ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The State Library's January/February newsletter, Footnotes,
is now online. Look under 'News and Announcements' at
http://www.silo.lib.ia.us.
OCLC has developed an advertising campaign on behalf of libraries,
aimed at library budget decision-makers. The 12-18 month campaign
consists of a series of national print ads and customizable, local
posters. Through the advocacy campaign, OCLC hopes to raise awareness
of critical library issues, enable more informed dialogue, and,
ultimately help libraries demonstrate their value. Their goal is
to raise the visibility of libraries. Learn more about the specifics
of each campaign for public and academic libraries at
