Yes, that is right, today is Blog Day 2007, an event in the blogosphere that would help everyone promote those different weblog posts that even though they may not be very very popular they still provide some really good content. So I thought I would play the game and do my fair bit of homework on it. And that is why in this weblog post I am going to follow the rules of this special event and share five different blogs that I read on a regular basis and whose content is just superb, hoping that you may find them useful as well and may have a chance to subscribe to them if you would wish to. So let’s get down to business: 1. Knowledge-at-work by Denham Grey: Yes, I know, this is not really a new blog at all, since Denham has been blogging already for quite some time. However, things have gone a bit quiet since beginning of the year and I am hoping that with this post I may get him to pick things up and get blogging again. If you browse through some of the different blog posts he has been sharing thus far, you would be able to see that he has got something to say about Knowledge Management, don’t you think? For those folks who may not know, Denham is one of the first folks who was thinking about KM when none of us were even busy with it! Thus, Denham, ready to come back? Please? 2. ... Fri, 31 Aug 2007 19:21:23 +0100 474553 http://diylibrarian.org/archive/2007/08/31/happy-blog-day/ Happy Blog Day 2007! I’m celebrating by sharing five blogs that are a little outside the usual content at DIY Librarian. OK, I’m bending the rules a little bit, because these blogs aren’t new to me, but hopefully some of them are new to you. Tumaini Kids! is a blog written by kids at the Tumaini Children’s Center in Nyeri, Kenya. The kids are part of the Hope Runs project, started by two Stanford University students to provide an understanding of personal health, social entrepreneurship, and technology to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) through running. The kids write about running and other events in their lives—they are inspiring, hilarious, and will steal your heart. Mazurland Blog is the product of one of my co-bloggers on my other blog, The Runaround, and his brothers. The content is very eclectic—just this week there have been posts about punctuation abuse, gun ownership, and learning to play the guitar. I don’t agree with everything, but that’s part of what gets me thinking and questioning my own beliefs. The Comics Curmudgeon keeps me updated on the intense dramas unfolding in Mark Trail, Apartment 3G, Rex Morgan, M.D., and the like. I can’t read this at work because people will wonder why I’m laughing out loud in my office. (“Oh! the latest issue of Population Development Review is just too funny!” wasn’t convincing anyone.) I started reading Bad Librarianship because I thought it would be about libraries. While it is written by a librarian, it is about comics and pop culture. Well, and occasionally about librarians. The Rambling Librarian is actually about libraries. I mention it because it may not be on everyone’s radar since it is from Singapore. It does ramble—the current post, as I type this, is about the custom of burning Hell Bank Notes—but many of my favorite blogs do. ...

In honor of that, I wanted to share an audio track made by 6 and 7 year olds at in Rachel Boyd’s class in New Zealand, about why they like blogs. Download Video: Posted by rachelboyd at TeacherTube.com.  In honor of Blog Day, I’m asked to share five blogs I’d recommend, so here goes. Always Learning   Kim Cofino’s blog from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as she writes about her elementary library job, after years in middle school Chalkdust101  Patrick Higgins shares his enthusiasm for all things web 2.0 Journeys   Diane Cordell’s blog is beautifully written, and I love the quotes she finds to illustrate each post.  Check out her post about “play.” Beyond School   Clay Burrell’s blog is bursting with energy and ideas, and his Global Cooling project is just getting off the ground and looking for participants. K5 Tech   Margie Brown, a campus tech coordinator in our district, is a new blogger that I’d also like to recognize. WhsCareerTech   Another new blogger in our district, Vicky Abney, our business applications teacher, started a new blog last May, and is utilizing hers this year as a daily classroom tool. And a couple of “old” favorites that I can’t leave out– Practical Theory   Principal Chris Lehmann’s always interesting and insightful takes into school reform.   Check out his post on why we teach. Think: lab   Christian Long’s energetic blog often highlights the power of student bloggers.  He’s left the world of school design and is teaching this year for the first time in several years, so this looks to be fascinating reading! Great post today on individualizing our students. ... Fri, 31 Aug 2007 16:24:06 +0100 474893 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Spellboundblog/~3/150554915/ I am taking a moment out of the flurry that is SAA2007 to list five blogs I enjoy to celebrate BlogDay2007: ResearchBuzz posts about internet research. It touches on databases, search engines and all sorts of ways to find information online. I believe that reaching out to the online research community is a huge opportunity for archives. ResearchBuzz is one way I stay connected with what that world is thinking about. Available Online is about digitization (or rather digitisation as it is spelled in the UK). It is a creation of Alastair Dunning, the