<div>Hi Nora, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’ve tried everything back and forth. Haven’t yet found a particularly “effective” way to connect with faculty. Probably the closest we’ve come is that last year I was invited to speak (10 mins) at new faculty orientation. So the 100 or so folks in the
room start on the ground with knowledge that our library is involved with and offers support for open access and data management. Those 100 have been the best contacts I’ve made in 3 years. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We also have worked very hard to establish a relationship with our Office of Research. For better or worse, faculty tend to listen to them more then us. That angle has worked when trying to push info out like the public access mandates from funding agencies.
We’ve gotten items in the Office of Research newsletter, which I know is paid some attention. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Keep trying new and different things! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Others? How are you creatively reaching out?</div>
<div><br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am investigating effective ways to communicate with our faculty about timely scholarly communication issues such as the recent policy changes at Elsevier. Our faculty here don't always read their emails and putting an alert in our Libguides seems rather
passive to me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What have you done that you have found effective in grabbing and keeping the attention of the faculty on your campus?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance for your ideas and suggestions.</div>
