Stay engaged with new ideas
Here are some additional tips and ideas to help you continue promoting and utilizing these resources:


  *   Host a Community Workshop: Organize a workshop at your library to introduce patrons to the EBSCO databases. Use the promotional materials available on EBSCO Connect to spread the word.
  *   Incorporate into Curriculum: For school librarians, work with teachers to integrate EBSCO resources into lesson plans and assignments. Use the pre-written lesson plans and scavenger hunts on EBSCO Connect as a starting point.
  *   Community Success Stories: Share stories of how patrons have successfully used the EBSCO resources. This can inspire others to explore the databases and see the potential benefits for themselves.
  *   Monthly Challenges: Introduce monthly challenges where patrons can submit their best research findings or creative projects using the EBSCO resources. Feature the winners in your library’s newsletter or social media.
