Blogs
Blogs began as online personal journals, but they have emerged as broad Web tools with many applications -- and they're some of the most effective current awareness tools, because they allow for direct participation and feedback and are often updated frequently. In conjunction with RSS feeds, most blogs offer a subscription feature that allows for content to be sent directly to subscribers.
Cornell Library staff maintain several blogs, including:
Shelf Life: the Cornell Chronicle's blog on all things Library
Problem Solved: the blog for the Engineering, Math, and Physical Sciences (EMPS) Libraries
@ Olin & Uris Libraries: what's up on the south side of the Arts Quad
History @ CUL: news of interest to historians from the Cornell Library
EnglishLit @ CUL: a current awareness blog for Cornellians engaged in the study of English-language literature and associated subjects
Government Studies @ the Library: for the students and faculty of the Cornell Department of Government
