Newshub and Creating Graphics

The Newshub is a tool for all library staff to promote library services, resources, and events.

It is both

• the Library News website, where we communicate the Libraries’ value to campus stakeholders such as students, faculty, and administrators as well as legislators, scholars at other universities, etc.
• a content management system for distributing news stories internally and externally, via the Gateway, social media, and newsletters

Note: We call it the “Newshub” internally. Always call it the Library News site externally.

The Newshub allows us to

• solve users’ problems by communicating information about services, resources, events, etc.
• solve problems or potential problems users are not even aware of by making their research, teaching, or studying easier
• tell “our story”--the Newshub is where the Libraries shape our own narrative
• ​compose visually engaging emails

Where do ideas for stories come from? Most of our posts fall into these basic types:

• Library resources or services to be highlighted
• Internal emails that the marketing team thinks our users should know about 
• Events, exhibits, workshops, etc. that need publicity
• Cycle of Success

If you have something to promote, please fill out the marketing form. Once you fill out the form, the marketing team will contact you.
