The Creative Librarian is a hub for matters important to librarians/information scientists of today. There is a definite lean towards electronic issues, however it isn't restricted to only those. Hopefully this site will also be useful for informing non-librarians on these issues as so many of them affect us all.

Because Librarians Teach

Content Delivery in the ‘Blogosphere’ is an article discussing the use of blogs in teaching. The authors make some good points both theoretically and practically. They also reminded me of Dr. Elizabeth Lawley, a librarian and tenured professor, who has integrated blogging software into her technology classes.

Dr. Lawley has posted links to her class site along with step-by-step instructions and templates (requires prior knowledge of the software).

You might have noticed that the software she uses is also used to run this site. I can tell you from experience that installation may be a bit tricky but the support forums are very helpful and the software is extremely easy to use. I would encourage others to experiment with it as a means of easing the process for publishing online.
