Welcome Christina and John, bringers of Information Science to Sb

By sciencewoman on May 29, 2009.

i-9dc84d4d9156dccb30d5f62466b4219a-swblocks.jpgIn the past few weeks, Scienceblogs has quietly debuted two fantastic new bloggers and a new channel (off the main page) related to information and library science, including open access and open science; digital and print publishing; information property and ownership, and more.

Christina Pikas is a science and engineering librarian and a doctoral student, and she blogs at Christina's LIS Rant. Lately she's been doing a fantastic job of blogging and tweeting the Society for Scholarly Publishing Annual Meeting.

John Dupuis is the head science librarian at York University. He blogs at Confessions of a Science Librarian, and he's been blogging about the future of libraries, among many other fascinating things.

Take a moment, stop by their blogs, and I guarantee you'll be sold on the power of library and information science. What a great addition to the Sb family!

List of Science & Technology Librarian Blogs
Here's a list of the reasonably active Science & Technology library blogs I know about. I've not included medical library blogs in this post because it's not a field I'm all that knowledgeable about. That list would make a great post in it's own right, but it's not this one. My definition of…
