Computers in Libraries Report: Supporting KM with Weblogs by Michael Angeles (description)
I was pretty excited to see Michael because I read his article (Angeles, Michael, 2003. "K-Logging: Supporting KM with Web Logs." Library Journal 128, 7: 20. Reed Business Information. Available online here, accessed last 3/12/04) . I'm definitely all for using blogs, community blogs, and feeds as relevant to help build communities and help with enterprise information sharing and collaboration. There are serious barriers to this free and happy information sharing in scientific and technology related organizations (security, competition, intellectual property, etc.). I also networked with a colleague from a similar workplace who is also considering implementing blogs in the library and in the lab. A next step for me is to figure out who on our staff has personal blogs to see if we can get some social networking going and then maybe use these people to start a grassroots movement. The library can provide the technology and server space on the intranet to enable these connections.... wheels turning....
For others I met at this session: Here's a brief bibliography of help with RSS and blogs:
BTW- I'm not linking all these, the assumption is that you can find them from the cite or ask your librarian for help!
