Spotlight Your E-Resources

Virtual E-Resources Conference Series

CLiC’s Virtual E-Resources Conference Series is over. The series consisted of a half day kick off event followed by four one hour of multiple sessions to help energize you to spotlight your e-resources!
This was 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. These sessions was a year dedicated to exploring new and creative ways to showcase your e-resources.  

What we wanted to learn?

1. How to use products in practical ways, not just features. Real-world examples.

2. How to promote electronic resources.

3. How to set up electronic resources on a library website to promote discoverability.

Turkey Takeover

When turkeys aren’t just hanging out in the oven/sauna for 2 to 5 hours at 325 degrees, they’re looking for a bargain. Because turkeys are notoriously thrifty.Happy Thanksgiving Day! (Turkey waving)

CLiC’s money-saving deals are all the rage among the entire poultry community. We see turkeys subscribing to EBSCO databases, chickens licensing Pebble Go Next, and pheasants doing research through Infobase products.

Take from us — e-resource products really are for the birds.

By the way, CLiC will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week.
