Hi Amar & others,
What has worked for us at Motorola are:
Information Fair:
We have two day book fairs twice a year. During the two days, we also have InfoTalks - a few in the morning, afternoon & evening each. Each InfoTalk(technical or general) is an introduction to a concept ot forum or resource- technology; tool; a website; an investment idea; a hobby...in 10 to 15 minutes. Each speaker gets a token momento. There is also a Library Quiz about those topics or the Library or Books, where winners get token prizes. One or the other would be interesting to most users.
Book Club:
Is a monthly hobby club, actually. Each month we had a theme- Music; Poetry; Linux; Photography; Gardening. It is calenderized and held in the Board Room. There are presentations; audiovisuals; discussions; all over the premises.
Lessons learnt-
the event has to be focussed.
It has to be approached in all possible ways- means of presentation.
It should be attractive and inviting.
It is teamwork- not just library effort.
One needs to know the users as people & network with them. Don't leave out anyone (it may sound as if one is pestering busy guys...no problem. They'll thank you after the event)
Plenty of publicity- through Managers of each team; Library Committtee Members; other committees
Best Regards,
Prasanna
