The Shy Librarian will debut in print in January 2001, along with its associated web site . It will be a national quarterly focusing on public relations, community relations, and marketing for libraries. The publication's goal is to promote libraries nationally, and in doing so help other libraries learn from the good work being done. At present, the publisher is seeking contributions for The Shy Librarian . They are looking for innovative approaches of any scale.
Innovation is the key word.
If you've taken an unusual, or particularly ambitious approach to connecting with your community, they would like to know of your efforts. Press releases, press clippings, and photographs would be appreciated - the more information you provide the better. Short anecdotes, snappy logos, or great library web pages will also be appreciated. They are also interested in full library public relations plans to post on the Shy web site. As an additional feature, photos of librarians acting very un-shy will also be greatly appreciated.
