HIPNet French and Spanish Library Mailings -2005
The materials pictured here were part of two separate joint mailings organized by the Health Information and Publications Network (HIPNet) in November-December 2005. By sending materials together to a targeted group of libraries that had already indicated that they wanted the materials, HIPNet was able to help its members save money on postage and reach an audience that has an expressed need for their materials. HIPNet plans to survey the libraries who received the materials to find out if the materials arrived in good shape, if they fit within the scope of their collections, and if they are now being used by patrons. In addition, HIPNet has shared the mailing list itself with at least four HIPNet members who planned to send additional materials. Depending on the survey results, HIPNet plans to do mailings in English, French and Spanish in 2006. For information on the 2005 English Mailing please click on the link. |