Programme Manager for the JISC Digitisation Programme. A Beautiful WWW focuses on a neat cross section of information visualization, research, web programming and data mining. Mashable is a popular blog on Web 2.0 and social networks. This one is very high volume, but if you have been feeling out of the loop on all the latest Web 2.0 developments - this is a great blog to add to your RSS reader and skim through for items of interest. StorageSwitched! is the blog of the CEO of StorageSwitch. I like this blog because it gives me a view into the hardware world of storing data on disk - but also ponders everything from using your empty disk drives space to pondering preservation efforts. To see other lists of fabulous blogs, take a look at all the BlogDay2007 posts on Technorati. I hope you enjoy discovering some new blogs today.. and now back to our regularly scheduled SAA 2007 programming!

Here is a list of five blogs that are new to me over the past year - and that I now read assiduously. Gather No Dust -Jeff Scott is a library manager who blogs. He blogs quite a bit about technology and its impact on library staff - a topic which I think needs more attention. nirak.net - Karin Dalziel is a fellow LIS student. I thoroughly enjoy reading her blog - she always reminds me that I’m not alone in my struggles in graduate school. The Vital Library - Martha Hardy is another LIS student. I often get many web quizzes from her - and that makes me happy. Midnight Run - Joe Fox is also an LIS student in an online program at San Jose State University. He posts quite a bit about his experience in school. Circ and Serve - Mary Carmen Chimato is the head of access and delivery services at a large academic library. She add a unique voice to the world of library blogs - one that I always enjoy reading.

Thanks Paul! (Source: heyjude) Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:52:36 +0100 474289 http://www.nyu.edu/classes/siva/Vaidhyanathanpronounce.mp3 Today is a holiday! "Blog Day was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors."  In keeping with the spirit of Blog Day (August 31), here are five blogs worth checking out! Confessions of a Mad Librarian -- When Eli Edwards, an SLA member, talks about copyright and intellectual property issues, many people listen. Her posts are well-written and thought producing, even though they are infrequent. Hopefully she will write more frequently once she is through with law school. Lifehacker -- "Computers make us more productive. Yeah, right. Lifehacker recommends the software downloads and web sites that actually save time. Don't live to geek; geek to live."  There is always something of interest in Lifehacker and frequently tips that will be very useful. Linked Intelligence --  Likely you've heard of the networking site called LinkedIn. Maybe you're using LinkedIn and, if you are, probably you feel like you could be using it better. This blog is dedicated to using LinkedIn well. Scott Allen, who writes this blog, even does Extreme LinkedIn Profile Makeovers. O'Reilly Radar -- This is a team blog with Tim O'Reilly as the chief blogger. It covers topics such as emerging technology, Web 2.0, open source and more. Because the blog covers a technology broadly, there is always something of interest in it. Sivacracy -- This is a team blog headed by Siva Vaidhyanathan (pronunciation), who is now a faculty member at the University of Virginia.  Now a project of the Institute for the Future of the Book, this blog focuses intellectual property, free culture, globalization and more. Siva and his team tackle serious topics, but have fun too, especially since they make good use of media in the blog. ... Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:20:12 +0100 474919 http://heyjude.wordpress.com/2007/08/31/blogday-2007-from-downunder/ Today it is BlogDay!! an event to foster more connections between bloggers and a way to get to know other bloggers with other interests from other countries. Thinking about the global context, I thought to myself “if there is only one blog from the whole world that I am allowed to read for the next 12 months what would I choose?”. Without hesitation, my choice was John Connell, because he keeps me in touch with a diversity of things - culture, history, society, philosophy, technology, news, ideas, creativity, and just good fun. Thanks John. However, since I blog downunder right here in Sydney Town, I’ve decided to highlight 5 blogs (so hard to choose!!!) from Australia rather than other countries, to promote our emerging culture, point of view, and attitude in the global conversation, and to say ‘thanks’ the the aussie bloggers that I have added to my reading list this year! Drop by (if you haven’t already) and enjoy the read. Sue Waters at Mobile Technology in TAFE has done a stunning job promoting mobile technologies, e-learning and m-learning tools and strategies, is always investigating new and challenging ways of incorporating Web 2.0 into the education experience. John Pearce at My Other Blog teaches in a primary school in Victoria, but his work draws on the global conversation to drive his thinking and practice in his own school. As John says, the whole Web 2.0 scene is moving so rapidly it is only via that web itself that you can hope to keep up. Melinda Phillips at The Parramatta Learnscope Team blogs with a special purpose - to challenge her project team to explore Web 2.0 for professional learning, and teaching in a ’21st century’ way. Great guidance and good reading. ...

