Library Newsletters: Should You Send Yours on the First of the Month?

The website Super Library Marketing has a lot of very useful tips on how to promote library services and products.

The site is run by Angela Hursh who was recognized in 2023 as a Mover and Shaker by Library Journal.

A recent post was entitled Rethinking Your Library Email Strategy: The Surprising Truth About First of the Month Sends!

The post links to a video where Hursh ponders the pros and cons of sending out library newsletters on the first of the month, apparently a common practice.

Tracking Trump Presidential Actions

 

PLLIP, the Private Law Librarians Interest Group of the American Association of Law Libraries, has created a list of resources to help people follow the numerous orders by US President Donald Trump as well as the many lawsuits trying to stop him:

"Private law librarians and information professionals have been busy keeping tabs on AI developments over the past two years.  In our spare time (!), many of us are tracking EOs (Executive Orders) too, so we asked PLLIP members for recommendations of sources they use to monitor new presidential actions as well as any resulting court challenges.  Please note that this is not a comprehensive list—it was compiled based on suggestions that were submitted.  Also, this list includes general trackers, but trackers are available for specific topics if you search the web."

There are US federal government sources, associations, law firms, news sources, and law databases.
