Dear List:
I know that many out there are "collecting" blogs (
web logs) and I know that there have been sessions recently on the value of
collecting them. There is a big discussion here on the
added value of having blogs cataloged as part of our online
catalog of holdings. I would like to know what sort of bibliographic
control is given to blogs your institution "collects"? Do your
institutions create cataloging records on blogs or are the blogs described and
offered as collections via your archives and special collections web access or
are these listed and available in some other way at your institution? Does
your institution have collecting criteria concerning blogs and, if so, how is it
administered? Your indulgence of my inquisitive Monday post is much
appreciated.
