However, I am actually going to reference this one in my discussion, as I think it presents some great information for librarians who blog. Thanks for the thought provoking post!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (http://www.eff.org) and the Citizen Media Law Project (http://www.citmedialaw.org/) have excellent resources on blogging rights.

Things to think about:

1. Government workers have more rights than private workers who are treated as “at will”.
2. Employers are now searching web sites, blogs, Facebook, etc. for employee names and any comments.
3. Lawsuits can be expensive.
4. Putting a disclaimer on your blog usually does the trick.
