Weblogs and Blogging -- Resources for School Libraries

Anne Clyde commenced this section of the School Libraries online website. With the ongoing interest in the implications of Web 2.0 technologies for school libraries it is appropriate to update the page and provide opportunity for others to contribute.

This page contains links to information about blogging, links to lists and directories of weblogs, and some sample school library weblogs. It is intended only to provide an introduction.
