Are folks on the listserv willing to share their ideas on the historic value of publishing a college yearbook and ways in which yearbooks are used by various offices on a college campus. Our institution has published a yearbook since 1925 (except for a 5 year span when it was pushed aside because of budget constaints) and now wants several offices on campus (including the archives) to justify why a yearbook is a valuable resource. The claim is that students are not interested, it costs too much money, can't find students to work on it, it is difficult to get a faculty/staff moderator, etc.etc......I have a list of reasons why it should continue, but I would like others to respond with their own experiences with this issue.
