cpd23: What blogs do I follow and why?

I follow several library related blogs using my RSS feed. Here is a list of the blogs I follow:

• American Libraries Magazine: I follow this blog to keep up to date on news and information from ALA.
• lauren's library blog: This is Lauren Pressley's blog. She is the Instructional Design Librarian at Wake Forest University. Her blogs tend to focus on information and the Internet.
• ACRLog: This is ACRL's blog. I follow it to keep up to date of news and information from ACRL. The blog's tagline is "Blogging by and for academic and research librarians."
• the outreach librarian: This blog is maintained by Lizz Zitron, who is the Outreach Librarian at Cathage College in Kenosha, WI.
• lyndamk: Lynda Kellam is UNCG's Data Services and Government Information Librarian. She does a lot of instruction and attends lots of conferences, and she blogs about it! (On a side note, she was one of my mentors in library school, and I cannot say enough about how much she helped me gain real-life library experience. She is one of the big reasons I was able to get a job after I graduated. This women is a real library rock star!)
• The ALA Learning Round Table Blog: This blog contains posts about conferences, continuing education and professional development for librarians.
• A Ghost of Daisies: I went to library school with this newly minted web librarian. (She graduated this past May.) She blogs a lot about web design and Drupal. I don't always understand what she blogs about, but I try.

These blogs help me keep up with trends in libraryland. I also follow lots of librarians on Twitter. It's great for networking and professional development.
