[Web4lib] Blogs as information resources

[Stacey Kimmel]

Hi,

This question was posted to libref w/o much result other than a show of 
interest in the topic.

I'd like to hear from folks that are incorporating a discussion of 
"weblogs/blogs as info sources" in their user instruction sessions -- 
their value in research, caveats, etc. I'm thinking of the topical or 
filtering blog rather than the personal journals  or commentary (except 
from authoritative sources), etc. More broadly, is anyone aware of 
journalism or business courses covering the phenomena of blogging/news 
blogs?


Thanks!
