Our campus library has been keeping a blog for library-related news and events, and they've published this on its own site as well as in digest form on the library's main page. But I heard today that they've also started an RSS feed for the blog. Someday a campus of our size should be publishing a few dozen RSS feeds, so it's good to see the Schurz Library leading most of the campus with this use of technology and public relations.
The principle is republishing -- good information, created at a high price, should be reused for viewing by a wider audience. We're crazy not to. On top of that, we all come to understand eventually that people need to hear things more than once -- they need to be offered more than one chance to work with information. Politicians know this, teachers know this, and so should those of us who produce campus web publications. It's fiscally, rhetorically, and psychologically sound, yes?
