Homework so far including Week 3
I think our library could have a blog for some of the items we at the moment place on our Website as news + other stuff:

new books
highlighting databases
changes to opening hours
problems with databases

I'm not sure that I want to go down the road of individual subject blogs. I am wary of being periodically obliged to come up with rivetting stuff. I haven't read many library subject specific blogs, certainly in education that grabbed me. If anyone else has seen one in their subject area that they thought was fantastic it would be good for us to see.

Week 3 refreshed doing RSS feeds. I had a little demo to psych academics last year and I hadn't really had enough experience. Perhaps what I may do for my Database Promotion exercise later in the year is to do some of this stuff for staff/students who haven't got round to it for some of the Education and ICCS databases)

katchat, I agree individual blogs would be a bit much to keep the momentum going, but a blog to faculty staff and students may useful. it could well replace the newsletter type of communication and could include the types of things you list here. jg