If you do not read German, you can use Babelfish to give a decent translation of the text. Although already familiar with Archivalia, I want to thank Klaus Graf, a Digitization 101 reader, for recommending it.Collaborative Manuscript Transcription -- Written by Ben Brumfield, a software developer and Digitization 101 reader, this blog is focused on his family history project. As he says, this is a place for him to organize his "thoughts about software for collaborative manuscript transcription and annotation."Figoblog (French) -- This is written by Manue, who is a librarian interested in "bibliotheque numerique." The blog touches on topics just as digitization, metadata, information retrieval and much more. If you do not read French, you can use Babelfish to give a decent translation of the text.Investigations of a Dog -- In talking about this blog, Gavin Robinson wrote:This blog is for works in progress; reflections on things I've been reading; extracts from and criticism of my PhD thesis; and random thoughts on history, historiography, culture, literature, information technology, and, of course, other people's blogs.Ben Brumfield, who recommended this blog, said that Investigations of a Dog contains well-thought out posts on digitization and pointed especially to this one.O'Reilly Radar -- This is a team blog with Tim O'Reilly as the chief blogger.

Op die dag is het de bedoeling dat je even aandacht besteed aan vijf blogs die jij interessant vindt. Ik verander de doelstelling bij deze enigszins omdat ik vijf biblioblogs even voor het voetlicht wil brengen die mij de laatste onder ogen zijn gekomen. De / BibliotheekUit de omtrekken van een bibliotheek in Arnhem, welke precies heb ik nog niet kunnen achterhalen. Al getipt door Edwin. Ik moet toegeven, sinds de vakantie ben ik wat roestig in het updaten van de lijst.HvADDHet weblog van de mediatheek van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam. Maar er eigenlijk sinds maart van dit jaar consequent op geblogd door Peter J. Kuipers. VakblogHet weblog van Raymond Snijders, mediathecaris van de Saxion Hogeschool in Enschede. Blijkt al sinds december 2006 in de lucht te zijn, maar op een of andere manier heb ik deze tot voor kort over het hoofd gezien. LibrarEvolution Het weblog van Erik Hulsken, informatiebemiddelaar bij het mediacentrum Hogeschool Windesheim te Zwolle. Hoewel dit blog pas recent loopt, is er ook een voorloper, die terug gaat naar december 2006. hogeschoolbiebDe meest spannende. Maar blogday vraagt om 5 blogs onder de aandacht te brengen. Dus dit prematuurtje ook maar even om het kwintet te completeren. Toch wel een aardige oogst zo over de vakantieperiode. (Source: WoW! Wouter over het Web) Fri, 31 Aug 2007 04:00:00 +0100 474550 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lint/~3/150371174/ I’m playing around a little with the restrictions for Blog Day 2007 and going for a combination of blogs I’ve recently come across, blogs I’ve re-discovered and blogs that continue to delight with new content…admittedly that last is stretching the rules ever so slightly. Some of my interests of late have veered toward the esoteric and the obscure. So here are 5 blogs that have crossed my path: language hat - I’ve always had an interest in words and translations, nevermind changes across editions. I came across this blog in the blogroll of an old favourite that ceased a year or so back. Dark Roasted Blend - I’m a little undecided on this one at the moment, however I’ve linked to the post