Today’s Discoveries

Here’s what I found today:

Concerns over the new FTC rules for bloggers.  I find them especially confusing for people who blog for libraries.

SoundBible looks like a great resource for podcasters.  And since I have an eventual goal of eventually making an eventual podcast, I have merrily bookmarked it.  I plan to look at it – eventually.

A mind-expanding article from School Library Journal is about the future of school libraries, but works for all types of libraries.  I have been reading it for the last couple of days, savoring it, returning to it again and again.  They speak to the future of libraries that I envision too.  This is one to be shared, discussed and explored in every library and library system.

SLJ also had a wonderful article about the library as kitchen rather than grocery store.  How can you in your library make it more of a laboratory, a place to build, explore, create connections?  Is that the future of your library?  Or would that be too messy, too loud, too much?

Blogging in the Public Sector is filled with tips and ideas for people in government who are starting to blog.
