[Sullivan, William F]

Connecticut Libraries:
To promote awareness of iCONN, we encourage you to make use of the following promotional materials:

iCONN On Every Desktop<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/staff/iconndesktop.aspx>: This places an icon that links to iCONN.org on your public access computers.

iCONN On Mobile Devices<http://rqst-agent.auto-graphics.com/homepages/Customerwide/mobile.asp>: This adds an icon that links to iCONN.org on iOS and Android tablet computers and smartphones.

These 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<http://www.ebscohost.com/iconn> at no charge.

The contact person at EBSCO to follow-up on your orders is: Rob DePaolo at rdepaolo at ebscohost.com<mailto:rdepaolo at ebscohost.com>.

We maintain a guide<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/documents/LinkingToiCONNFromYourWebsite.pdf> 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<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/staff/urltable.aspx> - to identify each link as being part of the iCONN offering by using these icons<http://www.cslib.org/iconnsitemap/staff/BrandingLinks.aspx> (choose the size that fits).

EBSCO maintains a large collection of product-specific, EBSCO-branded promotional materials here<http://support.ebsco.com/promotion/promo_resources/>.

Finally, a great example<http://library.hartford.edu/about_libraries/publications/newsletter/PDF/2014-spring.pdf> (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.
