Greetings! I would like to try an experiment on a blog for librarians and visually impaired library users. Below is information. I would really appreciate any feedback you have on this. Thanks! Lori Welcome to VIP2, (very important page for visually impaired people) at http://www.vip2.blogspot.com, a new blog for librarians, visually impaired people, and anyone interested in discussing and sharing news on talking books, digital books, digital audiobooks, library services and technology for the visually impaired, and more. This blog is experimental to investigate whether or not a blog is a valuable way of sharing information and news in this group. A blog can serve a number of different purposes. It can be a personal diary or a frequently updated website with news, information, and links to websites of interest on a particular topic. A blog can be written by one person, or a community blog like this one with posts by a number of different people. To find out more about blogs, there is an article in Freepint that has a great explanation of blogs: http://www.freepint.com/issues/020502.htm?FreePint_Session=ee67a6dad70af91dd113c5db7fa64e59#feature There are a number of ways you can participate! 1) If you would like to share news, a book review, or valuable information of interest to others, you can email it to me at [log in to unmask] and I will post it to the website/newsgroup. 2) If you would like to post directly to the blog, let me know by email, and I will send you an invitation so that you can post directly to the blog. 3) You can visit the site as frequently or as infrequently as you like to read posts. 4) If it is inconvenient to visit the website, you can join the vip2blog yahoogroup to receive posts by email on an individual or digest basis. To join this group, you can go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vip2blog/ to join; you can click on the “join vip2blog” link or icon on the blog site at http://www.vip2.blogspot.com; or you can email me and I will sign you up. (In this case, be sure to let me know if you want individual posts or a daily digest.) 5) If you have comments on a post, there is a comments feature where you can click next to a post and share your thoughts or read other comments too. 6) The site has a search engine so that you can search for posts on specific topics and posts will be archived so that if you miss visiting the site, you can still come back and find older posts.
