Mary Whisner's column, "Practicing Reference...", (Law Library Journal) is always a favorite of mine. Now I can welcome her to the world of bloggers. In her summer column she writes, "A Blog's Life", a tale of a law school reference librarian who decides to write a blog, Trial Ad Notes, to be exact.
In the opening paragraph she says "The question of whether developing and writing this blog is a good use of my time still remains open." Trust me, Mary, probably all bloggers wonder about that! The trick may be to market it more broadly than just within the organization. I know, I know, that's the primary reason for it's being, "to support the students and faculty of the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law", but others interested in the topic can help make it seem all worthwhile! Meanwhile, your main audience benefits as well if it keeps you writing.
