I found your blog via Jennie's post about UK library bloggers. The vast majority of library (and techy) blogs I read are from America so it's great to find others from the UK. I too wondered if I just wasn't looking in the right places but it does seem maybe there just aren't many of us about. I'm glad to have found your blog anyway, that's one more to read! :) Hi there, I’m another UK librarian blogger!

One thing I learned in putting it together was that the ALA calls the "up and coming" librarians their movers and shakers. Which is different than what I think when I hear that phrase. That being said, I think the three of you should be considered movers and shakers just for giving a voice to the UK librarian through your blogging! Cheers, Connie I’m glad you found my list helpful.

I'm stumped on the UK (non law) librarian blog front too...maybe though it's because I've not really been looking too hard? I like reading about life in US public libraries because it's so different to mine, but reading about a UK public library may just seem too...humdrum to keep my interest? And my normal method of blog hopping from links on a good blog, just isn't finding working, as I've not found the original 'good blog' to start from. Maybe if we find the Holy Grail of UK librarian blogs, all the links will be golden?
