Help Promote the Director’s Chair!

Ask a Librarian is in the middle of The Director’s Chair, our second annual YouTube contest for Florida high school students, and it would be great if you could help us to promote it by posting the below information on your teen website or blog before students break for winter vacation.  

This contest is a great way to let students know about Ask a Librarian, and we’d like to get the word out to as many people as possible.  

For information about the contest, please visit www.askalibrarian.org/thedirectorschair.  For logos to promote the contest on your site go to: http://info.askalibrarian.org/contest_promo_materials.asp and to order flyers for your library go to: http://info.askalibrarian.org/ and click on marketing.

Thanks for your help!

What are you gonna do during YOUR vacation?

The Director’s Chair YouTube contest

Hey, Florida high school students! Winter vacation is almost here. How about making a movie during your time off?

Have you heard about The Director’s Chair video contest? Create a 30-second video promoting Ask a Librarian for the chance to win a digital video camera, a digital camera or an iPod Shuffle with an iTunes gift card. 

So…what exactly IS Ask a Librarian?

It’s a free online service that allows you to chat with a Florida librarian for instant help with homework, papers and general questions. (Want to learn more? Click here.)  

Now that you know what Ask a Librarian is, go out and make a creative and entertaining 30-second video that tells the world just how wonderful Ask a Librarian is. Just load it to The Director’s Chair group on YouTube by January 17, 2009, and the grand prize could be yours. 

Be funny! Be serious! Do a spoof! Do a dramedy! Do whatever you want! Just be creative and have fun.
