I was sorry to hear today of the sudden death of L. Anne Clyde, Professor in the Department of Library and Information Science at the University of Iceland. She was very active professionally, and in particular had taken a deep interest in blogs recently. She had an excellent resources page on blogs, and was author of the book
Weblogs and libraries. As Alex Byrne (IFLA President) says in a tribute today on the IFLA list "We join with her family, friends, colleagues and students in mourning Anne and in celebrating her achievements."
