Q Where is your blog or blogs?

A There's the Heriot-Watt Library blog Spineless (at http://

hwlibrary.wordpress.com) and News from TicTocs (http://tictocsnews. wordpress.com). TicTocs is a JISC-funded project to develop a service to transform journal current awareness. There's also a private library staff blog I created to post details of anything of interest, a private TicTocs project blog for the project consortium, and a blog in Emerge, another JISC project (http://elgg.jiscemerge.org.uk/roddym/

weblog). I also write a fun pseudo-travel blog, which I'm too embarrassed to reveal to any but close friends.
