How should libraries use blogs?
There are lots of things we could do with them but I've often thought that one thing a big research library like ours should be doing is capturing some blogs of ordinary everyday people today which will form part of the 'documentary heritage' of this state for scholars in 200 years time.
My colleague over at Library Thoughts has been thinking along similar lines. PANDORA will capture online publications of national or state significance but it looks like blogs are excluded from selection at present.
Will there be a 2208 black hole where previously have been diaries and letters?
