Target Audience: All academic law librarians who need to communicate with students Learning Outcomes: 1. Participants will be able to identify appropriate student communication strategies for their libraries. 2. Participants will be able to implement new communication methods and products in their libraries.
Communicating with students is a challenge academic law librarians face daily. Our competition is the students' downtime, lunchtime, web time, and time with friends. What's the best way to reach them? What works beyond the lure of free food? Does e-mail work? A Facebook posting? A web product? A snappy presentation in a common area in the library? Outside the library? The ALL-SIS Student Services Committee held a "contest," asking members to submit examples of their successes in communicating with students. Presented as an informal poster session, this program lets you meet the librarians who sumbitted the six "best of the best," learn about and see their projects, pick their brains, and take away ideas that you can implement at your library. Stop by and check out your colleagues' winning ways in communicating with patrons!
