Blogs have become increasingly visible as a mainstream

writers, academics, and the teenager next door. This session explores the
function of blogs in modern society, their anticipated use as documentation, and
related appraisal, description, and preservation issues. A portion of the
session highlights ideas for ways in which archives themselves might utilize
blogs for outreach, service enhancement, and more.
