[Eril-l] Advertising new electronic resources

[Holzapfel, Arabella]

Hi Elyssa and ERIL-Lers,
At Middlebury, our main “public” advertisement is on our blog. Here’s a recent example:
http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2015/08/07/oxford-portuguese-dictionary-new-to-the-library/
I try to get the post up within a day or two of when we’re notified that we have access, or at least that week.

Behind the scenes, our liaisons send email to the departments or faculty members they know to be interested in a particular resource, with a link to the blog post.

That’s pretty much the extent of what we’re doing now. I am eager to read about what other libraries are doing. Thank you for the question!

Subject: [Eril-l] Advertising new electronic resources

Hi,

Our library is reconsidering how we advertise our newly acquired electronic resources.  I welcome responses describing how your library advertises your new electronic resources, and which method(s) seems to work the best.

If you do not advertise new electronic resources, I would appreciate knowing why!

Thank you,
Elyssa Gould
