Will this work with my faculty?

After my success with RSS feeds and setting up my Google feed reader, I am wondering if this will work for my faculty? I know most of them use email and several of them are comfortable using our CMS, Blackboard, but I wonder how to convince them to subscribe to a feed?
I was thinking of using a blog with an RSS feed for monthly announcements to the faculty about new books, announcements of interest only to the faculty and so on. I wonder if a survey of the faculty on RSS feed usage and notices from the library is in order? Do any of you work with something like this to keep your faculty up to date?

Another way you might sell
Another way you might sell this to faculty:
There are a couple databases that are starting to incorporate RSS feeds. You may be able to hook them in with that. I think PubMed has them.
I have not tried this with my faculty, I do Social Sciences, but it is another option.
