_BANaRAMA(sm): A Registry of Library Promotional Banner Pages_
I am pleased to announce the establishment of _BANaRAMa(sm): A Registry of Library Promotional Banner Pages_. BANaRAMa(sm) has been established to serve as a resource for libraries who seek examples of banner 'ads' or scrawling or scrolling text ro promote library services, resources, or
collection.
_BANaRAMa(sm)_ is located at
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/Banarama.htm
While only a handful of sites have been reported to date, my hope is that the
site will encourage others to report their efforts and stimulate still others
to consider library banner 'ads' for their library's web site.
I am most grateful to those who have notified me of their efforts to enable me to create BANaRAMa(sm)!
[BTW: Is anyone aware of multimedia banner 'ads' that include streaming audio and/or video? I would expect that such 'ads' should exist!
[Think about the possibilities of streaming audio/video *library* banner
'ads'!]
