HIT-> LIBRARY NEWSLETTER NAMES

[Judy Carol Simmons <jsimmons@TENET.EDU>]

        A big, whopping THANK YOU to all of you who responded with
suggested newsletter names.  There were some excellent ones!  In fact, I
think I'll change the name of mine with every publication. ;)  You may be
interested to know that I've chosen LIBRARY LINKS - your connection to
the CMS Library.  The primary reason for this choice was due to a
chain-link border that I could use to frame the masthead.  Thanks again
to all of you generous, creative folks!  And a big THANKS to Betty
Hamilton for helping me figure out how to post this HIT.

Hey, how about Current Calhoun Citations for your library
newsletter, or what is your school mascot??  We have panther as ours
and have used "Paw Prints" for some news notes.

Will you share your responses? One of my goals is to
"publish" a short periodic newsletter for staff and faculty.
Have done it in the past, called it "Bits and Pieces from the
PHS Library."

I call my newsletter Library Update (rather bland but that's
what it is). How about "Check It Out" or "The Biblio File"?

The library newsletter at Walter Johnson HS is TOUCHING BASES.  He was a
baseball
 star for the Washington Senators in the 30's and 40's.  We liked
this one because of the double meaning.
Good luck,

        We have named our newsletter "Ex Libris."  It is not the most
"catchy" title, but it gets the point across!  Good luck with your
newsletter.  It will be a lot of work, but the rewards are great!  I
would enjoy hearing what other suggestions for a titles are.

I call my intermittent (very) publication "At the Center", short for
Library Media Center and to imply the importance of our program to the
whole school.  For the masthead I spiral the letters of the title in to a
center point.  You could also call it "From the Center" and spiral the
name outward.

Judy - don't know how much this will help you but I named my library
newsletter "Lion Tales," Lions being our school mascot; "tales" is ,of
course, a play on words.  I had an art student design a masthead with a
lion stretched out wearing glasse
s and reading - with his tail stretchedthe width of the paper (and curled
up on t
he end)!  Eunice Stewart, C.K.

Why not call it "The Offramp" and then hold a contest to see if they can
figure out why. (Info superhighway and all that.)  OR you could call it:
    " Library Outlook "
    " When the booklady sings... "
    " Faculty FREEnotes " (that should get their attention)
    " Rhymes and References"
    " This student-free moment brought to you by... "
    " InfoSnooze " (no, scratch that one)
    " The Circulation Circular"  (I'd better quit.......)
