Renowned library blogger, speaker, and educator Connie Crosby shares her experience and expertise in this step-by-step guide to successful library blogging. As you build your skills with Neal-Schuman's "Tech Set", "Effective Library Blogging" is the go-to resource for any librarian in search of practical, easy-to-implement instruction for creating and managing a winning library blog. This comprehensive guide spans all phases of the library blogging process.
