Library Blogs Buzz Weekly

Having too much to do at work ( believe me it was a lot) and at home should not be a excuse not to blog but this is what happened to me in August and part of September.

Well I love blogging too much to let it go so easy, so I am back with new ideas on how to organize the blog so you would get more info every week.

Before we get to the new structure of the blog, I need to catch up with the major old posts from June, July, August and September.

Before do that, I want to forward to you a few posts that I found about the future of the book.

It is obvious that books are going to have more digital than paper future, and libraries need to be prepared. With the format war between Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Sony and other vendors on one side and different publishers on others, libraries need to find a legal way to mass lend eReaders with digital media. The sooner they start, the better.
