I’ve recently noted a couple of new blogs by Canadian University Librarians.
The University Librarian at Simon Fraser University Library, Lynn Copeland, blogs at Distracted Truffle Pig (great name!).
The University Librarian at McMaster University Library, Jeffrey Trecziak, is blogging too. Thanks to Michael Stephens for the pointer!
Both blogs have started with interesting posts. Lynn talks about the role of academic libraries in facilitating scholarly communication, among other things. Jeffrey ponders the role of the library in building cyberinfrastructure. Definitely worth keeping an eye on, I think!
Are any Australian University Librarians blogging, or considering blogging too, I wonder? I’d love to read their insights and about their visions for the future, and perhaps even engage in conversation with them via the blogosphere!
Addendum 9:07pm: The more I think about this, the more I realise that I’d love to hear more from leaders in all sectors of (Australian) libraryland!

If you are a library director who would like to write occasionally but not want to manage a whole blog, why not register as a contributor here on Librariesinteract.info?

Graham Black the UL from CQU used to have an external blog which he turned into a closed blog earlier this year. Sue Hutley the ED of ALIA has a blog.

Good idea, Peta
Thanks Kate!
I’ve just noted the following from the Blogging Libraries Wiki: a list of library directors’ blogs.
