Vocabularians needed

Comments on Free Range Librarian have been proposing neologisms (here and here) to describe the landscape of library-related blogs. It seems that some writers find biblioblogosphere (the word, not the place) awkward, and would prefer a more creative catchphrase. So far suggestions have included liblogs, livrastan, biblioblogistan, and my current favorite: Libkuchen; aka That Which Is Cooked Up By Librarians. It also sounds kind of like Lebkuchen, which is a cookie, and therefore has relevance to the web, which also has cookies. (thanks, Genny!)

I was thinking about the liblogs possibility. Then I starting thinking about the school component, and came up with sliblogs, which we just *know* will be shortened to "slogs" and that's just not right.

How about librarikugel (with bittersweet raisins of wisdom) ?
