Library Blog Awards: Salem Press

Library Blog Awards
Salem Press

. . . from Salem Press:

As you are probably aware, blogs about libraries have spread across the web. There are (literally) hundreds of people writing about books, libraries, librarians and related subjects. Salem Press' staff includes many fans of library blogs. We're entertained and enlightened by them.

So, we've decided to recognize the best efforts in the field. Not only to praise the praise-worthy but also to publicize the good stuff. To that end, we're hosting something we call the Library Blog Awards. But the point isn't only to reward good writing once a year. We'd also like to expose the little-known and excellent in an ongoing way. So, we're developing site where we can point out interesting material on a regular basis. We're going to scour the blogosphere for good library stuff and promote it.

Nominations: accepting suggestions through May 15, 2010.

@ Blogs I Like

Spring AwardsThe first "wave" of awards is for topical blogs. That is, those that primarily involve subjects such as technology, cataloging, literacy, reviews, personal viewpoints, etc.

Autumn Awards
In the autumn we're going to review "local" blogs, those that are primarily devoted to promoting a specific public, academic or school library.
