Competency #2 -- Blog

For this competency I chose Blogdigger to search for a children’s book blog. After reviewing a few blogs I found JacketFlap which I enjoyed reading. There is an enormous amount on information useful to different libraries and librarians. There are blogs, links, book reviews, and articles on an array of children’s topics. Other great features are the technology blogs containing tech information discussed in our class. Pownce, facebook, and youtube were a few of the World 2.0 topics mentioned.

JacketFlap

What is it? JacketFlap has become the world's largest and most comprehensive resource for information on the children's book industry. Writers, illustrators, librarians, agents, editors, publicists, and publishers visit JacketFlap every day.
