@Maggie: Thank you, and I’m happy to hear you like my site.

@Jo: Thanks for the tip. I couldn’t get your site to load when I just tried it, but I’ll check back – it sounds exactly like what I meant.

I had a similar idea to you a little while ago. I was aware of LisZen and LibWorm, but I believe people have to manually submit their blogs to these. I was also keen to create a custom search for the UK, in a similar fashion to the Australian Library Blogs CSE which was highlighted in Nicole Engard's Library Mashups book. I used the UK Library Blogs wiki which includes both librarian blog and library blogs - initially discovered by myself and other admins, now an open wiki; and tagged them as such in Google CSE so that you can amend your search to just one type of blog (I too thought it may be useful to search library blogs to compare library policies, opening hours etc.). Feel free to have a play, or read more about what I did on my blog post - Creating a custom search engine for UK Library Blogs.

Brian,
I am enjoying all the links and humor you provide. I just wanted to let you know that several people in my class are following and enjoying your blogs. Thank you for the newest link.

Oh—and class is going well so far. Thank you for asking!

@Stephen: Thanks for the link – LibWorm looks like it might be more expansive.

@Kerri: You are very welcome.

In 2006, David Rothman and Frankie Dolan created LibWorm , which lets you search across a vast swath of blogs by librarians.
