Blog thoughts

From peering into the murky depths of some of the many different blogs out there I get the impression that they can be used for varying purposes. From providing details of services available to students/staff in a format that some people will find more accessible than traditional notice boards, through to being nothing more that gossip shops. As we're frequently told that today's students would rather learn online rather than by coming in to use the traditional infrastructure of libraries and colleges I guess that an up to date blog is a convenient way of providing info about what is available to them, and who to contact over particular issues.
