I admit that I am not blog reader. I do find myself reading some every so often, especially when I must read them for a class. I had to research what a blog reader was, and I came across a site that listed some of the best ones. I chose to use Feedly to follow several blogs because it's a good one for customizing my blog feed, but there are others for those who are more serious bloggers. As time goes on and I get more adept to checking the blogs, I may decide to use another blog reader.
I am currently following more than five blogs, but these are the ones I will discuss today:
http://blogs.loc.gov/loc - The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world and provides access to their resources in person and online. They curate articles on matters libraries, society and history amongst other. I chose to follow them because I want access to their vast resources.
http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/ - YALSA support libraries and their staff in an effort to empower teen learners through education. I have been teaching teens for seven years and believe that they are not simply overgrown kids; they need to have resources tailored specifically to the way they learn and develop. I chose to follow YALSA to continue learning how to best serve my teen students.
http://letterstoayounglibrarian.blogspot.com/ - This blog belongs to an experienced librarian who gives advice on the trade to novice librarians. I follow this blog because I get input about the realities of the being a librarian, beyond what we learn in our courses.
http://themwordblog.blogspot.com/ - This blog posts information about marketing news and trends for libraries, it also offers other content related to media literacy. I chose to follow it because I want tools and advice that will help me advocate for our library.
http://www.librarystuff.net/ - Library Stuff is a blog dedicated for resources to keeping current and continuing professional development. Articles and other content are archived and can also be browsed through 'tags' that work as keywords. I follow this blog because I found the tags to be a user friendly way to retrieve articles.
