What i want is a block which contains a list of links to user blogs of a certain kind (role)
Since we are an educational institute, i want a list of links (block) which point to blogs of different faculty ~ this list should not have links to blogs of students ~ the links should points to all blogs of a particular faculty
I tried blogger module but it does not limit by user role. can views help me do this - if yes, how? Or any other module?
The views module allows you to filter on the role of the author.
You can also restrict visibility of the view based on user role.
See http://drupal.org/project/views

I added that field as a custom (url) field in Profiles. I made it "hidden" so the user couldn't change it. I simply typed in the url via the Users list.

I tried that the prob now is that when i access this URL profile field from views - it shows up like a full url (kind of blog/23 etc) rather than faculty's name with hyperlink how do i get that? for in the block i want a list (of names) with hyperlinks pointing to the user blogs

If I understand your goal, Views will do it. I am using Views 2 under Drupal 6.3, and I can't speak to earlier versions.
I am attaching a .pdf of the Views page for my blog list--with the User Type filter open. As you can see, you can select multiple roles and exclude roles in the filtering process. The trick will still be to produce a visually pleasant link to each blog.
