Librarian's Matter

I found this blog through Technorati, “Librarians Matter” (Greenhill, 2011). “100 articles that every librarian should read” is the title of the article that attracted me personally. This particular article is about 100 items every Librarian should read and is a work in progress. There are links to a variety of blogs and sites that this blog writer believes we should read. She states it has an Australian slant on it and has created another site for people to submit items to that they believe should be on the list. The author is an Associate Lecturer in Information Studies at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia and speaks regularly about the impact of emerging technologies on libraries and their users. Even though this is a personal blog in one sense it is also her professional blog. I find it to be a valuable blog to keep an eye on as a student and I expect it to be useful once I am working as well. As she is a lecturer at a reputable university I consider this to be an quite authoritative resource.
