PR Hint of the Week - Nov 4, 2003 - Constitutions of the World

We're baaaaacccckkkk!

Yes, after a summer hiatus that extended into the fall (how quickly time slips away) the MLA PR & Marketing Committee is once again ready to bring to you the exciting, the spine tingling, the mind boggling... PR HINT OF THE WEEK!

Have you ever been asked to find the Constitution for... Canada? Norway? How about Japan? This week's PR Hint focuses on world Constitutions and the sites where you can find them.

Check out these links. Each searches a little differently, but all are easy to use and get you right where you want to be in a few quick steps. Most helpful. It promotes great public relations for our libraries to be able to help our patrons find not only United States information quickly, but that of other countries as well.

If you ever have any ideas for topics for these PR Hints of the Week, feel free to let a member of the MLA PR & Marketing Committee know. In fact, if you have ANY sort of idea or thought related to marketing of our libraries, we'd love to hear from you. Members of the committee are myself, Linette Ivanovitch, Chandler Jackson, Jim Kammerer, Jude Smith, Jennie Stapp, and Jan Zauha.

Thanks and Happy Constitutioning!
