There really wasn't much said about kid and YA blogs, which made me sad, and I wish more had been said about the relationship bloggers and librarians can have. But it was all very pro-blogging and the panel talked about how they like the immediacy of blogs and how they are great to look at because you can have info right away, where review journals take awhile to publish. They also like that blogs are more personal. They mentioned that blogs are becoming a new authority which I liked because I think they can be super helpful!<br />I also liked that John Green talked about author's being online more and interacting with readers and said "they're not going to read my books if I don't reach out to them." He also mentioned he now has a better understanding of his audience because of his online interactions with them.<br />That's about it from my notes. I thought it was a great springboard topic, but since I already blog, I'd like to see a session on how blogs and libraries can work together.GreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-26379552794599511782009-07-15T22:01:08.875-04:002009-07-15T22:01:08.875-04:00Having missed both BEA and ALA this year, I was gr...Having missed both BEA and ALA this year, I was green from my head to my toes. I'm glad everyone else had so much fun though. Now I have to figure out how I can possibly make it to DC so I don't have a trifecta of conference envy in 09.Bibliovorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642058689885973447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-11872037618115949822009-07-15T16:14:10.380-04:002009-07-15T16:14:10.380-04:00Wow, I sure used a lot of exclamation points in th...Wow, I sure used a lot of exclamation points in those Tweets.
