MARKETING
- UPSpace collections were marketed during Faculty Day in September. A special display was mounted and the collections could be viewed online at the display stand. The focus was The Elephant illustrations of the Christine Seegers Biomedical Illustrations collection.
- The Library's role in the Faculty was emphasised during the function held to celebrate the 20 years that the library has been in the Sir Arnold Theiler building. (http://www.ais.up.ac.za/vet/quilt.htm)
This was a marketing opportunity, enhancing communication with the Dean and Departmental Heads in particular. A special issue of the library newsletter, Infomania, focused on the history of the library and its services and products during the past 20 years. It can be viewed electronically at http://www.ais.up.ac.za/vet/infomania/infomania17/infoma17.htm
The making of the special commemorative quilt improved team spirit and it is a beautiful addition to the original art collection in the library.
Special mention must be made of Barbara Kellermann who designed the quilt and ensured a professional end-product.
