Abstract: Tumblr is a recent Yahoo acquisition, which didn’t seem to generate the same outcry that Amazon’s purchase of Goodreads did shortly before. Tumblr is a mish mash of thematic blogs revolving around every topic imaginable – so beware those NSFW blogs out there. A large number of the blogs that aren’t fandom related, are run by librarians and there are a number of blogs specifically on topics related to our field of study.
