Blogs & Wikis – Shiny Toys or Useful Tools?
Walt Crawford discusses the current state of blogs and wikis in the library field in this month’s issue of Cites & Insights. Based on his presentation at the 2009 OLA SuperConference in Toronto, his article Shiny Toys or Useful Tools? discusses trends and presents over 30 success stories.
“We’re out of the shiny new toy phase for blogs (and
wikis). I’m guessing most libraries these days will only
start blogs after making reasonably certain the blogs
will serve real purposes and will be updated regularly.
I’m guessing very few library people start blogs in the
expectation of becoming rich and famous.”
