I just discovered that some of my former University of Chicago Library colleagues, specifically those in the John Crerar Library, have created their own weblog, called Crerar Library News. As far as I can tell, this is the only blog in use among the libraries at the U of C, which I find interesting. I also find it interesting that they chose to “outsource” by using a third-party software program (Typepad) rather than use something set up and maintained by the U of C Library’s IT department.
Crerar people have always been ahead of the game, in my opinion. They are a savvy bunch. An announcement of this new service is available here. Good for the Crerar librarians!
