Here are a few things to explore: • Student newspaper • Posters (inside and outside of the li­ brary) • Departmental mailing lists (both faculty lists and student lists) • Faculty contacts (especially in depart­ ments whose students are heavy users of the library resources related to the contest) • Library homepage • Blogs • Word­of­mouth campaigns • Flyers/handouts • Facebook • Student computer labs (inside and out­ side of the library) • Web site created for your contest • Creatively engage students.	cache/crln-7970.pdf	txt/crln-7970.txt
