Facebook Flyer: Tutt Library is Open Late
Thu 11 Oct 2007, 4:54 pm
If I got nothing else accomplished today, I made this little Facebook flyer, inspired by an idea suggested by my colleague, Robin.
I used a Creative Commons licensed work–a photo entitled Evil monkey from the movie about the evil monkey that plays funk on his cymbals–and didn’t have space to credit the photographer: the monkey image is from Flickr user scragz. I hope this attribution makes up for the lack on the flyer.
Thanks also to Dave Pattern who found the image during a discussion in the LSW room. Whew! That was one collaborative little effort.

[...] Steve Lawson the Humanities Liaison Librarian for Tutt Library at Colorado College has created this innovative, albeit slightly creepy Facebook Flyer for his library announcing their new late hours. It won’t be soon forgotten by those who see it, that’s for sure. What a great way to get the word out about library hours, workshops, and events than placing an ad where students are sure to see it on Facebook? Facebook allows you to target who sees your flyer according to network, age, or gender, and they’re pretty affordable at $10 for 5,000. Know of any other libraries using Facebook Flyers? Please share about them in the comments! [...]
