Since it has been a few months since I’ve provided a the “monthly top ten searches” I’ve decided to instead compile a list of the top 20 from April 1st, 2007 – August 15, 2007.  So here we go:

1. Library 2.0 (+2)
2. Service
3. Information Literacy (-1)
4. “Barbara O’ Connor” (-3)
5. Twitter (-1)
6. Exalead
7. “Generation Y”
8. Dominican
9. Harry Potter
10. Older Adults
11. Web 2.0
12. Seattle Public Library
13. Google Scholar
14. Search Engine
15. “National Library Week” 2007 Ideas
16. Contra Costa
17. Ex Libris SFX
18. Library Signs
19. School Library
20. solr

As usual Library 2.0 and Information Literacy hovered at the top, but a number of new trends have made their way up.

Highlighted Blogs

Senior Friendly Libraries

Resources and discussion about library services to older adults.

Librarian Central

Your official source for Google tips, new and updates.  (Which  mentioned LISZEN in its May 28th newsletter- thanks Google)

Morphed Librarian

Final Notes

As usual, thanks for all the submissions.  There has been a bit of a bottleneck with maintaining Library Zen, LISZEN and working on other projects.  However, things are beginning to settle down.

With my final semester as a LIS student approaching the launch of LISZEN: Social (codename) has been delayed.  An update will be provided in the next couple months.
