This document summarizes a discussion among UBC Library bloggers about blogging practices. It addresses who the bloggers are, why they blog, how they share information via blogs and other channels, who reads their blogs, and how to improve their online presence. Suggestions are made to clearly identify as UBC Library blogs, categorize content, eliminate unused blogs, and seek technical support from library staff. The goals are to distinguish blogs, improve usability, reduce redundancy, and promote blogging in the library community.
