I thought I’d share a couple of blogs that I find helpful in keeping informed about what’s out there in terms of new technologies.

Here you will find experience and thoughts from some library tech folk from the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mâtauranga o Aotearoa (Read – bright young things). Also has a useful blogroll.

if:book A Project of the Institute for the Future of the Book
I’ll let this one speak for itself

“This blog is the public mind space of the Institute for the Future of the Book, a New York-based think tank dedicated to inventing new forms of discourse for the network age. if:book covers a wide range of concerns, all in some way fitting into the techno-cultural puzzle that is the future of ideas. When we’re not writing this blog, we build open source software and lead publishing experiments with authors, academics, artists and programmers.”

Both have RSS feeds so it is not too hard or too time consuming to scan the posts and dip into anything that looks interesting.
