In either case the lines between the "blogger who does research" and the "researcher who blogs" are getting blurred. In this presentation Lilia Efimova will provide an overview of the weblog research field and talk about the different shapes and colours of academic blogging. *Organised by Networked Research and Digital Information (Nerdi), Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences www.nerdi.knaw.nl **Lilia Efimova works as PhD researcher at the Telematica Institute: http://www.telin.nl.
