another blog about library blogs

http://librariansindex.blogspot.com/ via the granddaddy of all library blogs about library blogs, lisblogsource. It looks like it is just getting started, where’s Nat, tinylittlelibrarian, or librarystuff for example? It links to things that aren’t blogs, like Walt Crawford’s homepage and a page for Revolting Librarians, I’m not saying those aren’t worthy things to link to, but if they are labeling personal homepages of librarians as librarian blogs they aren’t being very precise about their use of language :)

I’m not sure what to think about the request for link reciprocity, it seems to me that if you were a librarian you’d be able to find pleny of library blogs due to your elite searching skills without needing the blogs in question to link to your site.

    For some reason I have been wiped from these librarian lists (and, ahem, your site) almost as if… as if I wasn’t… you know.

    Whoops, I thought you didn’t want me to link you. I mean, ahem, I’m not linked from your site either buddy ;)

    I’m probably not linked because, sniff, I’m not technically a librarian. But I do play one at the library.

    You’ll always be a librarian to me, Nat!

    It seems the site is some sort of spoof and is NOT affiliated with Librarian’s Index to the Internet. The name they’ve picked is misleading.

    Once a librarian, always a librarian right? I mean technically I’m no longer a librarian per se but I still find myself telling grocery store employees when they’ve misspelled their vegetables. Gawd, but I’m pathetic.
