7. What Is a Blog? “ A blog is a web page (usually) written in a programming language, where the content of the site is stored in a metadata-rich format, and the presentation of the content is (usually) in a reverse chronological order. Each piece of content is (usually) the product of a single author, and the content is updated regularly. The page in question (usually) has some form of social component, whether through comments, trackback, or other mechanism of communicating content or feedback.” -- Library Blogging

Every library, whether public, academic or corporate is answerable to its patrons. Blogs are outreach, problem solving, and patron feedback all in one...
Every library has something in their collection that can change someone's life if they only knew about it. And every library is going awesome stuff that deserves more attention. What are YOU doing to let everyone know about your collections and your services? How could a blog figure into your communication avenues?
Blogging gives libraries the ability to reuse information in structured ways...what librarian wouldn't love that? RSS gives you the ability to embed the information elsewhere, feed automatically updating sections of your webpages, push information out via email, etc.
