The Library of Congress now has a blog

The Library of Congress, or as Ken Varnum puts it “the granddaddy of
American Libraries” just started its very own blog. It’s great to see the LoC communicating via RSS.

The blog is written by Matt Raymond, Communications Director for the Library. I’ve been eagerly waiting to see what kinds of posts will show up on this blog given the gazillion topics that are good candidates for discussion on a daily basis. Nice to see a broad editorial strategy shaping up, covering not just news but interesting tit bits such as Exhibition Announcements, Today in History and general happenings in the world of reference librarians. I imagine the reach that Matt has in his position as Director of Coms for the LoC will bring us some very good, hard-to-find nuggets of information over time. Good luck with the blog.

Here’s the ZapTask for the LoC Blog if you want to monitor it for new posts.

Happy Zapping, Sameer
