Advertising Events (Seminars, Conferences, and Workshops) in LIS over LIS Links to Support the Existence of LIS Links Itself

[Dr. Badan Barman]

I noticed that in every month there are at least ten seminars / workshops are organized in Library and Information Science in India. I am sure every organizing committee of the seminars / conferences spends some amount in Newspaper advertising. I think they can do it in a better way. My point is- they can think of promoting their events in our promotion box (it is just below the header of the network). By this way they can catch the target audience from all corners of India and the cost is also a nominal one in comparison to printed newspaper. By this way they can also support the existence of LIS Links site. For example of a promotion: We are promoting the "National Seminar on Networking of Library and Information Centres of North East India in Digital Environment (NLICDE-2011)" freely.

What is your opinion in this regard? One day if you will be the organizer of a seminar / conference / workshop do you like to promote your event over LIS Links?  If not why?

[DR AKASH BABU JAIN]

yes i very much agree with badan barman and requested all the lis professnols kindly support the lis links as whatever

[Mrs.K Kavita Rao]

Sir,this is a very good idea.

[Pawan Agrawal]

Yes, Idea is good but my doubt is that, when there is a number of online forums are available where the organizer gets their target audience without any cost, will the organizers choose this option?

 

This was one opinion why they may not select this option. Anyway the idea is very good....

[Dr. Badan Barman]

Firstly, No other group has such a large membership.

Secondly, other online groups cannot display the ads as LIS Links can.

Thirdly, LIS Links receive more than 20,000 unique visitors in a month, and presently no other sites can have it.

Lastly, more probably you are right, but lets see the future.

I hope I work. I would be nice for all of us.........
