Any kind of events the community hosts, grants, major development work finished, other programs we participate in would be great for press releases. I was also thinking that announcement kind of releases would work, too ("the Evergreen community announces the dates and location of its 20-- International Conference" or something like that). Apparently, those are called "media advisories" instead of press releases, which I just learned, but would still go to the same kinds of outlets.<div><br></div><div>As for additional places to send releases, maybe we could add some non-library places, like InfoWorld, which covers some open source news, Outsell, Inc., which sends out daily information industry headlines, or ITHAKA, which covers higher ed stuff (though libraries are included there)? There are probably some other tech industry places I don't know about. Or maybe organizations of previous conference keynotes, if those aren't part of libraryland. No idea what kind of traction we'd get, but probably couldn't hurt. </div><div><br></div><div>-Debbie<br><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_-4703597640125760323m_-8726104660468166860gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Debbie Luchenbill<div>Evergreen Coordinator</div><div>MOBIUS</div><div>111 E.

Generally if a library goes live on Evergreen with the assistance of a vendor the vendor will issue a press release and I don't want to dilute messages by duplicating those but if a library goes live on their own I think a press release from us (with their blessing) would be appropriate (assuming we know about it). Have we traditionally written up post event articles / press releases for things like the Evergreen conference or hack-a-way? Grants related to Evergreen would be great to do releases on. This is a bit in the past but when we were working with Google Summer of Code that sort of thing would make for a good release I think.<div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Dec 7, 2018 at 10:43 AM <<a href="mailto:rogan.hamby@gmail.com" target="_blank">rogan.hamby@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Is anyone aware of other sources that should be added to that list?
