Connecticut Libraries:
To promote awareness of iCONN, we encourage you to make use of the following promotional materials:
iCONN On Every Desktop: This places a shortcut icon that links to iCONN.org on your public access computers.
iCONN On Mobile Devices: This adds a shortcut icon that links to iCONN.org on iOS and Android tablet computers and smartphones.
These print materials can be viewed and ordered online at no charge:
1. 11 x 17 posters for public and school libraries, and bookmarks for kids can be viewed and ordered online at no charge. Your order goes directly to EBSCO and EBSCO will mail the posters and bookmarks in the quantity you specify directly to your library. The contact person at EBSCO to follow-up on your orders is: Joe Stucker at jstucker@ebscohost.com.
2. Standard (green/black) iCONN bookmarks for all libraries can be ordered from the State Library by completing and faxing this form to the State Library.
3. iCONN Tent Cards are ideal for placement near public access computers.
4. MedlinePlus, SeniorHealth and PubMed bookmarks and rack cards
These materials can be printed at your library:
1. Tri-fold brochure (Word version) can be customized with your library’s imprint
2. eAudio and eBook posters
3. Top 10 Reasons To Use iCONN.org (flyer)
4. List of resources with descriptions available to academic libraries
5. List of resources with descriptions available to public and school libraries
6. Historical Hartford Courant (1764-1922) (flyer)
7. MedlinePlus, SeniorHealth and PubMed brochures
8. Connecticut’s Statewide Library Catalog (reQuest) (flyer)
We maintain a guide showing the different ways that you can link to iCONN.org from your website, and encourage libraries that post direct links to iCONN databases on their web pages – shown here – to identify each link as being part of the iCONN offering by using these icons (choose the size that fits).
EBSCO maintains a large collection of product-specific, EBSCO-branded promotional materials here.
Finally, a great example (p. 14) of how iCONN promo materials can be incorporated into a library newsletter was provided by Randi Ashton-Pritting, Director, University of Harford Libraries.
Thank you for helping us to promote awareness of iCONN throughout Connecticut!

Bill and the iCONN staff
