Recent literature posting questions.

Amy asks:
I'm wondering how recent should the literature (i.e. articles, books) be? Can I use literature published in the late 1990s?
p.s. can I post questions here?

Yes, there are articles published in the mid-90's that are still relevant because they discuss and predict present trends. So late 90's is fine.

You can post questions as comments. I have not enabled authorship in this blog, but if you would like me to post a question as a new post, I will do so and the rest of the class can comment away.

Hi
I don't have any actual cooments yet, it's my first entry and I just want to see if it'll end up in the right place.
Just one comment maybe; I checked LIBDEX page and cliked on Links to get to Weblogs; what I got instead was lights.com for lights,lamps & lighting accessories.

The blog I looked at was called "Inspyration"
http://inspyre.ca/inspyration/nfblog/?cat=9

This blog seemed very helpful in listing Canadian job postings for people in the library field. The focus of this blog is employment opportunities; however, there are several other topic categories such as, "conference announcements", "continuing education", "interesting links", and "publishing and presenting".

My only concern is that the most recent post is July 2007. I am wondering if this blogger has given up, because before July there were consistent monthly postings.
Best, Haidee

I found:

https://www.lib.uwo.ca/blogs/education/

This blog covers a wide range of topics . . libraries, education-related announcements and reviews of controversial 'issues' in the educational system. It also links to interesting journal articles.

This blog seems to be updated 'regularly'. The last entry was on Oct. 3, 2007 . . .which was not too long ago. : )
