Online Student Resource Bookmarks

Fronts/backs of the online student resource bookmarks.

As the summer winds down--and with it the associated Summer Reading Program--librarians take a brief moment to catch their breath, regroup and plan for upcoming library activities and events. This includes focusing on generating publicity about what student resource material and services may be available through the library. 


As schools begin to open, our library district wanted to provide schools with opening day bag stuffers that promote our library offerings. Some of the items we typically provide schools every year are bookmarks that include online resources students could use to help with research and homework assistance. I was tasked with the assignment to create three different 4.25x11 inch book marks that listed grade-appropriate student resources: one for grades K-6, one for grades 5-12 (there was some overlap in resources, I was told), and one for home schooled students. The first two required a print count of 1000; the latter one needed only 500. I printed each of the bookmarks two-up per 8.5x11 inch page on 110lb card stock, then trimmed in half to size. All of the listed database resources are available through the library website.
