Most bookstores, especially used books bookstores, are willing to post library flyers and distribute bookmarks. Most of us, at one time or another, have wondered what to do with all those superseded CDs that accumulate in the corner of the office. These can be unusual calling cards. Include a CD in your letter of welcome, along with a bookmark and your business card, to new faculty or new community leaders. Community leaders such as the Fire Chief, Police Chief, or the new mayor would most probably notice your unusual welcome packet.
Most people enjoy receiving flowers.
Welcome your new faculty with a bouquet of two or three flowers in your school's colors and your business card and you will be remembered for your thoughtfulness and creative ways of bringing attention to your library. Finally, the new electronic environment offers new possibilities and creative approaches to promoting the Federal Depository Library Program and its services.