that attracted my attention rather than main page. This blog is picture intensive covering interesting quirks. The Presurfer - This is an old favourite that I’ve not read in a long, long time, a site for generalists. It’s been running since 2000. xkcd - one of my favourite cartoons, it appeals to the geek philosopher in me. Arts & Letters Daily - Another old favourite I’ve recently returned to. I used to cite articles from it regularly in my early blogging days. Somehow I overlooked it when populating my aggregator. Revisiting the blogroll of my old blog reminded me of its absence in my current reading. One of the primary blog discovery tools I used, or used to use and now lament, is the humble blogroll. These days I read most blogs via an aggregator and rarely visit the actual blog. In doing so I miss the bits around the blog: the look and feel, the colour, the typesetting, and the blogroll. Some sites have extensive rolls and others keep it tight. It was always a delight to happen upon a long and interesting list, plenty of food to pick at, avenues to explore. ... Fri, 31 Aug 2007 03:43:38 +0100 474598 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lint/~3/150322759/ Following on the theme from the Thali, in celebration of Blog Day 2007, here are 5 blogs, new to me this year, which I am enjoying. Annoyed Librarian - the devil’s advocate in many a discussion, with a particular rant over Library 2.0 at present, which has been picked up across the biblioblogosphere. Always good to hear a dissenting voice - makes you think hard about what you believe. Library Voice - I was fortunate to attend a very practical presentation by Chad Boeninger at Computers in Libraries 2007. His blog continues that theme, with very practical techy, library type stuff. Walt at random - one of my favourite library writers, gives me plenty to digest and mull over - I hang out for his Cites and Insights newsletter every month. His blog gives me a fix between issues. OPLIN 4cast - I spent the day at OPLIN in April. This blog focusses on four key issues for the time and brings together links from various sources to give a good round up of the topic. Often they are links to sources I have not seen. Uncontrolled Vocabulary - I have to jump on the bandwagon here with Kathryn. The podcast is awesome, its informative, casual and lots of fun.

In response to the original post by Kathryn these are 5 blogs that I read: Joho the Blog - by David Weinburger author of the Everything is Miscellaneous book; In Photos dot org - by Donncha O Caoimh. Every day is a new photo and is an inspiration to someone like me who likes to take photos but isn’t any where near as good as he is; findability.org - by Peter Morville author of the Ambient Findability book and co-author of Information Architecture; Motho ke motho ka botho - A blog about Ubuntu Linux the distribution of Linux I use, as well as other distributions, with a focus on getting the most out of “old” computer hardware; and If I Ran the Universe - An often hilarious and irreverent look at life through the eyes of a librarian who works in a public library. This is a rather eclectic group of blogs and I have lots of others in my aggregator. Compiling this post also gave me an opportunity to clean out some of the ones I don’t read any more or have been updated lately. I also think this post highlights one of the wonderful things about blogs, there are a lots of people blogging about all sorts of topics and it shows how diverse the world really is.

