Abstractly, the use of the blog allows other libraries to use it as a site of reference for professional development. What I mean by this, is that a large amount of the followers for each of these library blogs are other institutions of the same type or in a few instances are librarians of other fields who are curious in what local libraries are doing. So for example if we take a look at Medical Library (now updated and changed) http://www.elhtlibraries.blogspot.com, we can see that they follow other medical libraries and vice versa. This not only helps keep libraries in constant communication but as mentioned prior it helps libraries stay on track of what is going in the professional development field.
