What is a blog?

Blog comes from the term web log. It is a type of website maintained by an individual using a hosting site, like blogger, allowing for instant publishing online that invites an audience to read and respond to what is posted.

Posts can only be edited by the contributing author or administrator of the blog. Blogs can be very open allowing anyone the ability to post comments or require invitations to view and/or comment or post. (Solomon, 17)

  2. Try using internet explorer to open the link--unfortunately we don't have a username/password for this Proquest product--I can get a copy of anything you would like to read.

  5. Amy-I will bring you a brochure with usernames and passwords. The ones you are trying to access are Trial sites for now.

  6. Amy--there is a link to the PDF of our brochure on the library websites left menu bar. Click on *Subscription Databases*. You need the username and password to open it up but it is an easy one to remember.
