This was part of a plan to highlight a different resource each month with flyers, Canvas posts, and handouts at the circulation desk. November was Libby and a pretty sweet flyer.

After implementing Lean Library in August 2023, we created two marketing videos: one focused toward faculty, and the other toward students. We asked to be included in Dean's Council meetings, department meetings, and called a meeting with our Learning Design team to show them the video and encourage them to use the product. As a second wave of marketing, we began including Lean Library in library instruction as an equally-valid research tool as the traditional library e-resources. We currently have over 600 users, and the number of users climbs monthly!

While we have a small online following, these posts are fun to put together! They highlight all the books available on Libby through MOBIUS. We get suggestions and input from our student employees on what titles we should use, and even the shows/characters that we should use. Above are two examples of the posts we have made, but we also did one for Gilmore Girls. You can view all of these on our Instagram page here:

This year, we have utilized our social media platforms to showcase our e-resources! Included is a selection of our stand-out social media posts designed by our talented Library Information Desk & Marketing Assistant, Finn Bollinger. We have found that students not only recognize the names and platforms of our e-resources more frequently but that student utilization of these resources has also steadily increased. Students, faculty, staff, and administrators alike comment on the power of our curated social media presence and how it provides a fun and informative place for students to gain information about our services. Above all, these posts provide a platform for us to tell our story and illustrate our worth as an essential service to students.
