Ein Weblog als Informations- und Kommunikationsinstrument an der Universitätsbibliothek der Medizinischen Universität Wien : 1 Jahr UBMUW-INFO

Since June 2006 the university library at the Medical University Vienna has run the weblog "UbMUW-Info" based on Open-Source software WordPress. The weblog was implemented in the course of a homepage rearrangement to serve as central information and communication platform. Firstly the paper reports on general aspects of weblog operation. Following the weblog's range of application in a scientific library will be shown taking the university library at the Medical University Vienna as an example. Finally conclusions will be drawn on the the library's one year weblog experience and its 200+ weblog entries to date. A prospect on further steps in weblog development at the university library at the Medical University Vienna will be given
