See Also is [no longer] closed

Update, November 12, 2010: I changed my mind.
We are coming up on the fifth anniversary of the start of See Also. Which seems like a good time to shut things down around here.
I’m happy that See Also has been part of the whole wave of library blogs, but like all waves, I think this one has crashed. I don’t have much to say here (the last substantive post was in April) and I think that most people share my wearyness when it comes to reading library blogs, too (only one person read my last post closely enough to get the joke).
So for now, all the content will stay up and I’ll just turn off the comments. If I feel the need to share something, I’ll probably do it on the Library Society of the World blog. If I really feel the itch to start blogging again after six months or so, I guess I’ll start a new blog. Because this one is done.

Your next blog should perhaps just be called See.
I will miss this one, also.

Sad, see also crushed, dismayed, depressed, and mournful. Narrower term: blogencholia, ex-site-ation. Related term: symapthetic.
But damn. A new see also… post was always reason to pause and enjoy.
I will miss this blog.

So … if I’m not coming to mourn until 20 August does that mean I’m not a faithful reader? Well, I was once. And I mourn. Or at least what I mean to say is that I did enjoy the blog and will miss being able to read it every once in a while.

[...] Today is the sixth anniversary of the start of See Also…. If you look at last year’s anniversary post, it wasn’t much of a party. It was both an honest statement of how I felt at the time and an [...]
