IMO, Waterboro Public Library’s weblog is neither official nor is it personal. It’s written entirely by one person but almost never offers a personal POV, and it is permitted to reside on the library’s website but is not written under the watch of the library director or board, nor does the content derive from anyone officially associated with the library. I suppose if I posted something extremely inflammatory, I would hear from the library board or librarians about it, but it’s not happened yet. I really think the h20boro lib blog is a hybrid. I wonder if there are others….

I think it’s a valuable exercise. There are so many ways to evaluate/study blogs that one study can’t possibly do them all. I think this study is better conducted than J. Bar-Ilan’s works. To actually cover a bigger portion of the blogs, you’d have to automate. At one point there was a group of blog researchers working on this but I guess that fell by the wayside.

I would like to state for the record that I started my blog under that title in July 2002 using the Radio UserLand software. I migrated off it to WordPress in June 2003, but ran the Radio version until my last posting on July 3, 2003. You can still acess the Radio version at http://radio.weblogs.com/0110793/ The entries look kind of funny because I had installed liveTopics and didn’t get round to uninstalling it before my Radio subscription lapsed. I originally used the title in the WordPress version The Ten Thousand Year Blog (June 02003-), but eventually gave up on the date, thinking only librarians would appreciate the humor. So, the long and short of this comment, is also that I think my blog qualifies as one of the oldest. And I would again like to thank Jenny (“The Shifted Librarian”) Levine for her inspiration.

For instance, I only get access to a rolling 24 hour set of stats, not even the log files. I’m not particularly happy about it but there it is.

I’d be interested in seeing a repeat study.

“4. The blogs must not be official library blogs.”

I’ve always assumed that Waterboro’s blog, one of the great library blogs, is an official library blog. I excluded those because I thought (and think) that mixing personal blogs and official blogs is too much apples-and-oranges.

Also, the population grows so much if I include them…
