Based on qualitative and quantitative research, the authors posit three observations: the importance of appearing authentic and knowledgeable discourages bloggers from consulting information professionals for research assistance; blogging’s inherently fast-paced nature stymies in-depth research; and fashion blogging hinges on information sharing, but a fair and consistent citation standard has not been established.

An online survey and online email interviews were conducted in order to find out how fashion bloggers find, use, and interact with information and information professionals. Based on our research, we posit three observations about the information seeking behavior of fashion bloggers:
1. the importance of appearing authentic and knowledgeable discourages bloggers from consulting information professionals for research assistance;
2. the majority of fashion bloggers tend to access and use information in a manner characteristic of millennials. This along with blogging’s inherently fast-paced nature stymies in-depth research;
3. fashion blogging hinges on information sharing among bloggers and other online sources but a fair and consistent standard of citation has not been established
Going forward, additional research is warranted on a number of related topics: fashion bloggers as compared to “traditional” journalists, fashion bloggers as millennials, and fashion blogs-to-books publishing.

This session provides an inside look into fashion blogs, from research and creation to preservation. Kimberly Detterbeck, Marie Sciangula, and Nicole LaMoreaux have recently completed research regarding the information seeking behaviors and research methods of fashion bloggers. This segment of the presentation will offer an enlightening exploration of how bloggers function as researchers and knowledge creators, a population not yet explored in librarianship. Ari Seth Cohen is the creator of Advanced Style, a blog devoted “to capturing the sartorial savvy of the senior set". Seth-Cohen will discuss the sources of his inspiration which led to the documentation and creation of a blog, a book, and a film about fashionable older women. Finally, Lisa Ryan will discuss LIM College's use of Archive-It to preserve both the college’s website and a collection of fashion blogs. She will examine the challenges and opportunities presented by preserving a medium (the web) and subject matter (fashion) that are both inherently ephemeral.
