For the benefit of those who might not be familiar with the concept of a blog carnival, this is a weekly (or fortnightly, or monthly) event that travels around from blog to blog, a sort of virtual carnival showcasing the weird and wonderful world of library folks in the blogosphere. The hosting blogger usually volunteers to host the carnival on his/her blog, and advertises it.
Other bloggers take note, write posts to submit as “exhibits” at the carnival, then email the host to let her/him know so the post can be described and featured on the host blog.
The Carnival of the Infosciences has been running for quite some time: visit the Carnival’s wiki if you would like to explore previous carnivals, or volunteer to host a carnival on your own blog! (I’ve done it before on my personal blog; it is good fun, you get to find out about interesting posts and blogs, and you get exposure for your own blog!
