Migration Bookmark #1 for Patrons Shipped
by Aaron Skog 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

SWAN Libraries: This evening we shipped a package to each SWAN library via US Postal Service your first set of bookmarks for patrons. These bookmarks will help you get your patrons ready for the big changes coming in April. A couple things: We would love your feedback regarding quantity. The number we sent to each library was based on your annual circulation. Did you get enough? This will help us gauge how many to provide for the March bookmark. Send feedback to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net> Keep in mind we shipped out the entire supply, we have no supply of bookmark #1 back in HQ. If you wish to print your own, we have posted a high resolution TIF versions of the bookmark here (font and back, 10.5 MB downloads each): https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2015-02-12/migration-bookmark-1-ship… Keep in mind that SWAN has monthly bookmarks planned as part of our PR Team plan for the public. We outlined the PR tools on this migration bulletin post in November: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-11-15/pr-marketing-tools-migrat… Special thanks to our PR Team for their work on the bookmark!
