Positive aspects of blogging - obviously, ease of communication, which is particularly useful in a system such as the Univ. Cambridge where there are so many fairly small libraries. It could help library staff in the separate libraries feel more feel more connected to the system as a whole and less isolated. It's a potentially valuable means of exchanging ideas and generating new ones, and generally contributing to professional development of library staff.
However, it can be time-consuming and people can get carried away with the fun aspect of - something that's very unlikely to happen to me! It's good that people enjoy blogging but in the end it's important to keep at the forefront of your mind the question, ' How will blogging ultimately improve service to readers?' It's a matter of deciding how much time to devote to it and where it falls in the list of work priorities.
