The government libraries that survive and thrive under ongoing scrutiny and constraints are those that demonstrate and communicate their value.

With experience across multiple domains and continents, our librarians bring a strong understanding of domestic and international user requirements. We’re not afraid to borrow from past successful outreach programs, but everything we do is customized to suit your particular circumstances and unique value.
Engaging current users and attracting new user groups is a goal for many agency libraries and information centers, one that our library professionals support with both experience and creativity.
To promote and increase the visibility of your library, remember LAC Federal for proven results in library outreach and engagement. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

We maintain public-facing portals on the National Agricultural Library’s website and promote resources through social media and professional and academic conferences.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]US Department of Commerce (DOC)
A large agency with staff around the world and bureau missions ranging from demography to weather forecasting, the Department of Commerce was experiencing a common enterprise phenomenon—silos of information with a lack of sharing and collaboration. To address this situation, DOC created a librarian position dedicated to marketing and events, which was awarded to LAC Federal. The scope of work was left open-ended, allowing our librarian to dive in and create ideas and plans, starting with a clear understanding of the agency, including all available resources and opportunities. Services performed include professional development and training programs, promotional materials, webinars, events, graphic design, surveys, displays and data analytics to inform future programs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
