Comments on: From Russia With Blog http://acrlog.org/2008/06/03/from-russia-with-blog/ Blogging by and for academic and research librarians Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:32:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sarma SP http://acrlog.org/2008/06/03/from-russia-with-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-97714 Sarma SP Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:02:34 +0000 http://acrlog.org/?p=809#comment-97714 dear katerina efimova, accidentally I hopped in this blog and your mode of expression is nice that I had to swallow every bit of your writing, anyway why should the information required by the history student be different from that of the requirements of a chemistry department I dont know much about the both but had a faint idea that History fermented in cool dark place with or without preservative turns into chemistry.Jokingly. Thanks dear katerina efimova,

I wanted to comment about the language barrier. "Of course the language barrier is a great problem, very few Russian librarians can easily communicate in English..." I visited libraries in Moscow and St. Petersburg in 2003 doing research and found that although librarians in Russia may not know English, usually they will know either French or German. I was able to communicate with my dear Russian colleague in Moscow in French, and my colleague in St. Petersburg in German. We found ways to overcome the language barrier! I hope that librarians are encouraged to work with each other internatianally and not be afraid of a language barrier. Congratulations for a very interesting article!

I am sure, that if I had started a blog devoted to virtual reference only, I would not have recieved so much feedback. The amount of people, interested in VRS is very little :) And one more point here - if I chose to cove one topic, I must be a real specialist in it. I don't mean we don't have library specialists in Russia, but they are either too busy with their everyday work, or don't want to blog at all. There is a strong stereotype, that a blog - is a privat dairy, that cannot contain anything valuable. Hope, someday it will change :) Thanks for your comment, maybe there is something in that, but still I think that the best way for development of the library blogoshere – is to start with multi-topic blogs.

But there had to be a certain amount of blogs before that happened. But maybe this is just a wrong approach. Maybe those single-topic blogs would gain a lot more attention than multi-topic blogs.

I think that the Russian biblioblogosphere is too undeveloped for single-topic blogs.

In Germany the development took off in direction of single-topic blogs. But there had to be a certain amount of blogs before that happened. But maybe this is just a wrong approach. Maybe those single-topic blogs would gain a lot more attention than multi-topic blogs.
