Abstract

The focus of this study is a group blog site of special librarians who work at the library department in a large geographically dispersed corporation. We examined the field data through the framework of "history in person" in order to understand the relation of the blog with the historical aspects of librarians and the library and information science (LIS) field. This blog serves as a mediator among librarians with diverse viewpoints and also between them and the relentlessly changing LIS field.
