很久以前就知道 ALA 有一個 Campaign for America’s Libraries,圖書館可以在活動中應用 @ your library 的 logo。但昨天看電子報才發現 ALA 與 IFLA 基於前者的基礎也搞個 the Campaign for the World’s Libraries ,而且中華民國圖書館學會是最新加入的成員,也因此提供了中文版(繁體或正體) 的 @ your library logo。
像上圖這樣的 logo是可以免費下載及應用的,只要到這裡就可以下載多達31種語言版本的logo。他們的使命是希望透過這個 Campaign以及 logo的應用,向民眾提倡圖書館(員)的價值。
其實我是搞不太懂為何這樣做就可以提高民眾對圖書館(員)價值的認知,不過看到 ALA網站上有它的目標及一些資源,或許真的有幫功,也或許不久我們就可以看到上面的 logo應用在圖書館活動中了 🙂
下面摘錄出 @ your library campaign 的目標:
- Increase awareness and support for libraries by increasing their visibility in a positive context and by communicating why libraries are both unique and valuable;
- Update the image of libraries, librarians and all library staff for the 21st century, sustaining and strengthening their relevance;
- Bring renewed energy to the promotion of libraries and librarians; and
- Bring library messages to a more diverse audience.
