The Cites & Insights 5, Number 10: September 2005 has a very good and interesting article, Investigating the Biblioblogosphere, which looks at the top 60 library blogs (they found approx. 230).

After identifying blogs by individuals or a small group (up to four) of self-identified library specific people that have at least one posting in 2005 and at least one RSS/ATOM feed, the author tries to identify the reach of each these blog using information from Bloglines, Google, MSN, and AllTheWeb. Thus the "top" 60 blogs came to be.

What I found most interesting are the brief comments made about the blogs. For each blog, he provides the motto or subtitle, the mission, the author as named in the blog, and his impression as to the overall nature of the blog (professional, topical, and personal postings).

It is interesting to read through the listing of blogs and discover new blogs that I haven't discovered and some most definetly will be going to my Bloglines list for reading.

So, where is the Krafty Librarian? If you look at his analysis spreadsheet http://waltcrawford.name/liblograw.xls you will see all 232 blogs he evaluated and I am happy to say I was evaluated and I am at 144...which I don't think is too bad for this little medical librarian, there are some very prolific and impressive bloggers above me.
