4th Thing - Question 2

Ideas about how blogging could be used in libraries:


Blogging would be a good tool to use for book discussion groups. Any age group from Elementary students to adults could participate in discussion blogs. Some groups could be strictly on-line propositions, while others could meet at the library periodically to discuss in person and even use the blogs to further discussions. This could be of particular benefit to home bound users and people who are reluctant to join in group situations.


Library blogging could also be used by teachers for recommending materials, sharing lesson plans and ideas, and even assigning projects that students could participate in from school, home or the library.


Blogging could be used by patrons to make inquiries and suggestions.
