[Web4lib] Blogs as information resources

[Patricia F Anderson]

Curiously, I just blogged about this in my library blog!

<http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/dentlib/archives/2006/08/staying_current_2.html>

The blog entry was part of a series on Omics resources, mostly for 
researchers, and highlighted the top high tech blogs in that area as tools 
for keeping up to date.
