[Air-L] etiquette for reusing or reposting blog posts

[Kim De Vries]

It seems that you are asking a different question than those addressed so
far in the replies.  If I have this right, you are asking whether people
think it's ok for a person to post an entry on a personal blog and then also
use it as a contribution to another blog.

I think this probably would be up to the group blog owners and probably also
depends on whether both your personal blog and the second blog are in some
sense professional; publications for which you might receive some kind of
credit.  Kind of like when students ask me if they can submit the same work
for two classes.  ;-)

--My answer is usually that the other teach has to agree and we must
negotiate some extra work.

On the other hand, I and many use personal blogs to publish notes, drafts,
or documents we want to make open-access, so it's a pretty fuzzy area.

Are you looking for advice for yourself, or are you surveying us to get a
sense of general opinion?

Cheers,

Kim
