In this introductory session, a gmail account and blog was set up. I have already got a gmail account and am familiar with blogs - primarily through the artsworker blog that the Corner staff contribute to here at State Library. This session was primarily administration rather than revelation - but I am still a great advocate of the blog when used well!
The Corner artsworker blog has been a great success - more so than I would have imagined. It is a fantastic way for the artists to articulate their ideas and make them available for discussion with their peers. Some fascinating discourse has occured through the form of the blog - I thought the blog would be too impersonal as a vehicle for serious discussion, but it has proved very effective - it's great for artists who are primarily practical in their work at Slq, to have the opportunity to reflect on and evaluate their work through the written word.
