A long, long time ago at a job far, far away, I made this general information sheet for community college students. I wanted to make it as graphic as possible to catch their eyes, but with as little text as possible because I knew I wouldn’t have their attention for long. For the Publisher file of this doc, email April Aultman Becker.
Are you using LibCal to book your study rooms? It’s changed our lives around here. This is the bookmark I created to promote our new self-booking system. I’ve caught quite a few patrons around the library scanning the QR code with their smartphones to reserve a room. Email April Aultman Becker if you would like the Publisher document.
Our library was in need of a new information sheet, one that would reflect the changes in our logo, but also conform with our institution’s graphic standards. This info sheet is the result of many, many revisions, and much input from our whole staff. For the Publisher file or more information, email April Aultman Becker.
After undergoing a redesign this summer, our library’s website continues to be in a state of flux. Our current header design is not my favorite and I’m trying to come up with a new logo and header design for the library’s website. The above image is my first attempt but I feel like the bird alone doesn’t convey “library.” (Note: Our college’s mascot is the seahawk, hence the water-bird outline). Any suggestions?
Email Veronica Arellano Douglas for the Photoshop file of the logo or the Illustrator file of the bird.
We started a Kindle lending program this fall and used this sign to connect borrowers to our Kindle Libguide. It’s my first experiment with QR codes on library flyers and I’m curious to see if any of our students use it. For the Photoshop file, email Veronica Arellano Douglas.
Like so many other libraries, we’ve jumped on the Springshare bandwagon. This sign sits at our reference desk to advertise the Ask Us widget on our library’s website that links users to LibAnswers and LibChat. For the Photoshop file, email Veronica Arellano Douglas.
This infographic was created by staff at the Research Medical Library at MD Anderson Cancer Center to demonstrate the library’s role in assisting faculty to publish their research. Infographics have to tell a story, and working out the narrative was certainly the hardest part of creating this.

Last one of these web slider graphics, I promise! It was difficult to graphically represent our library’s new blog, so I went with a screenshot with a WordPress logo overlay. A little boring, but I think it gets the job done! For the Photoshop file, email Veronica Arellano Douglas.
This is another one of my feature slide creations for my library’s homepage. The backdrop is just a screenshot of one of our library’s more attractive Pinterest boards, with a semi-opaque layer above it for some contrast. Although there’s no exact match for the Pinterest logo font, Pacifico is a decent runner-up. For the Photoshop file, email Veronica Arellano Douglas.
