So your library has created a blog. Maybe some of your community is subscribing to the feed of new blog posts by using a feedreader using a free program (such as Bloglines or the Google Reader) or by signing up for e-mail versions of new entries on the blog.

There's a lot more that you can do to re-use that blog feed and have it automatically be republished elsewhere on the web, such as:

• in Blackboard course pages
• on the library's home page
• on subject guides on your library web site

If your library has a number of blogs, you might want to consider combining the feeds together into one megafeed that aggregates them.

Want to know how? Mystified by all of the above? Then check out this wiki site put up by Paul Pival and Meredith Farkas for their presentation this week at Internet Librarian in Monterey, CA.
