When we needed to update the research section of our web site,
we had the department Chair send mail to the faculty. In this
mail, he split the faculty up into groups determined by their
research areas and elected one faculty member, whom he knew to
be relatively responsive, to "coordinate" the feedback for the
group. As an added incentive, we put up "default" web pages for
each group that showed old, outdated information, and explained
that we would use that page if we didn't receive a reply by the
deadline.
It was suprisingly effective as a one-time thing. We weren't
able to pull it off for a second year because we got a new department
Chair with different priorities. On the bright side, a few of the
faculty "coordinators" still felt responsible enough to continue
to send us updates for a couple of years afterwards.
