Why not more scientist blogs ?
• Too busy w/research, experiments, funding?
Concerned about premature dissemination of results, copying by others?
Don’t know?

Future directions?
• Guest bloggers from w/in institute• Interviews with institute folk, library
luminaries, etc?• Highlight special subjects within library
collection?
