Review of Pete Scott's Library Blog

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.

Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements
would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Bless you

Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other person's webpage link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar in favor of you.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright
infringement? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
