Getting Started

Welcome to the Communications Group blog. As a communications group we thought it was about time (possibly way past time!) that we set up our own blog.

Let’s get all acronyms out the way first:

UCISA – University and Colleges Information Systems Association

SSG – Support Services Group (the group formerly known as TLIG, a sub-group of UCISA)

CG – Communications Group, us (a sub-group of the SSG)

One of the main reasons we’ve never set up a blog before is lack of time. Everyone on the committee has a ‘day job’ in HE, and our Support Services work inevitably takes a back seat. The second reason I think is that if you’ve never written a blog before, writing in an informal style seems a bit strange and daunting. So, if you’ve any tips for making integrating blog writing in to everyday life, let us know.
