Blog

In preparation for our CERL Executive Meeting at SUB Göttingen, we have prepared a draft blog post.
The EC meeting is asked to explore this approach and to suggest improvements.

So far, CERL news was presented to the CERL membership and the Special Collections community at large through the CERL newsletter (since 2000), the CERL twitter account (since 2013) and the CERL mailing list (since 2014), all of course supported by the more permanent information that is available via the CERL website (various permutations since 1999).

Why add a blog facility to this social media suite of options to present information?

• Because it allows us to present us slight longer stories about the services that CERL develops.
• Because the blog posts can be more visual than the news circulated via the CERL mailing list, or even the CERL newsletter.
• Because we can give a better platform for news from our member libraries.

The posts can be short or long, a report or an observation, and invitation to an exhibition or a call for papers for a conference.
