Blogs as scholarly communication
The Chronicle of Higher Education’s Wired Campus blog reports on a concrete example of scholarly collaboration formed through blogging, presented at ALA midwinter. I wasn’t at ALA for the presentation, but it’s interesting to see an example of scholarly blogs at work, after alluding to their growing impact in my discussion of the popularization of science.
A commenter notes that this kind of informal communication is nothing that hasn’t been happening in other forms for years - but the public nature of blogs brings a new dimension to such communication.
