The LMD Marketing Section Virtual Swap-n-Shop has happened physically – now it’s time for it to happen virtually!
The Swap-n-Shop was part of the LMD breakfast in Philly, along with the fantastic panel of Jane Dysart, Rebecca Jones and Stephen Abram, who discussed ‘Executing alignment and marketing yourself’. We know the panel was brilliant, and you might not have had all the time you wanted to browse the Swap-n-Shop entries – but don’t worry! We’re posting all the submissions here, for you to admire, browse and play with to your heart’s content.

First up we’ve got a couple of YouTube videos – for NC LIVE, the North Carolina statewide online library service (submitted by Jill Robinson Morris) and the UCSD Science & Engineering library tour (submitted by SuHui Ho). SuHui explains that the tour was developed to ‘demonstrate that we offer friendly, dependable, innovative staff, technology-advanced services, and a diversified space’.
Lesley Farmer submitted materials for two projects she’s been working on. First off, a poster and brochure to promote an IFLA professional report on ‘using research to promote literacy and reading in libraries: guidelines for librarians‘. Lesley has also developed the K12 Digital Citizenship wiki, which has inspired a whole range of badges and other merchandise bearing the ‘Digital Citizen’ logo!
IEEE offer Xplore tutorials – 11 multi-language tutorials with in-depth captions and course notes in multiple languages. Submitter Ruth Wolfish explains that they are also easily understood by visibly or hearing impaired users.
Deborah Balsamo offered us a whole host of great material from the EPA National Library Network’s webinar-based National Training Program. There’s a great overview of their offerings, and an explanation of the program. There’s also a sample training form; examples of how they market their training on their listserv and on users’ desktops; and an example class handout. We get a sneak peek inside their webinars with shots of the confirmation and thank you screens. Deborah also shared the survey they’re using to measure their effectiveness, and some of the feedback they’ve had.
We’d like to thank all of our contributors for sharing this wonderful material with us! Want to get involved? Watch this space for news of our next Virtual Swap-n-Shop! We’d love to feature your material.
