The IHBC’s celebrated open-access NewsBlog etc. news service has given its email alerts a small overhaul, and we welcome any thoughts from NewsBlog users – simply email Jude Wheeler at support@ihbc.org.uk.
… even more accessible and user-friendly to mobile users especially…
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Our 25th anniversary year – #IHBC25 – is a fitting time to savour our best achievements, but also to move them forward. And our NewsBlog etc. news service and linked email alerts – started back in October 2007 – has been one of our most valuable, even ground-breaking member resources’.
‘Now we’ve given the email alerts an extra facelift, to make them even more accessible and user-friendly to mobile users especially, or so we hope.’
‘Today only the headlines for the IHBC NewsBlog’s news appear in your email alerts, because members will probably know more about their news context. This helps busy users scan core content faster, and see if they need to click through to the full web post.’
‘For the non-IHBC, or ‘Sector’ NewsBlog alerts, we are continuing to include the supporting paragraph that follows the headline, as that offers members key details, from lead players and context to closing dates and costs and the like.’
‘As this initiative is linked to our 25th anniversary programme – #IHBC25– we’re making a special call to all users to let us know what you think: simply email your thoughts, proposals and suggestions to our Support Officer Jude Wheeler at support@ihbc.org.uk.