Last year I mentioned five blogs that had under 200 bloglines subscribers as my favourite new blogs. Interesting to see how they have grown: Temporal Island. De walks around Perth recording her observations and seeing more than the average person does. Stephen’s Lighthouse . By SirsiDynix’s Vice President of Innovation, Stephen Abram Walt at Random Where Walt Crawford blogs about things not quite ready for his other sites. WebDiary-Independent, Ethical, Accountable and Transparent Hightly respected Australian journalist, Margot Kingston, Margo founded Webdiary for the Sydney Morning Herald in July 2000 and took it independent on August 22, 2005. I am Matthew Williams and You are Not | www.instructionUnderground.com Notes from the Writing Instruction Underground. Matthew writes about using new social technologies to engage students in his university. This year my picks are: Mobile Technology in TAFE Uncontrolled Vocabulary When Convention Fails - New Worlds can be Found Al Upton and the Minilegends Virtually a Librarian Head over to lint to see why. BlogDay2007, blogging (Source: Librarians matter) Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:39:09 +0100 473863 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lint/~3/150296904/ BlogDay2007 is here! Here are five blogs that I have found especially interesting: Presentation Zen: Focused on creativity, design and giving good presentations whether at conferences, classes, work or wherever. Although it’s primarily about public presentations, it also has lots of great advice about being creative and presenting information (eg statistics) clearly - relevant for most of us who do this type of work now and then. Juice Analytics: On a similar theme, Juice discusses how to present information, dashboards, data visualisation and data mining. This blog veers into business intelligence territory, a good field to follow. Science Library Pad: I’m not a science librarian, but I have a strong interest in eResearch, the future of scholarly communication and researcher behaviour and science blogs are where it’s at. This blog does a great job of summarising trends and technology as they apply to libraries. Gaping Void: Smart, funny cartoons about business, life, creativity etc (note: some language). The Journey Itself is Home: Tour blog by various members of Björk’s band and crew. Fascinating because it gives insights into life on the road, a good example of what many bands are doing with blogs now. Blog Day is a good time to reflect on what’s in my reader. Right now, I don’t have any non-English blogs that I’m reading, which should be recitified. You can auto-translate feeds using Yahoo! Pipes so it’s easier than ever to keep up with happenings in Europe, Japan and elsewhere (even if the translations aren’t always perfect). This year I’ve added lots of feeds about research, presentations, and leadership. I’ve dropped a lot of journal TOC feeds (ironically, I just added the TicTOCs project blog). Blog Day 2007 Blog Day (Source: librariesinteract.info) Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:30:21 +0100 473848 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lint/~3/150270176/ I think this is my third Blog Day - time flies when you’re having fun! Five blogs that I find interesting? My picks (I’m going to cheat a bit and call them new, even if they’re only new to me): Ockham’s Razor, subtitled musings of the lazyst environmentalyst. Written by Clare, “a librarian doing research”, this blog is mainly about environmental issues and what we can do to reduce our impact on the planet. How to Save the World, written by Dave Pollard. I don’t really know how to describe this blog. I suppose you could say that Dave writes about all sorts of issues to do with the future of our world. Sometimes I find myself not able to read it because I find the ideas so confronting and challenging. Always a lot to learn from this blog. Morgan first brought this blog to my attention - thanks Morgan! Treasure Trove of Useless Information by Damien Wang, a librarian with the National Library Board of Singapore. Those Singaporeans are doing lots of interesting things! Matilda. Perry Middlemiss writes this blog, which is all about Australian literature. Problogger by Darren Rowse. This is definitely not a new blog, but it’s an interesting one if you want to learn more about blogging, ways to improve your blog, and ways to make money by blogging. (Not that I’ve ever considered being a pro blogger, myself. I like my day job too much ) Happy Blog Day! What are your favourite blogs, and why? BlogDay2007 (Source: librariesinteract.info) Thu, 30 Aug 2007 22:00:56 +0100 473849 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lint/~3/150123668/ Happy Blog Day 2007. Here’s five blogs that have been going for less than a year, that I find interesting: Mobile Technology in TAFE - Sue Waters is a passionate addict of new technologies and combines her job of finding out about e-learning, m-learning and Web2.0 with that of lecturing in fish farming. Right now she is competing in the 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge. Uncontrolled Vocabulary Ok, so it’s a bit like calling Big Brother a web site, but it does have a blog and it is new. The main part of Uncontrolled Vocabulary is a weekly podcast that anyone can join