[Web4lib] policies for blogs

[Dan Lester]

I'd say that the answer depends on what the blog is for?  Is it
internal for staff only?  If so, does it have a particular internal
purpose (general discussion, a particular project, staff association,
administrative news, etc)?

The same would be true for one on the public side.  Is it for "what's
new announcements" like ours is?
http://albertsonslibrary.blogspot.com/  Or is it for some other
purpose?  Does it allow feedback from readers?  If so, is that
feedback moderated?  Why or why not?

To answer the original question, no, we don't have a written policy
other than the understanding that the blog editor will use good
judgment in the announcements.  It will accept comments, but
essentially no one has ever made one (other than me).
