I get asked this question all of the time. Why do you blog?
I enjoy it! That's the #1 reason.
I like documenting and reflecting on what I learn, for future reference. My memory bank is sometimes unreliable. That's #2.
I like sharing what I learn with others who might benefit. #3.
We librarians teach and thrive in an open environment. Now that open environment is a whole lot bigger, and so are the rewards.
