Design: The authors scrutinize online Content Management Systems (CMS) that can be used to empower librarians to become web designers. It examines how Google Blogger can be a CMS for librarians to create and manage library websites. The article highlights the benefits of using Blogger, such as its ability to integrate with other Google tools, its cost-effectiveness, and its flexibility in design and customization, are highlighted. Overall, the article argues that Google Blogger is an excellent option for librarians to become web designers, and it provides tips and examples for getting started.
Purpose: This article examines how Google Blogger can be a content management system (CMS) for librarians to create and manage library websites. The report provides praxis-oriented solutions to enable libraries to innovate with the armor of digital technologies for the benefit of users.
Findings: The study found that, while many CMS platforms are available in the market, Blogger is a very user-friendly online CMS. From a cost-benefit analysis, Google Blogger provides numerous benefits; for example, there is no need for installation or a personalized server; it only needs an electronic device with an internet connection and a web browser. Google Blogger is more convenient for libraries that are reeling under budgetary constraints. Using Google Blogger, librarians can develop websites for their Libraries and independently share Library e-resources, valuable links, and information. Libraries do not need a web designer to upload, edit, modify, and design a library’s web content. Blogger provides simple and friendly features for the above works.
Originality/ Value: There has been little attention given to the use of Google Blogger by librarians as a tool for creating websites for their libraries and allowing them to share library-based e-resources, valuable links, and information independently. Therefore, exploring how it can be optimally used to benefit libraries at a low cost is necessary to maximize its benefits.
