Included are articles about the blogosphere of: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Malawi, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Puerto Rico, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Trinidad & Tobago, USA.

The book started from a series of guest posts at Infobib (the series has since grown). My contribution to the book was from this post I contributed in 2007.

I'm humbled and honoured to be part of this book (mine's the entry for Singapore, on page 51). When the Infobib authors sought the permission from contributing authors to be in the book, I readily agreed of course.

It's a useful compilation with interesting insights from librarian-bloggers from places like Iran and Japan (who usually don't blog in English).

The Infobib authors say: "Our trip through the library blogosphere does not end at this point. So if readers from all over the world would like to enrich our collection, please contact us!"
