Management of Electronic Materials:
Collection Promotion
Many promotional activities can be designed to encourage
patrons to use your electronic materials.
Many public libraries offering promotional activities make use of fun software such as Art Explosion Scrapbook Factory Deluxe or Art Explosion Greeting Card Factory Deluxe by Nova Development.
For example, consider holding a pre-Mother's Day event where students read books, explore crafts websites, and create computer-generated cards.
Promotion Example
Incorporate
electronic materials along with audio, video, and book materials in
promotions. For example, a Fourth of July history promotion might include
resources for both children and young adults. Both PBS and PBS Kids
DVDs could be incorporated along with educational software such as Liberty's
Kids
to go with the PBS Kids television series.
BackPack Promotions
Many libraries bundle resources into backpacks that include books, software, web links and other resources.
Go to Buddy Backpacks. How could this type of project be implemented in a school or public library?
