Transcript Slide 1 - Collins Hill High School Media Center

Marketing the Media Center
Marketing the media center program is an integral
part of a media specialist’s job. Faculty and students
are often unaware of the services we provide, students
may not know what book to read next, or folks may
simply be intimidated by a room full of books and
computers. Promoting our services in creative ways
increases usage and provides patrons with helpful
information, books to enjoy, and research assistance.
For this assignment, your task is to choose an area of
media center marketing that appeals to you. Pick one
project from the choices below. Make sure to pick
something different than what you did first semester:
Bulletin
board
Book display
Commercial for any book or genre or books in the
media center using movie maker.
Create 5 slides for the announcements advertising
books or services we offer in the media center (or
something else worth advertising in the media center).
Each slide needs to be able to stand alone.
Create 5 slides featuring students at Archer HS and
their favorite books for the announcements.
READ photo collage
Hallway advertisements
Bookmarks
Story or advertisement in the school newspaper
A project designed around a need you see
The next step is to brainstorm and then discuss the
project with your media specialist. You have freedom
and creative control over this project, but don’t let
that translate into mediocre work. Expectations are
high. Be sure all aspects of your project are fully
developed and approved. As each project is individual
depending on your strengths, a general rubric follows.
Communicate frequently with your media specialist
about the development of your project and grading
criteria.
