Getting the Word Out!

Last night’s event was also the first time we tried a new type of marketing for the Library. You’ve all seen those ads shown at the movie theatres before the lights even go down and the previews start? Well, I put together a quick slideshow to do something similar to that, only instead of ads for local orthodontists and coffee shops, we had slides promoting the Library’s collections, services, programs, etc. I only had a short amount of time to put it together and I think it can be much better (a colleague recommended inserting some trivia just like they do at the movies), but I still think it worked out okay and I hope it was effective in getting the word out about all the things the Library offers to its community.

TOL Presentation

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to give a presentation to the managers of the city’s public works department. Basically, the idea was to present basic information about the library and its services. At the end of the presentation, I demonstrated some of the cool features on our website (including “view my account” and the research databases). Take a look at the presentation on Slideshare. If you have any suggestions to make it better, please let me know :)
