.
