MLS student bloggers

I'm going to compile a list of blogs by MLS students. I have four audiences in mind for this:

1. library student wannabes who want to read about what library school is really like


2. library students who want to compare and share experiences


3. seasoned librarians who want to understand where new librarians are coming from


4. library science professors who want to understand the students' perspectives

A frequently updated list of student blogs would facilitate all of these activities.

I'm going to start with two lists. One for bloggers who are currently students and a second for bloggers who have graduated but still have entries in their archives that were made while they were students.

For now, I'm just going to put it up on my blog, updating when I have new entries. When it gets too long for a blog post, I'll give it a permanent home or turn it over to a beginning MLS student blogger and let him or her give it a permanent home.

Here is my initial list of current student bloggers:

• Ask Nettie Day


• I Like Dust


• lis.dom


• ...the thoughts are broken...


• viaProni


• Wanderings of a Student Librarian

Here is my initial list of former student bloggers, with graduation dates so you know how far to go back in the archives if you want to see the student entries:

• Caveat Lector, May 2005


• Confessions of a Mad Librarian, May 2004


• Hidden Peanuts, July 2005


• nichole's auxilary storage, May 2004


• VALISblog, June 2005

I hereby request additions to both lists. I'm sure I missed some, even from my own blogroll (I found another this morning after drafting this post last night).

Oh, and I'm going to add one more blog because it's targeted to library students and library student wannabes: Librarians at the Gate     #
