Blogging @ NSUBA Library Using Blogs to Instruct and Communicate Within & Beyond
2
Our first blog: NSUBA Library Blog
3
A little bit about our blog: Started as a SLIS student project Linked from our home page Goal: to provide information to our patrons and others in the community Now has five authors – have met to plan the ‘future’ of the blog Challenges: what do we blog about? Most popular posts are flags @ half staff
4
Another look: Our sidebar provides a search function, library tips, RSS feed option, library photos…
5
Sidebar cont.: …general information, links to blogs, websites…
6
Sidebar cont.: …more blogs and helpful educational links!
7
Our internal blog: Librariantics
8
About this blog: Met a need for communication internally Desktop shortcut from circ computers (private blog – log in with generic or personal email) Goal: to inform staff without cluttering email boxes (auto archived, searchable) Challenges: notification problems Desk shift conflicts, student worker issues, general U info, technology solutions, project discussions

Instruction Blog: Library Suvivor
11
Details: Came from an idea to teach IL in game format – still a work in progress Allows students to ‘complete’ library tasks that are place as challenges in the blog post It’s interactive: Students record their ‘answers’ or results as comments Links to a wiki that provides info, images, tutorials about library resources
12
Lessons learned: I used to think: I don’t have time for another ‘thing’ Now I think: How can this ‘thing’ help improve our library services? Make the technology work for you – if it doesn’t work for you, don’t force it
