Blog Case Studies

I liked the Georgia State subject area blogs (although on first glance it's difficult to see how they organized it), and I was thinking of the potential of libraries using blogs to evaluate their materials. I can see that this idea might sound disastrous because it might solicit negative feedback that would harm the reputation of the library.
