An example of how to find students
and communicate with them
Lotta Davidson Bask

3. Promoting the resources of the library
• If they do not know what the library posess
• If they do not know were to search for it
• If they do not visit the library
•Then we have to find them!

4. It is a task to get the teachers
and the students to use the library
• What do we need?
• We need a strategy and a colleague whom we
trust (and a little courage)
• Start with one course, one teacher, one
database or one open access journal

5. Where are the students
and the teachers?
Find out and chase them!
