Tomorrow’s Webinars

Thursday, May 28, 10-10:30 AM EST

Leverage Gale Business: DemographicsNow to Promote your Resources

Losing face to face contact with your patrons makes it difficult to inform them of the resources your library has to offer. Using Gale Business: DemographicsNow you can see your community makeup and communication preferences, to help tailor your marketing campaigns. In this session we will explore how to create reports and maps outlining the demographics of your area and discuss how that information can help you reach patrons in a distance learning world.

1. All sessions will be recorded and links will be provided for those who cannot attend virtually.
2. Registration is being handled directly by our vendors so it will not follow the typical LM registration process.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
