I love this program, and not just because Rebecca and Karen are some of my dearest library friends and not because I am listed twice [although those are very good reasons], but because it is the only place where we, the public library workers who help leisure readers each and every day, can go to find the most relevant blogs for us.
So much of the book-centric blog-o-sphere is publisher and book store centered. This presentation is led by library people for library people. And these women are straight shooters. If the blog is listed here it is because it is well done and useful.
Please use the link to watch the presentation AND make sure you save the handout because these are all sites you will use.

I read this post on Digg Reader which I started using because of this presentation and because I needed a way to keep all these great blogs (most of which I hadn't been following, many I hadn't heard of) separate from he non-library ones so I could look at them at work. Wow, that was a long sentence!
That was a great presentation. Not only did they know their stuff, they loved it! It made me realize I'd been depending too much on journals for reviews and how much I've slipped in keeping up with what's popular and books outside of my personal and professional interests. I'm hoping to talk a bit about this presentation (and share the handout) at a staff meeting soon.
Thanks very much for including my blog on your listing! I'm in very good company, as there are many fine blogs on your roster. My librarian-mother would also approve. ;-)
