July 2024 Outreach Toolkit

Special Edition

Celebrating Three Years of Content!

Did you know that we started the PALNI Outreach Toolkit three whole years ago? We are excited to continue providing valuable resources to make your job easier and promote your services and staff.

As we celebrate the goals we achieved (in between busy semesters), we want to encourage you to take some time this month to do the following:

• Make a list of marketing/outreach goals for the upcoming academic year.
• Reflect on the past year and assess what worked well and what was difficult.
• Create a list of campus collaborations you look forward to pursuing.
• Organize any images into folders for quick and easy access for future content creation.
• Reach out to us through the Suggestion Box if you have any questions or specific requests that would help to include in the future.  
• Feature staff with a customizable profile template!
• Create a Student Library Advisory Board (SLAB)!

Librarian Profiles

Fun, eye-catching profiles are a great way to highlight library staff and familiarize students with them at the same time! Choose any of these easy-to-customize templates and create profiles for your library’s website and social media.

What is a SLAB?

It's a group of students who meet regularly to discuss library issues and advocate for the library. SLABs offer new ideas and advice on library programming, suggest ways to improve physical space, give feedback on collections, and serve as a liaison between employees and students. PALNI's SLAB LibGuide contains best practices, resources, and marketing templates to help you start a SLAB on your campus.
