Just a quick post in case you didn’t see the announcement on Jennie’s blog – the UK Library Blogs wiki is now open for any registered user to edit.

Time has flown by, but it’s been two whole years now since Jennie initially starting looking for UK library blogs. What initially began as an individual (Jennie!) searching out for other UK bloggers, was turned into a directory of both individual blogs written by librarians and library blogs written for users, and supplier or other information professional’s blogs. With a little bit of assistance from Phil Bradley, Christine Rooney-Browne, and myself, it has been kept up-to-date and developed further to incorporate additional entries to newly discovered blogs, relevant descriptions for each entry, dates last checked to ensure currency, and links to Twitter accounts where applicable.

The time has now come to open it up to enable anyone to register if they wish to add a new entry, edit their own entry, add new functionality, or just register to receive e-mail updates. We are also keen for anyone to use the data as they wish, such as Yahoo Pipes! to aggregate feeds, or the custom search engine I recently had a play with (although I’m sure there are plenty other more impressive things that can be done with the data!).

Many thanks again to Jennie for getting such a useful resource set up, and I hope it continues to develop

Following on from UK law librarian blogger Jennie’s search to find UK librarian blogs, she decided to create a wiki to keep the list up to date and create one place to find UK librarian bloggers.

The wiki has developed into different sections for different types of blog (e.g. individual blogs, institutional blogs) and is growing into a great resource.

I’ve volunteered to help Jennie out in keeping all the information up to date and checking all the blogs to ensure the blurb written about them is accurate, and with the help of others it should continue to grow. If you are a UK library blogger and are not currently listed on the wiki, please e-mail Jennie and she will add you to the wiki (contact details available on the wiki front page).
