Outreach ideas for Wimba Sessions

Outreach Ideas if we’re going to do this for individual students
· RSS feed at top of library website
· Library blog – little blurb included in each issue, which would link to a bigger item on it that we’d put out when we kick off the service
· Little blurb included in the signature at the end of reference questions
· E-mail to Center and CDL faculty. We can specifically ask them to encourage students they think might benefit from it to attend a session.
· College newsletter
· College newsfeed
· Blurb on the webpage that houses the service for which we’re offering Wimba training
· Stack of colorful cards plus a laptop playing a recorded session at the CLT table at Student All College
· Colorful card included in materials sent out to new students at start of term
· Send colorful cards to Centers so they can put them out for students, or even hand them out.
· Blurb on the Ask a Librarian page
· Blurb on the tutorials page (yet to be created)

Outreach Ideas if we’re going to do this only for classes
· E-mail to Center and CDL faculty
· College newsfeed
· College newsletter
· Blurbs on ESCnet, Mentorsite
· Little blurbs on all library pages targeted at faculty

I would add that we should find some faculty to work with that could direct their students to us directly and or work a session in as part of their coursework. For example, contact Jeff Cahan who does College Writing and see if there is a session he may want to direcvt students to and or incorporate into his course...
