Peter Scott (b.1947) was the Internet Projects Manager in the University of Saskatchewand Library in Saskatoon. He created Hytelnet "the first online, hypertext Internet directory"
This is a minimalist blog that points to online resources as they are made available.
For example today's entry included Library of Congress Digital Preservation Newsletter, September Early Reviewer books at LibraryThing, 2009 ALA Midwinter Meeting Announcement, Vol. 13 No. 9 issue of First Monday, EBSCO's Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center, Bloomsbury Academic, ACRL Podcast: The Desk and Beyond, I Love My Librarian Award 2008
Looking over the past couple of weeks I found that he posted about newly released newsletters, conference and online class information, new databases, podcasts, information on library acquisitions, book prize information, book festival information, information software, websites, etc. The scope of this blog seems far reaching and its consistency (everyday for the last 5 years) for a blog is noteworthy.
You won't find any personal revelations here, but it looks like a great blog to follow in order to stay abreast of new reference resources.
