How can I use it?
- Library case statement
- Can be used as supplement or substitute for printed brochure
- Allows for spoken messages from library staff, trustees
- Can run more photos, charts, supplemental material than in
a printed brochure at less cost
- Allows incorporation of "value added" elements such as exhibitions, facsimiles of treasures, etc., as enticement to view
- Novelty value (at least at present) increases readership;
perceived value, especially with careful packaging, increases likelihood that it will be kept
- Online exhibitions
- An excellent and relatively inexpensive "thank you" gift to
Friends
- Allows a higher-quality browsing experience than possible
with a slow modem connection
- Digital Facsimiles
- Rare or fragile materials in library collections can reach a wider
audience at low cost
- Coursepacks
- Web-enabled CDs are in use on some campuses to give access
to a range of materials in humanities classes
- Concept may be adaptable to public libraries in partnership
with other area institutions
- Donor recognition
- Allows donors to share the recognition of their gifts with
friends and family
- Economies of production allow incorporation of much more material than is possible with a traditional print-based recognition piece such as a newsletter article
- Content development process allows opportunities for additional donor cultivation
- Prototypes for proposals
Can be used to demonstrate the kinds of content for a proposed
web site or CD-ROM
