Looking for ideas to celebrate the new LINKcat at your library? Here are some ideas for you.
Check out Reedsburg's Flickr stream - they have a countdown sign in their window - what a cool idea! (Countdown is 6 days today!)
Madison Public Library has been answering lots of questions about the new LINKcat on their Facebook page. I've seen lots of other libraries posting about the new LINKcat, too. Are you using your Facebook page, Twitter account, and web site to let your patrons know about the new LINKcat?
In addition to posting on Facebook, Oregon Public Library is conducting two half-day training sessions for staff prior to the migration and watching the training webinars and tutorials. In addition, there will be chocolate kisses (mmm… chocolate…) for staff and patrons during the week of the migration as a Thank You. Oregon staff are tie dying t-shirts and scarves to wear during the week of Go-Live (hey Susan – send us pictures!)
No time to tie dye? No problem – SCLS has LINKcat t-shirts (and other items, too) available from the Zazzle store.
These are some great ideas to start celebrating the new LINKcat! I know there are more great ideas out there – please share yours in the comments.
Facebook has been a great way to get some information out. We're also putting out candy for people who have to wait a bit longer in line!
