We've spent some time reading blogs by and for librarians. It's something of a pastime here. Now that our collection of links has become truly weighty, we thought we'd share it with you. (Since there is not one true cataloging librarian among us, we've resorted to the crudest of organizational schema: alphabetical listing.)

Be sure to send us links to any blog we've omitted (and we're sure there are plenty of them). To send a link here, simply click submit a blog.
