Wisblawg

A self-proclaimed ‘information detective’, Bonnie Shucha is not your average librarian. She is the sole contributor to Wisblawg — the University of Wisconsin Law Library Blog — and the fact that her personal profile appears under ‘About Wisblawg’ is a testament to the work she has put into making the site as successful as it is today.

For the constituents of Wisconsin who have been flocking to Wisblawg as their go-to resource for regional legal news and information, as well as the students who go to her with questions regarding their research, Shucha is more than just an ‘information detective’. She is an integral and invaluable asset to the Wisconsin and UW community. For those who care, her articles are a refreshing break from the monotone of national media outlets. To law school students on the grind, she is nothing short of a godsend.

Rather than skimming major news outlets and summarizing articles of interest, Wisblawg’s Bonnie Shucha puts a focus on providing unique content that piques the interest of legal buffs and laymen alike. Whereas most blogs spawn from an oxymoronic mixture of topical interest and perennial boredom, challenge and curiosity is the fuel that drives Wisblawg.

Aside from the obvious satisfaction that comes with maintaining a website for an institution as esteemed as the University of Wisconsin Law Library, Shucha enjoys the smaller frills that such an opportunity provides.

“I like the challenging questions – the ones that require me to dig into the information crevices that only librarians know,” says Shucha on Wisblawg.
