While searching the web for blogs with a library related theme I came across two, which might just interest the Acquisitions and Cataloguing teams of any library.
1. For the Acquisitions teams:
http://awfullibrarybooks.net/
This site contains a collection of books (many submitted by fellow library colleagues) which are still found in public libraries today and which are considered questionable as to their current relevance. Why haven't they been weeded?
Another section "Why libraries weed?" invites readers to share their thoughts on weeding and I know the Acquisitions Librarian at my workplace would probably enjoy reading this.
2. For the Cataloguing teams:
http://www.catalogingfutures.com/
This site looks at issues involving the future of cataloguing and metadata in libraries. Anyone currently working in or hoping to gain work in this field might be interested in looking at this site.
Although it does not offer feeds it does allow you to subscribe by providing your email.
** There are many more out there, some serious, some fun looking at all aspects of the library profession and across all levels from the student to the recently retired.
