Well. With a touch of sadness in our happy hearts, farewell ALM Conference 2015 friends. Safe trips. Good luck. See you soon. #almhfx

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

Thank you, Nicole Radzikowski of @CBRLibrary. Your tips were most valuable and many! #almE2

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

Last tip: if you use social media to promote your display, best to use an image that is related and adds some fun to the topic. #almE2

[Chantale⁷ @ns_chanty]

Nova Scotia Legal Aid now has an online application process! #almE4 #almhfx #LegalAid

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

More display tips: avoid jargon, nice looking font, books at eye level, few words, not too busy, front facing bks #almE2

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

Generally, library readership for fiction vs. non-fiction is 70 to 30 ratio. Is that reflected in the displays you see? #almE2 -JN

[Hirtle @VHirtle]

Imagine an M.C. Esher painting as a book - thoughts on Slipstream Science Fiction. #ALMhfx

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

More tips: Use props; highlight the best (hardcover is best, condition of book is important); items s/b intuitively connected #almE2

[Hirtle @VHirtle]

Is Science Fiction changing from the stereotype? Let's find out. #ALMhfx

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

Know your patron. Be flexible enough to be responsive to current affairs. Do you know your customer's interests? #almE2

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

Tips: signage is key (see photo), plus use glossy paper and colour #almE2

[Chantale⁷ @ns_chanty]

Did you know that @hfxpublib will be joining Partners for Legal Education as a new partner for 2016? #almE4 #almhfx #LegalEducation

[ALM Conference 2015 @ALMconnecting]

Anything you do -- a program, outreach event -- should include a display. #almE2
