Description:

mBlog was a blogging service introduced to the University of Michigan in 2006 by the University Library in partnership with ITCS and the Bentley Historical Library. Based on the the Moveable Type platform, mBlog provided an ad-free and readily accessible blogging system to students, faculty, and staff at the University of Michigan. In an effort to rationalize services and save costs, mBlog was taken offline in 2014 and replaced with a new blogging platform. This collection documents how the University of Michigan community interacted with this technology and utilized blogs from 2006-2013 for various university functions and also to represent unique viewpoints and perspectives.