in, discussing issues in librarianship raised in the media and online during the last week. When Convention Fails - New Worlds can be Found - Here is Zane’s description of what his blog is about: My mum is a lecturer in marketing, advertising and international business. Mum also knows more than I realised about the online worlds I am used to - myspace, online gaming - X-Box and Playatation as well as knowing alot about tools and other things that I did not know existed. I am a year 10 student in Melbourne Australia and have not had a great time at school due to having chronic fatigue for along time. Mum gave me a choice to continue in formal education for the remainder of this year (at school) or to work alongside her, learning what I need to and more - that is what she told me. I have decided to let mum guide me and will be learning from home, using social networking tools and technologies as well as other online materials, mum has found. Al Upton and the Minilegends A class of 8 and 9 year olds at Gelenelg School in South Australia who are using a blog extensively in their classroom. They each have their own blog. Check out their “6 word story challenge“. Virtually a Librarian: Kate Davis, who has run a couple of sessions about millenials and libraries moved from the National Library of Australia in mid-July to the Gold Coast. ... Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:01:31 +0100 473850 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lint/~3/149881995/ It’s a year since the last Blog Day, where we shared with you some of our favourite new blogs. (Yes, librariesinteract.info has already had its first birthday with a few friends and a birthday cake at home. ) Tomorrow some of us will be sharing 5 blogs we find interesting. If you’d like to join in, feel fee to contribute your own post. Here’s the posting instructions from http://www.blogday.org/ BlogDay posting instructions: 1. Find 5 new Blogs that you find interesting 2. Notify the 5 bloggers that you are recommending them as part of BlogDay 2007 3. Write a short description of the Blogs and place a link to the recommended Blogs 4. Post the BlogDay Post (on August 31st) and 5. Add the BlogDay tag using this link: http://technorati.com/tag/BlogDay2007 and a link to the BlogDay web site at http://www.blogday.org (Source: librariesinteract.info) Thu, 30 Aug 2007 01:17:05 +0100 473851 http://heyjude.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/blogging-that-collaborative-continuum/ Thanks to a post by Janet over at Fusion Finds I was reminded that the third annual Blog Day is August 31, 2007. (I missed this last year!). BlogDay is an event to foster more connections between bloggers. A way to get to know other bloggers with other interests from other countries. On Friday the 31st, write a post describing 5 blogs you recommend. Preferrably blogs that are different from yours in culture, point of view, and attitude. Notify these bloggers and tag your post with BlogDay2007. This is a great way to connect with other bloggers and pass along some link love. Go on, join the power of the crowd! Better still, visit Fusion Finds: Educators Integrating Technology. I discovered Janet’s blog as a result of a comment on Heyjude - see the power of comments? I love the workshops, the ideas, and the models that I can adapt to my own needs here in Australia. I think I will use these ideas to build further on Judy’s Web 2.0 notes for my new learners.  What will you find to excite or enjoy?

Read it but instead of just sending this out to your fellow bloggers, why not consider utilizing this with your Myspace friends or setting up cards in-house by the computers and inviting the gamers to tag players from around the world. This is an excellent way to integrate all the diversity efforts in our libraries- why not combine the virtual with the reality and make a huge wall diagram- having people fill in names of people they know from around the world and let others connects lines from those names in those countries.... okay so its early and my thinking cap might be a loose but you get the idea...take what we are seeing that is going to be hitting the internet and get a jump on it in your libraries.... the kickoff for this is the 31st... Here's the full post. Back in December 2006 he started a game of ”Blog-Tag” which thousands of bloggers took part of and in fact some are still playing.He is now promoting the idea of BlogDay 3 which takes place on August 31st.To take part, all you have to do is suggest five blogs, preferably Blogs that are different from your own culture, point of view and attitude.The goal of this version of blog-tag is for the readers of these blog posts to find themselves leaping around and discovering new voices and Blogs to explore. This in turn will help celebrate the discovery process of finding new people, their voices and their blogs.When creating your BlogDay blog entry, please try to follow these instructions:1. List five Blogs that you find interesting and if you can tell, include the city/country where they are from.2. Identify five Bloggers to tag to join in this game with you. I recommend emailing the bloggers you tag to give them a heads up of you tagging them.3. Use the tag: BlogDay2007 in your blog post.Here are my 5 blogs for you to review and check out:1. ...
