LibWorld – Sweden

Similar to the Swedish social systems, the Swedish libraries have a very good reputation. Not only the fully developed public library system is known for innovative ideas like the Living Library.

Peter Alsbjer, Director of the County Library of Örebro, Sweden, has written an overview about the Swedish biblioblogosphere. His blog can be found at [Omv] Lite IT. A not-so-good online translation tool for Swedish can be found here.

Libworld – Brazil

Brazil ranks first in concentration of servers and using internet in Latin America [1] www.lateinamerika-studien.at
.
Concerning quality and quantity the scientific offer is barely short of the European. Not only the National Library offers some online services on her homepage. For instance you can save queries (Minha estante, my shelf) and compile your own profile (Cadastro, personal entry) including an alerting service. Also unofficial contributions are interesting, for a thing the virtual library Bibvirt created by Brazilian students. It records a significant number of Brazilian and Portuguese literary works, some of them in full-text version.

Today our guest author Moreno Albuquerque de Barros will define the role of the Brazilian biblioblogosphere. He is a Brazilian librarian and editor of ExtraLibris and BSF („Blog direcionado aos profissionais e estudantes de Biblioteconomia, Ciência e Gestão da Informação“) blog and has already written a few articles on the blogging subject.

Biblioblog: Maikatze

Und schon wieder ein neues Biblioblog (das natürlich sofort Teil der Biblioblogsuche geworden ist): Die Maikatze schreibt in ihrem Eröffnungsposting:

Dieses Blog wird mir dazu dienen, Gedanken aufzuschreiben, die mir so zu literarischen und bibliothekarischen Themen durch den Kopf gehen, aber auch zu Medien allgemein.

Die Kategorien lauten u.a. Bibliotheken, Bibliothekskongreß oder Geisteswissenschaften.

Viel Erfolg!

Biblioblog: FH Bund

Und noch einer:

Ute Kauer von der Bibliothek der Fachhochschule des Bundes für öffentliche Verwaltung hat ein Blog eingerichtet, das sich jedoch im Moment noch im Testbetrieb befindet. Es heißt FH Bund und legt den Schwerpunkt nach Eigenauskunft auf die Information über Neuerscheinungen: interessante Bücher, Links, RSS aus den unendlichen Weiten des WWW.

Frau Kauer geht in den bisherigen Beiträgen auf aktuelle Veranstaltungen an ihrer FH ein und preist dazu passende Bücher an. Eine gute Idee, der man nur viel Erfolg wünschen kann.

FH Bund ist dem LIS-Wiki und der Biblioblogsuche hinzugefügt.
