UGA’s Alexander Campbell King Law Library was awarded the American Association of Law Libraries/West Excellence in Marketing Award for best PR tool kit at the 2007 AALL annual meeting last month for its first-year student orientation promotion in fall 2006.The students were introduced to the law library staff and given a goody bag containing items to help navigate the law library. Then, the staff delivered formal information sessions regarding the library’s resources.
“Our goal is to provide a fun and informative introduction to the law library’s staff and services, thereby setting the tone for a positive relationship between the students and the law library throughout their three years here,” said Anne Burnett, leader of the law library’s PR team and foreign and international law librarian.
