Lauren's Library Blog

Had some difficulty finding a blog on my topic so here is one that is about libraries and technology more generally.  http://laurenpressley.com/library/

Lauren Pressley is the Associate Director for Research and Learning at Virginia Tech University Libraries and wrote So You Want To Be a Librarian and Wikis For Libraries. Her blog is about libraries, information and education but she examines these from more of a philosophical viewpoint than a practical one. Her Ideas section post about technology provides a good basic summary of why the use of technology in libraries is important. The Future of Libraries post is also interesting. The intended audience would be anyone working in a library environment.

*Edit: Her experience in this area means that this is an authoritative blog.

  1. Good evaluation Julia. You need to state 9the obvious really) as to whether you think this is authoritative - you have given reasons of course just give the conclusion of your reasoning. Also could you please check your citation - there should be an author. What specific style are you using?

    thanks
