How do you Post to Reserved-Students-Digest?

April 28, 2008

Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

Several confused students recently asked the Gazette how to submit announcements to the new Reserved Student Digest system. Student Council Secretary Liana Katz ’10 offered DG a list of instructions to pass on. To submit announcements, email entries to digest@swarthmore.edu. Usually, Katz will comb through entries and submit eligible ones to the list, which appears at 9:44 in the morning, and 3:44 in the afternoon. However, several users including select students, faculty and staff, have access to post announcements to RSD directly; ITS handles this list of posters.

Eligible entries are messages that contain information such as “calls for submission, job openings, starting projects or new groups, etc,” said Katz in an email. Common miscreant entries include event advertisements, unless they require an RSVP, or lost and found messages. The alternative to RSD for event advertisements is the campus calendar.

Katz explained the reason for the change in the system. “In order to have each message applicable to as many students as possible, the RSD barred certain types of submissions beginning last year,” she said.
