The document discusses Rebecca Miller's experience starting and maintaining a subject blog for the departments she serves as a college librarian at Virginia Tech. The blog, called "Notes from Newman: HNFE Research & Resources", was created to communicate with and reach out to the Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise department as well as other departments. Over its first year, the blog grew from 2-4 weekly posts highlighting resources and services to also exploring library issues, publishing student work, and guest contributions. Analytics showed steady growth in visitors and page views. While the blog has been successful in its outreach and instruction goals, Miller questions whether its versatile mission should be tightened or if subject blogs are still an effective outreach tool
