My apologies to Jenelle. This one slipped through our net. Enjoy some fresh new blogs. Kathryn

Woohoo lets get all bloggy for Blog day!
Five from Jenelle are -
TVnewser - Part of Media Bistro, this blog is for anyone who is as hooked on the goings on in TV news media as I am. As they say… ‘it is news about the news’.
Stuck in the 80s - The blog of one of one of my favourite weekly podcasts. Very addictive!
Skullset - A favourite photoblog of mine, lots of people watching and scenes from urban LA.

5 new blogs you say? Well I don’t know much about what’s new out there, but I can point you to 5 new(ish) to me blogs.

It's Blog Day 2007!
"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."Here's my five (not necessarily library-related) blog recommendations; I'm violating some of the rules of Blogday by not notifying the bloggers, but I suspect they'll live; also, these are not new, because the few new blogs I'm following are all humor-related (and not necessarily safe for work!).Lifehacker.

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 e...

Blog Day
It’s the 3rd Annual Blog day, and my first annual, since I don’t think I was even blogging last year at this time just yet.
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.

BlogDay2007: Five New Blogs for Your Consideration
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.

Happy Blog Day 2007
It is Blog day again. 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 a...

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’v...

Happy Blog Day from snail
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:

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.

Happy blog Day, from Fiona
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...

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 f...

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!

Great post today from Alan Weinkrantz who writes about his Blogger pal and sometimes client, Jeff Pulver. 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 count...
