Library Links

I seem to have a few new readers, so I thought this might be a good time to remind people about Library Links, which has slowed a bit. For those of you new to this blog, Library Links is a community blogroll for library/librarian/information/book blogs. Basically, if you post the blogroll on your site, you'll be added to the list. And, according to my technorati profile, the blogroll is actually doing its job and increasing traffic and "authority." All the info and instructions are on the Library Links page.

As an aside: I think Library Links is a great way for people who don't have a links list on their blog to connect with people interested in building community. Many bloggers worry that they will be seen as playing "favorites" if they have a blogroll, some don't like the look of a lengthy list in their sidebar, and some simply do not want to get into the "reciprocal links" game. I think Library Links addresses those issues - it's customizable in terms of appearance, no playing of favorites is involved, and it's automatically reciprocal.

Help! I need a tester.

This is a repeat of the post over at Library Talk. Please excuse the dupe if you subscribe to both.

If anyone out there uses TypePad and was thinking of adding the Library Links blogroll to their blog, please let me know if you run into problems working with the code. At least one person can't get it to work in their sidebar - apparently it messes up the other stuff in the sidebar. And since TypePad is one blogging platform I have not yet played with, I am at a loss in how to help.
The code on the page is javascript - and perhaps this is the problem. If it is, I can supply different code.

Thanks!

Join Library Links!

The Library Links community blogroll is up and running!

Thanks to Josh and Chris, who jumped in to be testers and gave me some great feedback. And we already have a couple of other folks who have joined up, so I'm excited.

I hope you'll join us, and maybe talk the blogroll up a bit on your site.
