As marketing and outreach increasingly become core values for librarians, we are always looking for fresh ideas on how to best reach our users. Come and hear from a varied panel of academic librarians about ways to market your resources, services, and events/programs. Each panelist will be discussing a specific marketing or outreach program that their library has initiated recently. We hope to showcase the great work that NJ academic libraries are doing and inspire you to try something new at your library!
