    News from the Communications Department

    Lots of new marketing materials available on the communications department website this month. Let us know if you have any other ideas for things that would be useful:

    Event & Exhibit Flyer Templates

    These flyer templates are available to local units to help promote their upcoming events and exhibits. The templates are available in Word and Powerpoint, so they require no special software. We’ve tried to provide enough options and variations to allow some personalization and tailoring for specific locations and events. If you would like me to conduct any training on how to use these materials, please let us know. We also welcome any feedback and/or requests for variants of these templates.

    Group Study Room Sign Templates

    With the recent changes in how group study rooms are reserved, we have updated the signage templates with new QR codes. These are now available for libraries that are using the libcal service. If you have group study rooms that don’t use the libcal reservation system or other types of spaces that need signage, let us know. Scroll down on the Signage Templates page to find the new group study room signs.

    Materials for Library Liaisons

    There is a new section on the communications page for Project Outreach Materials. RASE-WG has provided materials for library liaisons who are doing outreach for the following projects. You can download presentations, flyers, and information sheets:

    Community Bulletin Board

    “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a space where people from the Libraries could post notices for one another if they have an item for sale or are selling Girl Scout Cookies or are playing a local gig with their band?” Yes– this would be great. Introducing the Rutgers University Libraries Bulletin Board. This is an open space where you can post any type of notice you would like to share with your colleagues. Thanks for the suggestion, Dee Magnoni!

    This bulletin board is powered by Padlet. If you want to create a post, click on the + sign in the lower right of the bulletin board. You can create a Padlet account for free OR you can post anonymously (in which case, I’d recommend including your name at the bottom of the post so people know who the post is from).

    You can access this bulletin board directly at https://padlet.com/rulibraries/bulletin (bookmark it!) or via the sidebar menu on The Agenda.

    News from the Communications Department

    The Communications Department shared our new website at the State of the Libraries poster session. We have been actively updating the site with more resources and materials that may be of use to you. Our most recent additions are:

    Brochures
    Sample of the brochures available via the Communications Department.

    Marketing Brochures and Bookmarks

    A visual list of the various brochures and bookmarks we have available. If you are interested in copies of these materials, send us an email.

    Social Media Resource

    Here you can find resources and tips and tricks for using social media at the Libraries. The social media guidelines, process for requesting a new social media account, and the social media manual are stored here. But you can also find information about joining the Libraries’ social media list serv (useful if you are managing any library social media account) and our social media directory. Eventually, I hope to move the social media directory to a more visible, public site as part of a refresh of the news and communications sites on the Libraries’ website. In the meantime, if you have a social media account that is not listed here, please let us know.

    Libraries Banner image
    This retractable banner is available for your events.

    New Retractable Banner

    We placed an order for a new retractable banner and this is available for loan if you need it. For more information on this and to see other items we have available for event support, please visit Loanable Equipment A/V and Events.

    Project Outreach Materials

    You can find project outreach materials for both ORCID and Open and Affordable Textbooks Program. Here you will find PDF copies of promotional brochures, powerpoint presentations for faculty outreach, and more. If you have other projects for which this type of resource center would be useful, let us know.
