Thing #16: Advocacy, Speaking up for the profession and getting published.

I do believe in "speaking up for the profession and getting these things published," because obviously any positive library publicity is a good thing!  I also think that even here in an Academic setting, such as myself, my job focuses on getting the word out that,  "We are the NECC library, and we have lots of Great Resources, and you should stop in!"  I think that banner-waving and shouting are not even totally out of the question.  It's actually a really good idea!  Maybe, (being inspired from the last Thing) going through the campus and waving banners saying stop at the library wouldn't be a horrible idea!

On the publishing note, I guess I could post this event on Facebook and announce on Twitter that we will be having a march at such and such a time and see what happens.  It could be fun and good publicity.

So, in conclusion, although I don't think I will be out protesting in a picket line, all good publicity is good for the library!
