How to Promote Your Library to Your Target Audience

Published September 24, 2021 Think of the major brands that are recognizable by their logo, their color scheme, the product they sell, and the message they deliver. Then think about whether your library is recognizable to your users and non-users in the same way. If not, you need to consider how you “brand” your library. In a digital era, users no longer need to visit the library’s physical location. They can access the library’s Homepage from anywhere, so how it looks, feels, entices, and informs users is critical.

With that in mind, Softlink IC would like to share with you what we believe are the 5 top possible security sins that could be committed!

Deciding to change your Integrated Library System (ILS) is a significant decision and many library professionals often wrestle with the question, “Is it time to move on from our current ILS?” If you're dealing with inflexible legacy systems, limited support, or rising hidden costs, it might be.
