I can definitely see how blogging would work in a public library. I know I've use patron reviews for bestsellers on Amazon.com to see what others think about books. However I don't view them in Amazon.com for Cd's because I know what I like (80's New Wave!) and don't care what others think.
I'm still not sure if blogging/reader reviews would work in my library which has a clinical medical collection. Most of our print and electronic books are well known in the medical field, like Nelson's Pediatrics or the PDR. Our patrons know these books and ask for them by name.
But as I said in my previous blog time will tell if a blog will work in my library.

My 1st Blog
Hi one and all -
This is my first blog (as if you couldn't tell by the title). Heck, I've never even visited a blog before.
I can't see, at least yet, how a blog could work in a library setting but I know time will tell. I'm enjoying online learning. The best part for me is that I don't have to miss work and use my vacation time to attend class on campus. :-)
Until next time...
