On Wednesday November 15th I attended an introductory blogging workshop for librarians (hence this blog). The event was run by ALIA SA in the Computer Training Room in the Barr Smith Library. Participants were given a brief overview of blogging software and pointed towards some utilities for enhancing blogs. We were also shown some personal blogs by librarians and multi-user blogs used to promote library services or aid professional development. Participants could post articles and comments to the Blogging Basics 101 blog (which contains links to some great blogs and resources relevant to librarians) and following the discussion we were encouraged to create our own blogs in the computer lab. This event was promoted on the askPLASA mailing list. You can subscribe to the list from the PLAIN intranet. If you want to start blogging try Blogger.
