Book Display Basics - Get Inspiration from Marketing Emails
One thing I always suggest is that you pay attention to the
many marketing emails that you receive from publishers and other mailing lists.
They often create lists with clever names that you can borrow. Just create a
list or display with titles from your existing collection. Alter the title as
you need to depending upon your library’s needs. They can be used to just spark
inspiration. I will list some recent examples I have received below.
