Law Librarian Bloggers go Public
Blog tools can be a great way to feed current information to a library's constituency. Blogs are easy to use, easy to maintain, and perhaps most importantly, allow librarian bloggers to communicate brief pieces of information in a chronological fashion, while, in some cases, also building archives by subject/category.
David Badertscher, librarian at the New York Supreme Court Criminal Term Library, has recently introduced a blog for his library users. He includes cases of note, current events relating to law and legal research, and other news items of potential interest. His tool of choice is the Bloglines blogging function, a no-cost and quick way to get information out to the real world.
As reported by FeedMeLegal, Kirkland and Ellis librarians/researchers are publishing research tips and developments on their recently released blog, Kerblog.
While these aren't "enterprise blogs", because they are available on the open web, the principle is the same in that their main audience is likely to be their own attorneys and staff. Though, in these cases, the rest of us can always listen in!
