NETC 2008 - Reaching our Staff: Penn State's eNews

Going back over 24 years, the IT group in our College has sent computer newsletters to college staff. The first newsletters started on paper sent via postal mail. In 1985 technology allowed us to deliver newsletters with 1200 bps modems and DECmail via a VAX mainframe. In the 1990's newsletters were first posted to the Web. At the end of 2007, we reached the 850th issue of our computer/technology newsletter.

 

This session looked at the history of our newsletter, now called eNews. How much has changed and what has stayed the same over the past 20 plus years. We'll look at how content is generated and how eNews is put together. In 2007 eNews became available via RSS. We demoed the freeware tool that we use to generate our RSS feed, ListGarden
