Wanderings of a Librarian

Being found outside of the biblioblogosphere

One of the questions that was asked about the biblioblogosphere last year was "Who is reading us outside of librarians?" But maybe there's a parallel question that is easier to answer and, possibly, at least as interesting. Do bloggers outside of the biblioblogosphere find us? I know that I've been found at least twice by someone outside the field.

A blog for non-profits liked my Bloglines for Librarians tool with the dummy Bloglines account and proposed that non-profits do something similar for the constituents of their websites. I have no idea how they heard about it.

Today, Bloggers Blog found my post about list-making web sites. I imagine they found it doing a blog search on "resolution" since that was what the post was about.

If one of the goals of the biblioblogosphere is to get the library profession out there on the web, maybe hundreds of non-library subscribers isn't the target. Maybe it's enough that we can be found, that our voices are represented.     #
