I hope I got everyone. If you sent me email and you are not on this list, let me know. It got a little confusing last week with carnival posts and student blogger additions in my email (but a lot of fun!). As always, I'm looking for more--ones I missed and brand new ones like the one by Travis Ennis.

Mark at ...the thoughts are broken... had some concerns about the purposes that I listed for my initial publication of a list of student bloggers. What he writes about his blog applies, to some degree or other, to mine and all the others on this list. I may use this newfound identification with student bloggers to focus my posts a bit and it sounds like Mark might, too. That can be a good thing. But I would hate for any of us to feel like we somehow needed to represent the group and blogging anything else would be cheating.

Worse, I'm afraid that by listing those purposes, I may have inadvertently discouraged some student bloggers from joining in. A library student who posts only book reviews on his or her blog probably belongs on this list, too, even though that doesn't meet any of my initial goals. So, I'm thinking I need a broader and simpler mandate. Something like this: to represent the glorious diversity of library and information science student bloggers.     #
