If there were to be a sort of hero or saint of the biblioblogosphere, my vote would go to the late Dr. Laurel Anne Clyde.
Her book, "Weblogs in Libraries" is the only scholarly monograph exclusively on this subject that I know of. OK, OK, there are also Mr. Crawford's great books but there are in a different style!

I've been reviewing her literature on the subject today, and there is quite a lot of it! She sort of pioneered the content analysis methods that have been used so far, and was a big advocate of taking this technology seriously in the library context.
If not for her untimely passing away, I'm sure I would have got in touch with her somehow for help with my research! As it is, this project will ultimately be dedicated to her memory.

Maybe she is good, but Rebecca Blood's book is also just as good (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weblog-Handbook-Practical-Creating-Maintaining/dp/073820756X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215170322&sr=1-6)
