- Title
Archives and Archivists in the Blogosphere.
- Authors
Belden, Michelle
- Abstract
This article surveys the library literature for information on how libraries have used, marketed, and evaluated blogs, and surveys the archival literature for what it says about the use of blogs in archives. The article also presents basic information on ninety-nine blogs from archivists and archival institutions and examines the features of the most popular archival blogs. Google Analytics is suggested as a free and easy tool for evaluating blogs. Finally, this article finds that archival institutions use blogs mainly to share news and promote collections and suggests we also could use them to build stronger relationships with our users.
