This fall, in conjunction with the My Library Is campaign, RAILS and IACRL will co-host an online event to help academic libraries promote and articulate their value. This event will take place on Tuesday, November 5, 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. To help with this event, academic librarians are invited to submit ideas for short presentations (10 min) regarding marketing and/or promotion efforts. These topics may include (but are not limited to):
- Making administrators/deans aware of the library’s value
- Demonstrating the library’s impact on student success
- Articulating the ways in which the library advances the missions/goals of your institution
- Ensuring that libraries are brought to the table when big institutional decisions are being made
- Making the faculty and other university/college staff aware of what the library can do for them
- Making students aware of what the library can do for them
If you would like to be considered to present, please email Dan Bostrom, RAILS Member Engagement Manager, dan.bostrom@railslibraries.info with your idea by Friday, September 13.
