Room for Improvement- using Blog in Libraries


Library is commonly known as the storage of knowledge ,in which different books can be found. It is also the home for the primary and reliable resources. When you aren't sure about your information or you are searching for an information and definitely you needed an information. Sure thing! a library can provide all of that and can help you in the course of your information searching and exploration, do not be worry if you don't know when and where to start locating your information, a librarian can assist you with that because they are the information specialist who are knowledgeable to information they filter and find your information in any kind of formats which you would like.


A library is not just a facility or a place where you can stay, relax ,sleep well probably some people just visit library to nap nor sleep  ,needed some quite times and study, it is also a way of life. A home for wizards so, if you want to become one of the wizards well probably you need to got lot of readings in the library, but sad to know that people nowadays rarely visit libraries to have a life long learning instead they rely on technology which is fast progressive in today's century. Therefore in this case a librarian must take part to this, in some actions should be implied to resolve issues regarding about the decrease of visitation in the library.

To resolve this kind of phenomena that is facing by most of the libraries, an innovation must be implied.Since, then technology is popular to most of us why not we implied having a virtual community inclined to the library, in this way a library can connect to people in different parts of the world even to end-users most especially to the community that the a library has an inclusion.

Did you know?
That there were tools in the web that was created to provide solution to power up libraries to engage to its community. One of this tools which is simple to use but very useful for the libraries is the web blog or simply we can called "Blog" in this tool a librarian can have the opportunity to innovate along with the communication to people.Blogging give ways for a librarian to push information out and can also wrote an article about the importance of library and its impact to learning process towards a person success. It also promotes the libraries existence and why we should use a library.

A blog can also gather feedback and comment to its community so, if we use blog in the library probably we can improve our services then, through gathering and evaluating them. It also builds relationship to the users in the library. Its just hitting birds with one stone.We can build relationship at the same time it promotes or improve the library.


"Crisis is just a matter of choices"
      Decline of statistics in the library utilization is not permanent. It depends on the hand of the librarian on how to find ways in reaching people and how to make a difference in the library that he/she handle.Innovation is a solution, embracing change is the key to enhancement and creativeness of the mind is power , its just a matter of choices. A library can regain its high usage percentage if a librarian has the guts to update and embrace change on environment.
