Abstract: An information distribution system may be used to communicate information from a central server to a number of repository systems, which may store and further distribute the information to clients. Users may make requests for the central server to distribute particular information to repository systems and further to clients. The central server may batch requests for redundant information over a time period and may and distribute the requested information at off-peak communication traffic times. The repository systems, as well as the clients, may provide to a user a central catalog listing information that is both local and available from the central server upon request. The central catalog may include categorizations organized to provide users with an easily readable interface. For example, the central catalog may include seasonal, employee, corporate news and advertising categories into which informational content may be organized.
