Map Room Blog
The UCSC Libraries' Map Room maintains a blog that is used to create a searchable historical record of difficult reference questions. It makes a great training tool for persons learning to work with the map collection. The Blog also provides the reference librarians at UCSC with a better understanding of the kinds of questions that can be answered using cartographic resources. See http://internal.library.ucsc.edu/mt/maps/

Use of blogs for specific library communication needs
As part of the process of redesigning our website, librarians at Sonoma State University looked at blogs as a means to meet specific library communication needs: internal communications, external marketing of library resources and services, training, documentation of technology implementation, and current awareness of trends & technologies. We created goals & objectives for each blog (tied in to our strategic plan) and created a distinctive but cohesive voice for each blog.
