Booklist Online’s Spotlight on the Arts

Posted: October 23, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: Public Libraries, reference | Tags: , | Comments Off on Booklist Online’s Spotlight on the Arts

From booklistonline.com

It’s hard to hold back the Booklist editors when it comes to the arts, perhaps because it’s so broad a category that we all have our favorite subjects within it—some of us are jazz buffs, others “gotta dance,” and still others never met a museum they didn’t love.

Recommended Blogs for Art Reviews – New ARLIS publication

Posted: March 26, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: ARLIS/NA, Blogs, delicious, Professional Literature, Journals, Publications | Tags: | 3 Comments

ARLIS/NA has just announced a new online publication, Recommended Blogs for Art Reviews.

This is a really great resource, and many thanks to Joel Atkinson, Rachel Beckwith, Sherman Clarke, Ross Day, Jennifer Faist, Joy Garnett, Jennifer L. Hehman, Jacqueline L. Rogers, Amy Watson and editors Jennifer L. Hehman and Kraig Binkowski.

I’d love to see this list in del.icio.us, too. There’s actually a lot of overlap with links already in the ArLiSNAP del.icio.us account. Maybe we could come up with a tag to denote sites that are on the Recommended Blogs list? Or maybe we could work with the editors so that they could create a second version of their list in del.icio.us? It just seems to me that such a great resource should be shared far beyond the ARLIS/NA circle…
