[Metadatalibrarians] Metadatalibrarians Digest, Vol 50, Issue 8

[R John Robertson]

Hi all,

Clay, Chris - the difference between a repository and a digital library 
may be a bit of a woolly one (if there is a difference...) but if you're 
looking for a starting list of repository related-blogs. the 
Repositories Support Project in the UK is maintaining a list of relevant 
blogs and (an OPML file for the lot).

See: http://rsp.ac.uk/blogs/

It's mostly British repository blogs at the moment but they are 
expanding the list if you have any other suggestions.

kind regards,
John
