Blog your way through school

Steven M. Cohen of Library Stuff posted yesterday about student blogging. From his post:

I'd love to see library schools embrace blogs and ask for volunteers from their students to blog a semester (or even a full 2 year program). Reasons? 1) To show potential library school students what the programs are about. 2) To help recruit to the profession. 3) To get more librarians (and library schools) excited about blogging.

That all sounds good to me. From the student's perspective, I have found blogging very rewarding. Reasons?

• to keep track of all the cool web sites that I learn about in library school


• to have an informal place (that isn't graded!) to work out ideas for classwork


• to think aloud about library issues that aren't directly related to classwork


• to prove to myself (and potential employers) that I can generate web content


• to connect to the blogosphere of professional working librarians
