I have decided to create a new blog. Its purpose is to contribute to the professional discussions about how technology is affecting libraries and learning. This will also allow me to keep my professional and personal blog posts separate. Not that the personal ones should be any less interesting, but I will be posting all articles about libraries and education, and how technology is changing them, on the new site, which is http://bibliotechweb.com. (Note the pun?) :-) I’d been thinking of just falling back on using Blogger, but Topher reminded me that it doesn’t cost that much to register a domain name, and I can use DreamHost to host it for free since I can host up to three domains there for the same price as one. Thanks, Topher!!

I will also be moving relevant posts from this blog to the new one, to get it started with at least SOME material. (So, yes, I’m backdating some entries to make it flow well.) Posts on the new site will probably be a little more thoroughly researched and will be intended for librarians and teachers, as well as those people interested in those fields. Hopefully the new blog will be a useful tool for people dealing with those issues.

It’s always a good idea to keep a loose separation between your personal and professional lives. Plus, this will allow people interested in the miscellaneous things or the library technology things to keep focused and not have to sift through content they’re not interested in.
