A centre of expertise in digital information management A Few Issues… Institutional Issues – e.g. Can you have a corporate voice, do you want one? Technical Issues – e.g. What software will you use? Barriers to making the decision to blog e.g. Do you want all your thoughts to be accessible to all? What about an internal blog?

Stopping? Right person for the job!

A centre of expertise in digital information management Gaining Momentum Participate: embed yourself in the community, social networks e.g. Ning, Facebook (need to be aware of privacy issues, ownership of data, dangers of data lock-in) Identify and follow other blogs Get a great feed reader like Google Reader Link, a lot, especially to other blogs Comment, and use your URL when you do Be fairly shameless in self-promoting: “I like what you’re saying but over on our blog we’ve taken a different approach..” Spread the URL around
