Will they use it?

Librarians who serve large departments find blogs to be a useful way to communicate with faculty, staff and students (rather than emailing everyone). Would something like this work with our smaller community? For example, with fewer than ten faculty members it’s easier & more effective if I use email to communicate – especially since my faculty isn’t the most technologically savvy. Even the students have their own listservs, and again, it’s easier to email them rather than hope that they check my “education blog.” What do others think?

Hi Venta,
I think you could use an education blog on this campus to keep track of and comment on education-related resources, articles, and/or random musings, but agree that for important announcements or communications, personal email may be more effective.

You could experiment for a quarter or so and see how you and others use it, too...
