Thanks. I’ll check all of these out (in the first case, actually, moving ellie’s blog from the “library” clump to the new “cclib” clump, since I already subscribe).

A friend of mine (who is also a part-time community college librarian) has a great blog that is not so much community college focused as information focused. Check it out at infomavensdesktop.wordpress.com.

I’m the Systems Librarian at College of the North Atlantic – Qatar. I’ve actually never worked at the home institution(s) in Newfoundland.

We have 2 blogs at the moment, my technical blog and our Reference Librarian’s resource blog for faculty. We’re adding more as we have time, resources and interest.

http://cnaqlibraryblog.wordpress.com/

Both of these are likely temporary URL’s, but the changes will be announced on the blogs as we transition over to an on-campus server.

I write from a slightly broader perspective (and less often) at brettlwilliams.wordpress.com and post a lot of resources on Twitter.

We have some unique challenges here which might be shared by some North American community colleges that teach ESL.

I’m at Austin Community College in Austin, TX. I have a personal work blog at ellieheartslibraries.wordpress.com which is primarily just a place to share conference notes and the Friday Link Round Up I do as part of my duties with our staff development team. I also participate in Library Day in the Life there. In terms of posts with more substance, I write from my community college perspective at inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org. I look forward to seeing other replies!
