We here in Australia are still pretty new to blogs, especially in libraries and especially compared to the US, but we are catching up. However, there is a new tool available to Australian bloggers and to those seeking Australian blogs, which will hopefully help our local blogs to become more a part of mainstream internet access and use here in Australia.

“AustralianBlogs.com.au is a free community resource to bookmark your favourite Australian blogs. Similar to del.icio.us (but less invasive - we don’t need you to register or login), you can add your bookmarks or just browse to see what’s popular.” (direct quote from the site).

Not only that, it allows Australian bloggers to list their blog on the site, with the bloggers choice of tags and description, to hopefully encourage expanded readership.

Unfortunately there are only 2 other Australian librarian blogs there at present (thanks CW and Genevieve for putting me onto it), so if you are an Australian library blogger, get your details in there!

If you want to add your blog or you are looking for an Australian blog, regardless of topic, its worth the look. You never know what treasures you may uncover.
