[Web4lib] policy for advertising events on academic library home page?

[Chris Bourg]

We don't have an official policy, but the standard I set for putting an 
event on our blog is that the blog post should somehow connect the event 
to library resources.
An example is this post about Justice Anthony Kennedy selected as 2009 
Commencement Speaker. 
<https://www.stanford.edu/group/ic/cgi-bin/drupal2/node/589>
We filled the post with links to items in our collection that are either 
by or about Justice Kennedy.
It is a great way to advertise the event and to highlight items in our 
collection.

Cheers,
Chris
