Henderson Valley Eggs: A New Information Collective Website About Law Libraries

By David Badertscher, PLL

Meg Kribble, Research Librarian at Harvard Law School has just announceda new "themed information collective" website called Henderson Valley Eggs.  According to Meg the website will be a collaborative effort among a group of editors to publish news and opinions about law libraries. At first glance the content looks timely and relevant.  We urge you to check it out. 

 

Here is Meg's announcement on behalf of therest of the editorial staff::

 

On behalf of the rest of the editorial staff, I am pleased to announce the launch of Henderson Valley Eggs (http://hendersonvalleyeggs.com), a new website devoted to news and opinions about law libraries. Henderson Valley Eggs is a "themed information collective." 

 

 

The 6 contributing editors of HVE (Tom Boone, Pam Brannon, Jason Eiseman, Elizabeth Farrell, Sarah Glassmeyer, and me) are all full-time law librarians who maintain individual web sites where they write about a wide variety of topics: pop culture, food, travel, knitting, etc. As law librarians, each also writes regularly about librarianship. That's where HVE comes in. When one of us writes a post on his or her own blog that involves librarianship, it will also be published at HVE, providing readers with a one-stop collection of law library-themed blog posts.

 

From time to time, there will also be posts that are HVE exclusives, most notably "Per Curiam" posts, which are editorials representing the shared views of all 6 editors. The opinions expressed on HVE are those of the contributing editors, not their employers.

 

In addition, the editors regularly post links to library-themed content from around the web in the HVE Activity Stream, using social tools such as Delicious, Google Reader, and Twitter.

 

Think of HVE like an SSRN eJournal, in which most of the content originally appeared in other publications, but which provides an extremely useful service by collecting all that subject-related content under a single umbrella. The only differences are that at HVE no one has to pay a dime to post an article, and you don't have to pay to read it.
