Spotlight Your E-Resources

Join us for next session in the series and power up for e-resources fun!

CLiC’s Virtual E-Resources Conference Series next session is May 6, 2025 with an hour of multiple sessions that’ll energize you to spotlight your e-resources!
This is a time for libraries and vendors to come together to learn from one another and share knowledge.

As libraries, we spend a lot of money on electronic resources. It can be a challenge to promote and display these in our print-centric organizations. This exciting session marks the start of a year dedicated to exploring new and creative ways to showcase your e-resources.  

What will you learn?

1. How to use products in practical ways, not just features. Real-world examples.
We have all sat through how-to demonstrations, showing the functions of a database or other e-resource. These are NOT those kinds of sessions!

2. How to promote electronic resources.
We have all used the traditional approach of creating or using vendor-produced bookmarks and flyers. Those certainly have their place, but only go so far.
Discover creative ways to highlight e-resources that go beyond the usual bookmark!

3. How to set up electronic resources on a library website to promote discoverability.
With so many products to manage and to serve up to our communities, we often resort to A-Z lists of e-resources. This approach only works if the patron/student knows exactly what they’re looking for. Discover how to optimize your website to better highlight and promote your e-resources.

Courier Bar Code Pilot Project

Courier Bar Code Pilot Project

Thank you very much for helping CLiC with this pilot project. Our goal is to design an easy and effective method to add a layer of accountability for drivers when needed.

How would you describe the overall impact on staff? Choose all that apply.
Did you continue to use the CLiC web form to submit service reports for missed deliveries of other courier needs?
Do you feel that this introduces additional accountability for drivers having delivery problems?
