Scholarly Blogging

Halavais, Alexander. “Scholarly Blogging: Moving Toward the Visible College.” Uses of Blogs. Ed. Axel Bruns and Joanne Jacobs. New York: Peter Lang Publishing, 2006. 117 – 126. Print.

This chapter outlines the rise of scholarly blogging and offers the four belief common to bloggers. Halavais suggests that the blog replaces the notebook for scholars and allows them to communicate with and reach the two audiences they need – other scholars and the general public – with a medium that is both professional and personal at the same time.
