Librarian Bloggers 1

The followings are some of the recommended library technology blogs from my Document Management course. I saw a few familiar names. There are a few which I have them on my Twitter since last year, such as, Michael Stephens and Lorcan Dempsey. I am that kind of person who loves organising things. So, I visited all the recommended sites, picked up a few details from there and re-organised them. The lists I put here are those that I think it will benefit for other new librarians who are looking for some good blogs to read and know about librarianship. For my planning, I will continue to use this blog in the future to record my librarianship.

And noted that my title is Librarian Bloggers 1, which means, I have Librarian Bloggers 2 and so on to post in few days time. Not to forget, my favourite: The Unquiet Librarian and Musing About Librarianship.

Here are the lists:
