Welcome

I want to welcome everyone to the Grassroots Librarian blog, and pass along a couple of interesting resources. The first is the January 2006 issue of Library Trends, which is entitled "The Library Blog: Innovative Idea or Wasted Words". The author, Steven Bell, director of the Paul J Gutman Library at Philadelphia University has some interesting information about library blogs, and also about RSS to HTML technology, allowing RSS feed to translate into educational software such as Blackboard.

On a much different note, an article in the Monday, June 12 Wall Street Journal details the trials and successes of a Chinese blogger, Zou Tao, in a mini revolt against property values and prices in Shenzen and other locations. The article is entitled "Blogger Hits Home by Urging Boycott of Chinese Property".
Blog on!

Paul
