Hi Everyone, Putting on a brainstorming cap re: giveaways, and thought I'd appeal to the great Collective Brain. We're looking to come up with some low- to reasonably-priced items that could be personalized (either ordered that way or on which we could affix a clear label with some library info) and used as promotional giveaways. We'd be promoting both our Film and Video Collection and our Multimedia Design Center. I think the most AV-related idea we've had so far has been branded ear buds / headphones. Other ideas we're exploring are coasters and magnets. We'd give these away at orientation activities and similar promotional venues.
I'd love to hear about successful giveaway ideas you all have done in the past along these lines (and unsuccessful ones as well, for that matter!). If anyone would like to show off their designs, that would be fun to see. Favorite vendor recommendations, etc., too. Thanks in advance! -- Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.

College Ave. Newark, DE 19717 (302) 831-1475 http://www.library.udel.edu/filmandvideo VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
